My tour guide, Ro, was super great! You could tell he loves San Francisco and the surrounding areas! Muir Woods, was amazing! Alcatraz was pretty cool, too, but because of Covid, we weren’t allowed to get into some buildings to get the whole experience. No tour guide provided either.

A must do trip
Cecelia

The tour is absolutely amazing. Our guide Rolando wish one of the best guides ever. So knowledgeable about the city, we saw so much. The only complaint it that the tour included a trip to Alcatraz island (phenomenal views) our car was left at the pickup spot which is different from the drop off location. That should have been explained when we got the tickets that those were separate events by different companies. We had to Uber back to our car after a long day of sightseeing it could have been handled better. The only sore spot the city tour and Muir Woods was great. We felt like we had plenty of time not rushing from place to place. It a great way to see the city for the first time or anytime.

We loved this tour. Our tour guide Aaron was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable and so much fun. Great driver and we learned a lot about San Fransico in one day. We were able to choose a restaurant on our own for lunch in the town and enjoyed some private time at certain spots. I highly recommend this for any age.
