Kathy - cannot thank you enough!
It was a totally fabulous walking tour all round. Brilliant!
Kathy, our guide, was really funny, informative and passionate about her subject. She was charming and interested in every member of the group. She also gave us space to ask questions, encouraging everyone in a way that was warm and inclusive. I also loved the way that she checked that my (16 year old) son would not be offended by anything discussed or seen. (He never wouldn’t be!). So again, thank you Kathy. A total pleasure.
The walk itself was interesting and provided us with different areas and places to look at. The information was poignant, humorous and challenging in different measure. We saw both well known and more obscure places, all of which built a picture of both the struggles and the joys of living in The Castro. It also felt very welcoming and warm.
I can not recommend the tour enough. Go, take friends, enjoy and then recommend to others.
As an extra, we travelled up to The Castro on the Muni tram - which added to the experience.
