We were visiting San Francisco for just a few days and were curios to find out more about LGBTQ history in the city, in particular the Castro district, so famous for queer culture. We met up easily with Kathy and the small group we would walk with and we were honestly blown away by the tour. Kathy is so passionate and knowledgeable about the history of the community we learnt so much. And being a small group we all got to share our own stories (the group members that day were from all over the world). Getting a chance to see a part of the original quilt from the AIDS epidemic, and many other significant sights, was quite moving. Highly recommend this tour to any visitor wanting to learn and grow as an individual! 10/10

Excellent tour. Really informative and emotional at times. Definitely worth it and would recommend to anyone wanting to learn about San Francisco’s LGBT history, dating back to the Gold Rush of the 1800’s!

Great tour of the Castro and all it's history! Kathy did an amazing job of bringing the history, culture and biology of the LGBTQ+ community. A very pleasant stroll through the neighborhood highlighted by Harvey Milk and other community contributions. Definitely recommend!
