This ain't your typical walking tour. This is The Real San Francisco, as presented by Clyde Always, the Bard of Bay City. Hold on to your hats, as Clyde leads you through a maze of colorful settings, each lending itself to be the backdrop of one of his signature, all-American, all-original TALL TALES. International audiences have delighted in these wild narratives, some written in comic verse a la Shel Silverstein, others told more like something from the pages of the Brothers Grimm. A word to the wary: in spite of Clyde's infinite charm, his monologues may contain the errant swear word--nothing too vulgar--but may the faint of heart be warned. The route was carefully planned out by the host, himself. It requires no hill climbing and minimal exertion. Best of all, it includes portions of three very popular neighborhoods: the Mission, the Castro and the Haight. This tour is sure to enthrall and uplift all who care to come along.
