Walking tours -- which one? Ghost hunt or Flower Power?

I%26#39;ve recently had surgery on my foot and therefore need to make a choice between these two walking tours. (Both woudl be too much for me)





They both intrigue us equally so we aren%26#39;t really leaning one way or the other.





Thanks for the advice!



Walking tours -- which one? Ghost hunt or Flower Power?


I%26#39;m not familiar with them (other than having heard from them). Are you looking at specific website to which you could point us?



This summer being the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love, I%26#39;d naturally lean toward Flower Power, sight unseen (so to speak), just for the sentimental value.



Walking tours -- which one? Ghost hunt or Flower Power?


First off, it looks like the Flower tour is in the daytime, while Ghost is at night. It looks like both will expose you to Victorian architecture (edge to Ghost). Both will have a bit of hills involved (nothing really difficult). One is about the history, while the other is about the lore. I%26#39;m probably partial to the history, since this is the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love. Perhaps you could do the Ghost, then visit Haight St (relatively flat) as well, armed with a book or two. Here%26#39;s one:

Perhaps others may have gone on these specific tours and can help you decide.




I am hoping to hear from anyone who has actually taken either one of these tours -- it would be really helpful.





Thanks for your input.




hi willowcrown





where did you find out about the flower power tour? that sounds good, is there a website for it please?

Try doing a search. Since you didn%26#39;t provide a url for the sites earlier, I couldn%26#39;t even tell if the tours you were talking about were the tours I%26#39;d heard of. There are many competing tours around here, being such a big tourist town, and often travelers ask about tours without being specific about the company offering it.




I haven%26#39;t done the tour (but I might this year) but I did get good reviews from some others who did it last year and I have been trying to find it in my notes here and it is the one you already have.
