Kyle turned out to be a born storyteller. With knowledge, passion, warmth and humor he gave us an unforgettable walk through a very special part of San Francisco. We can highly recommend Kyle, his ukulele and his drawings to anyone looking for laughs and insights.

WOW! What a lucky find for us - we absolutely loved this tour. I would highly recommend taking a walk with this awesome storyteller - it sure beats the run of the mill cookie-cutter tour!! We covered just the right amount of ground and learned so much about San Francisco while also being entertained by Clyde's well-told stories! Clyde shared cool art and unique homes around the city as well as lots of interesting tidbits that I'm sure you wouldn't find on other tours. I would highly recommend booking in advance of your visit to be sure you don't miss this one! Thanks for a great time, Clyde!
