Serena_C, Aug 2023

James was an excellent tour guide - helpful, fun and made the tour so much fun. He provided a great history on each site.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We loved having you join us!!

Highlight of my trip

Gina_C, Jul 2023

Highly recommended this tour. I found James’ tour by a Google search when I couldn’t get Alcatraz tickets for the only day I would be in San Francisco. I booked it and wasn’t sure what to expect. And let me tell you, James is awesome and this tour exceeded my expectations. Don’t think about it just book it.

Good Tour, Awesome Guide

Sheea_S, Oct 2022

Jason, our guide, was excellent! Great tour. The ride was smooth and he provided helpful context. Even took the time to return something we had forgotten.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

There was no way we were going to let you leave SF without your puzzle you bought!! Thank you for joining us! Both of you were a joy to have!!

Awesome day tour! We love it 🥰

Christine_A, Aug 2022

I highly recommend to book this one day tour at least one week in advance especially in summer months. I waited for 24 hrs to get my confirmation, but it’s worth it. You’ll have a great experience especially when you’re on time. Driver James is fun and very informative about the Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Saulsalito, and Muir Woods. Print out your QR code and follow instructions on your itinerary, so you’ll have an enjoyable tour. We had so much fun and I’ll use Viator again for my next tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you for this awesome review! Normally we send out your Alcatraz and meeting information two days prior but the Viator server was down that night resulting in a delay for most of our orders. We woke up super early the next day and worked super hard to get them out to you. We appreciate you so much!

Wonderful time

Gerald_K, Aug 2022

Driver James was excellent. His driving skills were fantastic. He shared alot of insight at every stop

Response from Host, Aug 2022

We loved having you!! Thank you for taking the time to let our family entertain yours!

James

Ron_D, Aug 2022

James was extremely accommodating. Worked with us on a tight time line. We fitted in Muir Woods, GG Bridge and a flight back to TX.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

We knew we could not disappoint your child ASH. We also wanted to make sure your father was taken care of. We hope you made it home safely!

Excellent tour

Michael_F, Aug 2022

Great tour, James was excellent and informative . Movies were nice . It would have been nice to have a bit more time in Sausalito and at Golden Gate Bridge, but I understand the tour time constraints

Response from Host, Aug 2022

And you were excellent guests! We appreciate you!

No worth

Meg_C, Jul 2022

This is an expensive but nothing impressive trip except Alcatraz. However, you can go to Alcatraz by buying cruise for about 50 dollars. In this trip, the tour guide will not go there with you anyway.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

The journey is what you make it! We provide Alcatraz Muir Woods and Sausalito. It appears you are unhappy with the town of Sausalito and are rating the city or the woods itself. It has no bearing on the actual tour itself. We operated this tour as stated and without and issues or flaws. You even tipped us and said what a great time you had. FYi guided tours by agents is not permitted on Alcatraz or at Muir Woods. You may be unhappy with that but rules are rules out of our control.

Very nice.

Blaine_J, May 2022

Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Alcatraz were all very nice. Driver James was knowledgeable. Enjoyed the day.

Response from Host, May 2022

You’re the best! Thank you for letting us be part of your SF memories!

Good but some issues . .

Jesse_Y, Apr 2022

I am the person who purchased trip so three of my friends could join. ..they had fun but this is my personal review 1.. Dont attempt humour that I am a .female . I'm man .my name's not Jessica. It's Jesse . I paid 600 for this trip.. not for bad insulting jokes. In front of my friends I invited.. no I wasnt the guest. 2. I see the faults. I couldake them great.. I only have time to maintain my company.. my friends really liked the driver so ill end my review here..

Response from Host, Apr 2022

We apologize for the confusion on your name. The driver asked "Who is the birthday trip for?" from a woman sitting next to another woman. She said "it was a gift for Jessie" to which the driver assumed was short for Jessica (the woman sitting next to her she looked at). He was unaware that it was for Jesse; a man. He did not know who was who on the trip as we verify using last names. The driver immediately excused himself once he was told who it was for. There was no intent to make a joke or to make fun of anyone. It was a awkward situation for anyone presented with the topic. We are so sorry you were offended but please excuse us as name of Jesse often can be ambiguous to male or female. We loved your group and had an amazing time with you! It is a shame your memory is of this one issue and not of the spectacular time we all had on this tour. The driver came back and mentioned how much fun he had with your guests in Sausalito!

Tour en bus

sol_G, Sept 2023

Hola muy desepcionada por qué he pagado porque he pagado por un tour en español. Y fue todo en inglés. Sólo en español fue lo de alcatraz. Y también para le recogida con el bus te mandan una dirección y llegaron 30 minutos tarde 😒😒😒😒

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Yes. This tour is only in English as stated well in advance. Alcatraz portion is in Spanish. This tour does not provide Spanish translators. Secondly; we were not 30 minutes late. You were actually 30 minutes early. You did not read your call time email which said arrive at the time we asked you. You just went at any time you pleased and thought this was acceptable! We then spent about 15 minutes parked in the white zone after your tour trying to help you access your Alcatraz vouchers even tho we asked you if you had them and you said "Si!". Adios!

Guía solo al ser Chofer

Rolando_D, Aug 2023

Llegamos a Muir Woods 7:30 am....el guía nos deja para que exploremos el bosque Muir Woods solos.....no.pide que lleguemos 8:50 al estacionamiento para trasladarnos a nuestro siguiente parada, pero no nos acompaña.en el bosque y no pudimos calcular el regreso a tiempo y se va y nos deja en el bosque....regresa 2 horas después por nosotros, y nos lleva solo para recoger al resto del Tour al Golden Gate, pero ya no pudimos bajarnos aquí, ni tampoco en Sausalito, nos.lleva al Muelle 23 donde ya contábamos con los Tickets para Alcatraz (y también te dejan solo)....lo Positivo del Tour fue la explicación que nos daba en el trayecto de cada zona que recorrimos. Lo negativo dejarnos solos en cada parada.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Gracias! We loved having you too! glad you had a good time with us! Sounds like you enjoyed Alcatraz!

Quisimos hacer Alcatraz,...

2710me, Jul 2023

Quisimos hacer Alcatraz, Muir Woods y Sausalito y nos lo anularon Sólo pudimos hacer Alcatraz Una pena

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Alcatraz was set aside for you. It operated as normal and you were able to do that portion. For Muir Woods; if a certain date has less than 4 people book we reach out to guests to ask them if they wish to do Muir Woods on another day, just do Alcatraz instead and refund the difference, or just cancel everything in full. We let our guests know this option days in advance and never leave them without Alcatraz. You asked us to just do the Alcatraz and refund the remainder of Muir Woods. Hardly a cancel on our parts!
