We really enjoyed this tour. Kathy gave us tons of great info and recommendations for places to eat/drink/visit. If you're at all interested in the history of the Castro District or gay rights, this is a must-do.

My family and I had an amazing time on the Cruisin' the Castro tour with Kathy. As a tour guide, Kathy was personable, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and made everyone feel at ease and engaged. We got a great overview of the story of Harvey Milk and the history of the Castro. We got to see parts of the incredibly moving AIDS quilt, and some incredible community art projects... This was a fabulous experience - I will recommend it to all future guests and friends in SF and beyond.
