Haight Ashbury Flower Power Walking Tour

Even though I had visited the Haight several times before, I thoroughly enjoyed the Haight Ashbury tour with Izu. She was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the neighborhood, and showed us the former home of the Diggers along with a house Charles Manson lived in. Yipes! Of course, there were lots of musical landmarks. I'm a Deadhead, so I was glad to see the Grateful Dead house at 710 Ashbury, but I hadn't realized that Janis Joplin, Country Joe, and Jimi Hendrix all had lived in the next block north. We also visited a hippie museum in an old house that had a wonderful kitchen and lots of photos and memorabilia of the 60s. I really got a good feel of what it's like to live in the Haight today. There's only one thing that would have made this tour more enjoyable - a visit from Benny the dachshund. I heartily recommend it to any Deadhead or anyone who still believes in giving peace a chance, and I bid you good night!

Every moment of our tour of Haight-Ashbury with Ezu was magical. She had everyone listening eagerly to every story she told of the neighborhood and the famous people who visited and lived there over the years. We laughed until we cried at her stories. Her tour was one of the highlights of our visit to San Francisco. Thank you, Ezu.

This was a great walking tour. Izu is a trip and a half all by herself. She is knowledgeable and calls it like she sees it. One of the best tour guides I have ever had. The Haight was never about being politically correct. It was about expressing yourself. She certainly does and it adds a great touch to the whole tour. Kept us all laughing while showing us around. It will run long. So be prepared to walk a lot and spend extra time. DSM

Izu our guide was very charming, exuding hippyesque charm, while being very knowledgeable about the Haight. I highly recommend Izu and this tour, one of my highlights of my trip to San Fran.

My partner and i enjoyed this walking tour tremendously. Isu kept the tour informative and funny. She was an exceptional tour guide. I have already recommended the tour to friends and they have already booked future tours! Isu offered valuable first hand experience that i'm sure no one else has. Our group was enthusiastic and fun. A nice mix of nice people! Well worth the $20--a steal! Isu offered info you won't find in any guide book!

My teenage daughter and I did this tour recently on our trip to Northern California. Man, what a treat! The tour guide was awesome and was quite knowledgable of the area and the local residents of Haight-Ashbury, having lived there for some time. The tour even went over and no one in our little group noticed, as we were so consumed with the stories, etc. that he was giving us. It was a very nice tour and I would highly reccomend it!

This was a terrific tour for any audience: the music fan, the history buff, the neo-hippie, the architecture buff, or the just plain curious. Our tour guide Stan Fluoride was a neighborhood resident of nearly 20 years, greeted frequently along the way by locals. He was knowledgeable, funny and objective about the area and its history, focusing not just on the late 60's but on the periods prior to and since that time. His passion for the topics and the place stretched our two-hour tour to three hours, so I'd say that Stan gave us our money's worth and more.

We had a wionderful time, The guide was able to captivate my teenager's attention! Recommended to see and do!

Our tour guide was fun and informative, The district was every bit as colorful as its historic 'Summer of Love' past. we learned alot and enjoyed the tour very much.

Guide is a wealth of information. My 15 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

We enjoyed our visit to the Haight-Ashbury area and our tour guide had great personality!

Our guide was Izu. At first we weren't sure she was our guide. The tye-died tights, tennis shoes and cane made us question if the enthusiastic lady on the corner was just plain crazy or was she trying to corral the tour group.? We soon figured out that Izu is like the Haight...different but charming and entertaining. Her level of knowledge was amazing. When the we hugged goodbye at the end of the tour we felt like we were saying farewell to an old friend. Would highly recommend this tour. Izu was awesome. Benny the wonderdog was precious.

We were in the area to see "The Dead" at Shoreline, we brought our two youngest children, now adults, and they wanted to see the infamous Haight Ashbury, so we booked the tour not really knowing what to expect. Well it was all uphill from there.. The tour was fantastic, our guide Stan was great! He was so knowledgeable about the area and the history. He had many many pictures and stories to add to the experience. I would recogmend this to everyone looking for a fun time. After the tour we went back to Magnolia's, had lunch and enjoyed their great beer. Still laughing about the old poster and Magnolia Thunderpussy, now there is one more reason to take the tour. Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile. Later, The Bennett family from Utah, now back behind the Zion curtain.

My husband and I had a great time on the tour. Unfortunately he had an allergic reaction to something and we had to leave the tour near the end to take him to emergency. We had a great time with Isu and highly recommend her for anyone thinking of taking this tour. She even took the time to call us later that night to make sure my husband was okay. Toni Elordi

This tour was very exciting and educational. The tour guide--Izu-- was fun and well informed. It was great having a guide who had forst hand knowledge of the times, places and people. Great time!
