Wonderful experience and well worth the money - Our tour guide Dylan was friendly, funny and informative. Visiting Alcatraz is a must if visiting SF for the first time. It exceeded our expectations Muir woods was beautiful and 1.5 hours to walk around was the perfect amount of time. Dylan stopped us next to the Golden Gate Bridge where we were able to experience its beauty and take amazing pictures

Such a great tour for first timers to SF - We had a great time on the tour! Our guide, Pear was excellent!! He was a great source of knowledge, humorous and we particularly loved the local tips he gave at the end! I will be recommending first timers to SF do the tour as it is a great introduction and sets you up well to see lots of things you didn’t know were even worth seeing!

San Francisco sites - Had a great time and would recommend it to all. Great overview of city, key historical events, and city sites. Muir Woods was spectacular. Mark was a great tour guide and the SF music tied to Sausalito was special. I recommend distributing tickets to Alcatraz island folks prior to arriving at the port to make the transition more efficient.
