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.

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).

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

Great way to explore San Francisco!

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.

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.

Delightful Tour of San Francisco

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.

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.

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!

Don't miss this tour if you are visiting SFC!
Sat, Apr 11  10:00 AM mahaloha Male 50-59 Combination Individual
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!

I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Javagirl was VERY knowledgable about the City and the little tidbits of history that one never gets in the school books....it was a beautiful day, the coffee houses were great, and the pace was relaxing. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a feel of the greatest City in the world...

Fantastic Tour
Tue, Jul 22, 08   10:00 AM joanna7 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.
