Part history, part tall tales and baloney, but always entertaining and lots of fun!! Clyde's unique walking tour around the Mission, Castro and Duboce neighbourhoods served up Spanish-style churches, city views, painted ladies, uninhibited gentlemen, murals and much, much more. Take this tour - it's a memorable experience with a truly unique guide!!

This was a wonderful guided walk! Clyde is warm, engaging, entertaining and informative! He told stories, and even sang, as we walked through historic SF neighborhoods. We really enjoyed our walk with him and will be recommending this walking storytelling tour to all of our friends and family.
