Three very informative hours with a most pleasant guide. The areas historical insights dating back to 1850 were quite something. As usual, things are more complex than ofttimes projected

This tour was awesome, Cathy knows the Castro area so well, and the tour was informative and very moving. I would recommend every gay person visiting San Francisco to take the tour. If you are straight you will get a lot from it also
Thank you Cathy
One of the highlights of the week.

This was a wonderful tour! Kathy, the tour guide,
was simply delightful. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the Castro and it was interesting to learn all about this neighborhood. If you are interested in learning about LGBTQ history, struggles, and successes, as well as getting a feel for the Castro neighborhood, this is the perfect tour.

Wow - this really is the gay capital of the world. My eyes are still smarting from all the nakedness and men kissing. Wow.

This was a truly worthwhile activity. I learned so much about the history of the people and the area and the guide was just a hoot, with great anecdotes and the break at the pastry shop (Hot Cookie) was to die for.

We absolutely loved this tour. Kathy was an amazing guide and she taught us so much about Castro. We are so glad we decided to do this tour because we learned things we would have never known had we just gone and visiting the Castro on our own. We also appreciated Kathy paying for us to go into a museum at the end of the tour. This tour ended up being one of our favorite parts of our San Francisco trip!
