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.

Surprising Events

The combination of Alcatraz - Muir Woods and Sausalito is good. When paying for this tour one would expect all is included , so we were bit surprised that entry fee was still to be paid at arrival Muir. Staying at parking lot is obviously not what we came for so no other option than pay if you want to see Muir. But surely worth it ! Sausalito is a little coast village with some shops , nice , cute but you don't need much time there. Splendid view while eating your ice-cream ;)) Alcatraz night tour nothing to complain about , nice and helpfull staff with very clear info. A place must see . Bring a sweater because might get cold and windy on the island. We were not very lucky with guide Brian who seemed to be more interested in financial status of people living around and prices of houses than providing info about the stops we were to visit. Very very little on those. We were completely taken aback when we witnessed his “tip” hunt. He is not satisfied with what he gets and asks for more in a rude and cheeky manner. Truly unheard of and inappropriate! He was already late for pickup and made the group wait a while longer to witness this scene. If he worked in the EU, he would be fired immediately. At the same time, we would like to mention that the lady at the office was very friendly and helpful. She deserves a raise! (and makes it worth booking with Must See after all)
