Overview

If you want to see WHERE the Summer of Love took place (including the residences of folks like Charles Manson, Jim Jones, and Janis Joplin), WHY you can no longer be buried in San Francisco and experience WHO made Haight Ashbury one of San Francisco's most dangerous neighorhoods in the late 60's and early 70's- you'll want to join the next Hippie Haight Ashbury and True Crime Walking Tour. Equal parts history, architecture, and hauntings, we'll explore the underbelly of one of the most fascinating places on Earth. Your experience was designed by a sixth-generation San Franciscan who consulted numerous individuals, books, other tours and historical archives to put together this experience.
