Not your typical tour, it's so much more!!
katkH5120KE, Feb 2026
This is a must attend tour! Clyde took us on a fun, whacky and whimsical tour of the city. The musical interludes were a real highlight interwoven with facts and stories about the city. I really appreciated the flow of the tour, lots of time to stop and absorb and also questions! Clyde is very knowledgeable and also gave great recommendations for things to do and food recs for after the tour! Will recommend to my friends visiting the city next month!
A Walk to Remember

From Hot Cookies to Hunky Jesus we took a journey through time while exploring the Golden City. Clyde is the cherry to our hot fudge sundae and we want seconds. Thank you Clyde for such a fun afternoon - highly recommended!
Even though I have lived...

Even though I have lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years, Clyde showed us places I’ve never been to, and stories I had never heard. Just the right amount of walking, and humor, and music!
Happy customers!

If you want to hear tall tales mixed with historical accuracy, Clyde is your man. His stories awaken the senses and transport you back in time. We loved the funny songs, restaurant recommendations, and he gives you lots of hidden gems to visit on your next adventure to the city.
