We had a great day travelling across the Golden Gate Bridge , walking round the giant redwoods at Muir and a great lunch at Scoma’s in Sausalito . Then back to San fran for a tour around the city finally embarking to Alcatraz to top off a great day. Our guide Pear was excellent , informative and funny , certainly my type of humour. There was also a photographer on board who took free pictures during the trip ( thanks again for this). Definitely a great trip if your visiting San Fran

This was loads of fun. Our driver Joseph M. was outstanding. He had great stories to tell and made the trip so much fun. We started with a mini tour through San Francisco and then headed out to Muir Woods. Muir Woods was an ethereal experience. Walking amongst those trees and smelling the air was almost life altering. It really shifted my mental place into somewhere much more zen. The then headed over to Sausalito for lunch. We had lunch at a little Mexican place which we really enjoyed. Then it was back on the bus for the trip back to SF. Joe took us on a little side trip up to the top of the mountain overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and let us out for a couple of minutes for some pictures. It was a great view as the fog had finally started to clear. Then it was off to Alcatraz. Alcatraz started with a brutal climb up the hill to get to the cell block. I won’t lie, it was a beautiful view, but wow it was a long way up there. The cell block tour was very informative. The place was a little oppressive, but it was a prison. Overall, it was a great day made even better by our guide who gave out granola bars as rewards for games we played and made us laugh all day.

Loved Muir Woods and our guide, Per (not sure on spelling, but pronounced Pear), was great. He was knowledgeable and quick witted! Saw many sights in San Francisco that we would not have seen without his expertise.

Kathleen_B

Loved Dylans tour, our tour Joseph M was fun, knowledgable. He gave everyone places to see and restaurant to try while visiting the city.

Michael_P

Seeing the jail cells was the best part, but the audio self tour was great, too. However, so much more of the island should be available for touring as well, like the fort, hospital, work areas and staff living quarters.

Leena_P

Had an excellent day Jake the tour guide was great, knowledgeable and helpful Would highly recommend the tour as a great day and get to see SF and learn all the facts

Beatriz_A

We had an incredible experience. Mark, our tour guide was AMAZING!! He was very knowledgeable, fun and entertaining. We learned so much about San Francisco, Sausalito and Alcatraz. We highly recommend this tour.

Regis_S

We were able to see so much in one day Our guide was very thorough and knowledgeable Would highly recommend

Sally_B

Mark out your guide was excellent, knowledgable, fun and friendly. He did a music quiz from Muir Woods to Sausalito which was fun and helped pass the time. Muir Woods was stunning and we had a fantastic lunch in Sausalito at a restaurant called Napa Valley Burgers followed by ice cream from Lapperts. Both recommended by Mark. Added bonus was a stop off at the Golden Gate bridge for photos (shame about the fog!) we were dropped off at the Alcatraz Ferry Port with plenty of time to spend the afternoon on the island. Great value tour. Would highly recommend. Only thing I would say is that the entry to Muir Woods isn't included (it's $15)
