Great sightseeing - Great fun with lots of unique things to see. The best were all the sea lions basking in the sun. This area is clean and offers unique sites.

Nice morning tour/reasonably priced - Robert was a wealth of knowledge about the history and current trends in the Wharf area. This is an easy and enjoyable walking tour. It did seem short compared to some other walking tours but Robert shared a lot of information.

The best Alcatraz Tour prelude - Jamie’s communication skills and knowledge were first rate. He was extremely personable and entertaining. I definitely recommend this tour as a prelude to your Alcatraz visit.

Great walking tour at fisherman’s wharf - Very kind and smart Guide who knows so much and had an superb way to transmit it. He showed us the must sees in this area but the background information and the way he was bringing it to the group was really great.

It was ok - I thought the tour was alright, so so. While it wasn’t the best I’ve ever experienced, it wasn’t the worst either. For my first visit to the Wharf in San Francisco, I appreciated having the tour, but I’m not sure it was entirely necessary, as the sites were mostly within easy walking distance of each other. I might have been able to follow a similar itinerary on my own. There were a few interesting or funny moments, but I found myself getting bored and distracted at times. Given the price, it might be worth it, but there could be better tours available, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this one as a “must-do.” The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, but I didn’t feel very engaged throughout the tour.

A good intro to Fisherman's Wharf - I was interested in the history of the city and heard a good amount of information and saw some things that I probably would have missed by myself.

Not a good situation - Was given the wrong pick up info. Was there early and finally guide called to as where we were. At the wrong place. Told me such way to go and meet the group into the tour. Seri was confused and after a lot of walking I called guide x2 and he didn’t answer . I gave up, then he called and I told him forget it. I have NEvEr missed a tour. NO REFund of any kind! Boooo hisss
