Start your exploration at the verdant expanse of Golden Gate Park, a serene prelude to the vibrant streets ahead, and conclude your adventure at the famed Hippie Temptation House, featured in a seminal 1967 documentary. As you wind through the streets, your path will be punctuated by the ornate Victorian homes known as the Painted Ladies, echoes of the hippie movement's desire for peace and love, and tributes to the legends of '60s rock. The diverse architecture, from Queen Anne to Tudor-style homes, sets the stage for stories of cultural revolutions. Starting from the lush surroundings of the park and ending at the doorstep of a house that witnessed the heady days of the hippie era, your route will immerse you in the spirit and turmoil of the 1960s. This audio tour promises an unforgettable experience, with each stop along the way offering a unique perspective on the district's transformation from an elite haven to the heartbeat of counterculture.
