| If you're visiting San Francisco, you'll get far more out of this guided tour than an impersonal visit to the usual city tourist destinations.
Well thought out, informative, and well-conducted. Budget about 2-1/2 hours and be prepared to walk (though it isn't at all exhausting). |

| The walk was informative and enjoyable. Collette knows the city and its history. I've been to San Francisco many, many times - this tour provided wonderful insight into the city's history. I'd highly ecommend it to anyone. |

| Javawalk is a wonderful local tour that gives you an insiders view of San Francisco. Collett is extremely personable, and has an overwhelming amount of knowledge. She can talk about just about anything. Her small personal tour is definately the way to go! |

| We had a very enjoyable time on our tour. Our guide was interesting, knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. Definitely a tour in the spirit of the coffee house experience . |

| Nicole was our tour guide. We walked around Chinatown, Jefferson Square, and North Beach. She told us great stories, many of which you probably wouldn't read about or hear about anywhere else. She was also kind enough to let us know which spots would be great for dinner or a cocktail later, and which we should avoid. She didn't mind that we were a chatty group, and kept her much longer than scheduled. We loved the two coffee shops we stopped at. I actually stopped by one of them later in the day to get another affogado. I am now hooked! I also take a lot of photos, and Nicole didn't mind stopping multiple times along our route to let me take more pictures. This tour is a definite thumbs up...even if people in your group are not coffee drinkers. If you like history and great stories, you will love this tour. |

| Our Javawalk guide, Nicole, was brilliant: coffeehouses served as mileposts along a morning tour of San Francisco that somehow managed to cover most of what you'd really want to know about the city on first flush along with scintillating historical and cultural details that transcended the usual hoary namedropping and tall tales. She made us feel like new friends from the start, and old friends at the conclusion. Highly recommended for folks like us who want to be taught in full color without any frippery or tiresome monument-gazing. All hail Nicole! :-) |

| We had the best time with our tour guide. She was so personable and fun. My wife was pregnant and she had no trouble walking the distance that was required. I would suggest this to anyone and everyone going to San Francisco! |
