Golden Gate Bridge Muir Woods Sausalito with Optional Alcatraz

Nicole_H, Jun 2026

Nice way to spend a day

This was a great tour. Sully was an awesome, informative guide. We were able to see some local sights while getting some SF city history. The bus was clean and very comfortable. The trip out to Muir Woods came with it's own history and information and even some music. We had a nice in Sausalito and, again, had some history and music at this so, as well. Highly recommend.

San Francisco: Golden Gate Bay Cruise (60 Minutes)

Courtney_T, Jun 2026

Great experience for a sunny, warm day

I got there a bit early so I was able to board first and get a standing spot at the bow of the boat. It wasn’t crowded and you can move freely around the boat but of course at the bow, people didn’t move too much but they are nice with creating space if you ask. The views were great. The boat barely goes on the west side of golden gate; it passes under so you get a quick view of the west side as it immediately turns around to head to Alcatraz. If you’re facing the bow, the best views are on the right side of the boat. And of course it’s windy but I went on a 70-75° day so I just needed to put on my scarf and the linen long sleeve shirt over my short sleeve was enough.

This would have to be one...

This would have to be one of the best tours I have ever done , so well organised , with our guide and driver ( Steven Schwenke) being incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in navigating the mountain roads. Nothing was left to chance, he knew all the best spots, even where to purchase lunch. Was just a wonderful day all round
