See San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Alcatraz in one busy day with a local guide, small group, and comfortable minibus.
“We enjoyed the tour but we were not informed of Muir Woods being closed until we boarded for the tour. Instead, our driver, who was great, drove us around to ransom spots (one of which we visited on our own the previous day) and a creepy alley was part of the tour (graffiti). He did his best but too bad they didn’t just take us all to Alcatraz or a place more interesting than all of the little odd places.”
See Muir Woods, Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz in one efficient San Francisco day trip with guided transport.
“Really enjoyed Alcatraz. Recommend any to do this tour. Muir Woods was lovely if you are a nature lover. I rate the woods tour 6/10 with Alcatraz 9/10. We also went to the town Sausalito which was lovely but it was a fill in tour.”
See Alcatraz, walk among ancient redwoods, cross the Golden Gate Bridge, and explore Sausalito on a small-group San Francisco day tour.
“We were a little uncertain about our tour when we learned about a government shutdown and then on top of that found out there would be rain on the day of our tour, but our tour guide was flexible and planned an alternate route for us (at our approval). She managed to enable us to see all that we wanted to see, as well adding in some unexpected stops that we really enjoyed! She was extremely knowledgeable and was warm and humorous and really made the entire experience exceptional!”

Review of Alcatraz by day or night with a separate San Francisco Bay cruise, practical tips, prices, timing, access, and honest value advice.
“Loved the Alcatraz tour. The bay tour wasn’t as great. For one thing about 30 people crowd the view so everyone else can’t really see anything. I don’t know what the tour people could do to change it because it’s not them it’s the other customers who are just not courteous at all. But I would definitely recommend the Alcatraz tour, not so much the bay tour.”
