Haight Ashbury Walking Tour – SF’s Bohemian Past

Best Walking Tour of the Haight Ashbury by far
This was such a fun tour to do. Greg the guide just has the most amazing knowledge of the history and people of the Haight Ashbury. Enhanced by his own collection of old reels and interviews / these really add to the immersive experience. An easy walk for people of all ages and levels of fitness - Greg makes sure to take his time so everyone is comfortable and interacts - which really enhances the overall tour. Seeing the actual homes of the musicians and others and then having time to explore the Haight afterwards was priceless. A definite must do.

Absolutely loved this walking tour of the Haight Ashbury area of San Francisco! It was a pleasure to meet Greg since I had previously known him from listening to him on KFOG radio station. I knew I would be treated to a special tour with Greg as a guide. He brings a local's perspective of the area, and it was a terrific way to begin my stay in SF.If you have always wanted to visit Haight Ashbury, I highly recommend Greg's tour!

If you want to experience everything Disney, this is the place to go.
If you are as interested in Walt Disney and his story from childhood to the current day, do not miss this museum. It was probably the most bang for our buck of the many things that we did in San Francisco on our nine trip there. I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information, displays, and memorabilia that was present. I could have spent all day reading about Walt, his family, the parks, and the various enterprises and endeavors that he envisioned. See this museum!

You need to see the inside to appreciate the pink lady
Just looking outside is not enough. Going through the house is enlightening and impressive. I’ve been here so many times times and it was my first to see the inside. I recommend it to everyone. It will bring you back to the glory days of those days. George is full of enthusiasm
