As long as you know what you are getting into, this is a great tour! It is history with some funny stories and tales sprinkled in. We hit the major spots in Mission, Castro, and Lower Haight districts, all without major hills. Clyde was knowledgeable and made sure I was enjoying the tour. Lots to pack in 2 hours!

This novel experience is designed to delight, and it did not disappoint. Walking around beautiful neighborhoods, listening to the historical stories, songs, poems, fables and other tall tales, created and performed by Clyde Always, was a hoot! It’s like a clever, silly, funny, highly engaging one-man-show but with exercise and beautiful views. A modern vaudeville-esque experience. I would recommend this to anyone who asks for something fun and unique to do in SF!! Can’t wait to go back to the recommended restaurants, bakeries and shops!!

Clyde did a great job of conveying the spirit of each of the neighborhoods we explored. He has a quirky style of reciting poems and singing songs. The time passed quickly.
