“SK welcomes you with gifts, gives a little speech about the tour and go ! SK is a human Wikipedia of San Francisco, he knows everything, he's funny and will give you advice on many things to do! The tour is well done, not too short, not too long and, of course, interesting. Definitely not lousy !”
