A Pleasant Day near San Francisco

Our guide Judice was fantastic and shared a lot of history along the ride. Muir Woods was so gorgeous and peaceful. Sausalito was quaint. We loved the bridge views from Golden Gate. The Alcatraz portion was just ok.

Excellent experiences in San Francisco area

Very organized and easy to book. Trip up to Muir Woods was excellent. Our tour guide was so funny as well as providing us with info along the way. Sausalito was charming and had enough time to explore and relax. Returned to FW in plenty of time to catch ferry to Alcatraz. Was an audio guide there, run by the Park Service, and was a little underwhelming, but that part is not under trip control. Overall an excellent way to spend the day and have some iconic experiences.

Worth it!

This is a great tour! Anja was very informed and friendly. Make sure you dress appropriately and wear good shoes! By appropriate, you should likely add a layer for Alcatraz at night! It's also a long day but you do get breaks.
