Holy (b)aloney - Meet a legend in the making who is making some legends.  Don't wait on this! Once word gets out, I don't doubt that this will be a difficult ticket to book.  Before you know it there will be all sorts of knock-off tours with other singing guides. Don't wait.  Do this one. Walk with the one & only original ukele man Clyde Always!  He takes you back in time through "Frisco" history.  (Uh oh! I've done it now!) Learn how I've just brought unholy calamity upon myself,  and many more tales from San Francisco then & now in this fun & easy 2 hour waking tour through the Mission, Castro,  and Duboce Triangle.  I've done many walking tours in many cities  & I've also done other tours in San Francisco - but this is one of the best & most entertaining I have ever enjoyed.  I had a smile on my face the entire time.  Also I got so many great photos of things I would never have found on my own. Such a fun time!

A must to experience - This event was one of my all-time favorite experiences in the Bay Area. Clyde has a passion for performance and history. He combines the two in a tour through a beautiful section of the city that's rich in culture and history. He is a true storyteller! Clyde’s knowledge of San Francisco and the state of California will far exceed your expectations. His creativity and silliness makes his stories fun and engaging. Suitable for all ages. Whether you're visiting San Francisco for the first time or born and raised you will find an appreciation for this event.
