Traveler reviews
Awesome!
Highly recommend booking this trip. Tour guide was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable about the city. Provided and recommended places at our stops. Polite and enter acted with each person on the tour.
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)
Worth the money.
Bring good walking shoes as you'll be getting your steps in. Dustin was great tour guide. Very informative and took us to an alternate spot to view the Golden Gate Bridge. Pablo was a little sus though. May need to take more meds.
Muir Woods is amazing!
Ben is a great guide! He shared tons of interesting information and showed us a fantastic tour! Highly recommend Muir Woods.
Great experience we got...
Great experience we got lucky and it was a clear day for a quick photo op at the golden gate and enough time to explore a portion of the Muir woods. The night tour at Alcatraz was great but if you travel with someone with ailments beware its a steep climb into the actual facility but they have golf cart attendants to assist the elderly or people with handicaps up the hill
