Wow. What an amazing experience. Not only is Kathy exceptionally knowledgable about the area and history, but she is an incredible guide and was able to convey the information clearly and in the most fascinating ways. We learned so much and are in awe of Kathy and her dedication to the community. Highly, highly, highly recommend

Learned a lot about SF LGBTQ+ history and culture while having a great time walking with small group of lovely folks. Kathy is a wonderful guide who shared her love for the neighborhood and community, as well as encouraging participants to share our knowledge as well. Great interactive, uplifting, and fun tour! My 13 year old and history teaching husband both loved it too!

I highly recommend taking the walking tour !! Kathy was the best tour guide providing so much detail and information about the Castro neighborhood and the history of the LBGTQ community there and how it all started. Kathy was beyond knowledgeable but also was so warm and welcoming with everyone in our 7 person private tour. I've always found the Castro such a beautiful and lively place, but I'm forever changed in the most amazing way with understanding more about Harvey Milk and all the other amazing brave people that paved the way in creating this incredible community !!
