AWESOME! WELL WORTH IT! THE GUIDE WAS SO INFORMED!

The guide was really cool and divulged an ocean worth of info! There's no doubt that my wife and I couldn't have done the same tour on our own. All the nuances on this section of town were given to us in an informed manner. Plus the guide was so authentic and cool! Well worth it!

Factual, Enlightening, Colorful, and Needed

It was a great tour and Izu was fantastic! It would be tragic if there is no one left with the firsthand experience of the events that occurred during the period. We would recommend having more visuals/props to compare then and now. Short video clips with music of the times at the end would be great. All in all, would not miss it when on a SF visit. Another suggestion: a magic bus for the tour.

What an incredible, fun day!

We had a fabulous time. Izu, Eco and Benny were great tour guides and companions for our day in the Haight. From the moment we met, it was like getting a tour from old friends. Izu answered all our questions, Eco was a great "Knight in Shining Armor" and Benny was the perfect mascot. Your energy balance really made our trip memorable. We got some fantastic photos! Thank you for a great day!

Interesting voyage back in time

I would recommend this tour for people who want to have an idea of what was special about the Haight Ahsbury area in the 60s and the history and renaissance of that neighborhood that remains otherwise quite rundown and would not be very interesting otherwise. Your guide will ahve for you many anecdotes and knows his botanics (no not only that kind- lol -the neighborhood actually has a huge variety of trees he will eb happy to tell you about), so whether you are a fan of the counter culture movement, architecture, Janis, Jimi or the Grateful Dead or just want a 3+ hour walk (yes you do need to like to walk... A LOT!) you should enjoy this tour. Fun and informative.

Izu was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable at the same time. Her passion for the neighborhood and its history quickly became contagious!

Isu is awesome!

We were only in San Francisco for a very short weekend and this tour was the bulk of our sightseeing. The tour guide, Isu, was unbelievable! She was extremely knowledgeable, humorous, and very entertaining. I recommend this tour to all, including any SF natives!!

Worth Every Penny

Our tour guide was Izu, who has lived in the Haight-Ashbury since 1971 and also visited in 1967 with her parents as a child. The things she told us could only come from 'the real deal" and everyone was very entertained and came away wanting more, even though Izu didn't finish until we had covered every question. I can honestly say that this was my best part of my trip to San Francisco and I feel more educated about the area and more inclined to walk the area on my own. People like Izu are hard to find because they tell you the truth and the little-known facts. We finished the tour by going inside a house which is actually in the famous Grateful Dead photo with them at the street sign for Haight-Ashbury. Give yourself a more than few hours for this tour but you'll come away thinking about it for years - And if you're a huge fan of the bands, actors and music of the area, it will be glued to your heart forever. Thanks, Izu! - Tim & Malaida

Izu Will Please You!!
Tue, Aug 15, 06   9:30 AM sdgetz Unspecified 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Izu was my guide. It was great to get a sense of the feel and vibe of the neighborhood during the Summer of Love and the subsequent years from someone who was there and experiencing it firsthand. Personally, I enjoyed the more political topics - the Diggers, the protests, the drive to create an egalitarian community. Overall, I left the tour feeling satisfied, more connected to the neighborhood, and as if I had bonded with Izu and the other people on the tour. She had a way that made us all feel comfortable and like a group of friends on an informative walk.

Probably the best way to experience the area is with people that were there during the 60's and 70's. Izu (our guide) and Pam (our host) made the experience.

Walking through history
Sat, Nov 14  9:30 AM awlbidnz Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
We have made many trips to San Francisco & spent sufficient time in the area to believe we had seen most of what the Haight-Ashbury area had left to offer. This tour with Izu & Benny added so much of the personal history, that could only be provided by someone that lived there during the summer of love, we felt it was well worth the time & money. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk & had a great time with our guide.

Essential for the clued up tourist, or even local
Thu, Oct 15  2:00 PM bobness10 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Don't get hung up on the title, this isn't all about hippies, flowers in your hair and dope for 2 hours. Rather it's a knowledgable, entertaining and thorughly enjoyable walk through H-A's history. Buildings, flora, fauna and events are brought to life by a local guide who, in our case, has lived (and lived a fair bit, by the sounds of it) in H-A for years. Well worth the money, and you get plenty of tips as to where to eat/drink too!
