The walking is not for the faint of heart, walkways are very rough in many places. Fell twice on uneven surfaces. There is a sign stating this on entrance. Take the tram !,

James the driver was great! Very knowledgeable. The TV on the bus with the San Francisco documentaries were a bonus. Format of the day was also perfect

A fun experience. Driver James was very informative & kind. Would've liked to have a bit more time in Salsalita-- cute town, & couldn't really explore it. Otherwise trip was great!

Daniel_W

The tour was fantastic. James was very knowledgeable. The weather wasn't great but the day was still amazing and 100% worth it. James did everything to make the day as enjoyable as possible.

This tour is a must when visiting San Francisco. Our tour guide was amazing. Muir Woods was beautiful, Golden Gate Bridge was a must see and we learned a lot visiting Alcatraz. Very informative. My 11 year old son and I had a great time.

Family of 4 that decided to join the small group tour to visit the main sights of San Francisco with the guide James. Firstly Muir woods and wow, we all enjoyed the free time to walk around here, we managed to do the 3 bridges! Then on to the Golden Gate, which was illusive at first but cleared enough to get some photos, thanks to James for taking a family photo for us! Our last experience of the day was Alcatraz, which at first you felt a little like herded sheep, but once you got your headset and set off around the empty prison, you felt on your own and in your own experience. The only downside was the ammonia smell of the bird poo whenever out side. We would recommend this tour with James.

Priscila_M

Really nice tour! James is such a nice guy. Really organised and well explained instructions! Super recommend this tour!

Dorothy S

Wonderful experience! I HIGHLY recommend the trip! We got a little history of everything, complete with movie clips and trivia!

Kristina_S

This tour was the best way to experience the highlights of San Francisco! James was a wonderful tour guide and everything went so smoothly. I recommend booking the early tour to Muir Woods because it gets busy fast, we were able to experience the beauty before the crowds got there. Can’t beat front row service to the see the Golden Gate Bridge or get on the Alcatraz ferry! The van is equipped with a tv to show videos about the bridge and Alcatraz during the drive. He also surprised us with a drive by past the Mrs. Doubtfire house! I highly recommend this tour.
