Cruisin the Castro tour is a fun and inspiring way to spend a morning. It was our first time in San Francisco and I am so glad that we chose this tour. Kathy is a fantastic guide who provided an informative and fun insight into the Castro’s history and people. Great way to see the sights and witness the strong feeling of community that exists. Cannot recommend this tour more highly! Thank you Kathy

A very informative tour of a historic district of the city. Kathy did a great job of covering the history of the Castro district along with the importance of Harvey Milk's contribution to the LGBT movement. I would highly recommend this two hour tour.

This tour was superb - mainly due to the efforts of our guide, Kathy. Kathy brought a warmth, enthusiasm and such a depth of knowledge to this walk. The insight and history was harrowing at times but was always tinged with Kathy's positivity and hope. A real bonus to this tour is that everyone knows Kathy... waving and saying hello... Kinda backs up the closeness of the Castro! Keep your eyes peeled for 'Alan' who featured in the film Milk. What a great story he has if you're lucky enough to bump into him! I couldn't recommend this tour enough. Get yourself on it!!
