Though we have been to SF several times, this tour put the city in context like no other. We need to go back to follow up on all the great recommendations she gave us. Her passion for the city really shows through on the tour.

Collette provide a wealth of information about the city and tied in into the local coffee culture. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the city ... as well as the great coffee spots!

Don't miss this tour if you are visiting SFC!

It was a wonderful experience! The tour was informative to a point that I wanted to read about North Beach and its legacy afterwards. The two cafes "Treiste" and "Greco" served excellent coffee. The ambience of both cafes were that of the 50's era. Collette's narration of the tour was eloquent and professional. Her knowledge of the area surprised me. I want to thank Javawalk for extending their courtesy even though I was the only participant for that day. Now that is service!

Much better than a trip to the tourist meccas

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).

Wonderfully informative and entertaining
Fri, Jul 4, 08   10:00 AM davidstone Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
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!

Was a great and informative walk....Not just learning about and visiting coffeeshops...but informative and interesting about SF in general...history, stories, current events etc....Collete was fantastic...I will certainly recommend to others....and though there was alot of walking....SF is just a plain "fun to walk in" City!! After the tour, (that evening and next night) I revisited several of the coffeeshops and places we had been...and attended the Beach Blanket Babylon performance that Collete had mentioned as well.... Thanks...so very much for the GREAT tour... Woody

Delightful Tour of San Francisco
Sat, Nov 7  10:00 AM oldprofessor Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
Extremely knowlegeable and enthusiastic, Collette guided us through Chinatown, Little Italy, North Beach....all the while providing us with tidbits of San Francisco history. We have lived in the area for over 30 years and still learned a thing or two. Walking through very interesting parts of the City on a beautiful day, made for a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Not really a java walk
Tue, Aug 11  10:00 AM tonymsrad Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
First 40 minutes spent in Chinatown going over history of city--we had just had a separate tour of Chinatown so were not happy to have a repetition. We went to 1 open coffee shop and had a drink; then walked to 2 other closed (!?) shops before going to one last open coffee shop for a small espresso dessert. I can't recommend this tour.

Great way to explore San Francisco!
Fri, Jul 31  10:00 AM rcatha Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
It's always better to explore somewhere on foot -- the Java Walk provides the enhancement of having a knowledgeable person lead you on the tour and share interesting history about the areas you're visiting. The pace and length of the tour were just right, and it inspired me to return to spend time in some of the stores and restaurants. I'd like to learn about similar tours in different parts of the city, too.

High praise from a local
Fri, Jun 26  10:00 AM geo_roberts Female 30-39 Local Family Without Children
The Javawalk tour was great fun and very informative. My husband and I are from the East Bay and received the tickets from family members who had a last minute change of plans. I had no idea what to expect, but love coffee and was able to get a day off work. The coffee was great, but what surprised me was how much we learned about San Francisco's history. My husband's grandparents (and great grandparents) lived in the North Beach area and I love watching the history channel. We thought we knew most everything there was to know; however our guide Nicole's knowledge far surpassed our own. I highly recommend this tour for both visitors and locals.

Terrific!

We got way more than our money's worth. Nicole was smart, nice and well-prepared. All four of us loved her! We learned so much about San Francisco, as well as enjoying some great java in interesting cafes. Highly recommend.
