Michael really didn’t know much about Castro and The Mission. It would have been more informative for us to have walked on our own, using our phones. It was a terribly disappointing “tour”. It really wasn’t a tour. It was simply a walk with a local guy. We speculated together about all that we saw. Viator/ WithLocals should ensure that its guides have something to say during their tours. The Ghost Tour we took through Viator was much better. There is no comparison. I feel like this “tour” simply took my money. Note: We received a partial refund, which is better than no refund at all. But, I cannot recommend this tour with the same guide. Save your valuable time for something else.

Met Michael in front of Alamo Square Cafe. We then began our walk-First stop Painted Ladies. We then began our walk around Castro and Mission District. Ended on Clarion Way with the painted murals and ended up at Taqueria for a Burrito. (Delicious) Michael was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Long walk. Wear comfortable shoes.
