Pros:

Bottom line: if you’ve never taken this tour before, you MUST take it the next time you’re in the city. It’s a lot of fun to see on of the brightest neighborhoods in SF and you get to learn a lot too

Went on the tour with my boyfriend. We both looked through there tours together at there websites;
. It tells what tours they feature.
We went on a nice day. Tour meets at Harvey Milk Plaza, Castro rainbow flag when you enter /​exit the Muni street cars at 11am. This tour is 2 HOURS, Just letting you know.
If you haven’t went to the tours before, when you meet, you will have to sign up. Its FREE! Don’t worry, no need to pay or be in there newsletter. They just want to know your name and where your from. You can be local, they had several locals go to the tour too. They will then talk about the history, facts, and the things you didn’t notice that is relatively with the tour. New things you didn’t know. They will stop and go to different places.
From this tour, you would have to go up hills (yes, steep hills) that you will get into a gorgeous scenery. It’s a picture moment. Worth the walking hills they take you.
Good experience. We’ll go to other tours. We both had a good time.

On the second Sunday of each month, starting from Harvey Milk Plaza at 11:00am, this walking tour takes you on a stroll up, down, and around the Castro, with commentary explaining its roots as an Indian foraging ground, through its humble beginnings as a working-​class Irish neighborhood, to its evolution into a gay foraging ground. Hills and stairs are involved, so wear your sensible pumps. For some, the start time is an ungodly hour after Saturday night’s revelry (while others will be just getting home), but if you need an incentive, it’s absolutely free (although donations are accepted gladly).
