Muir Woods is beautiful. The lunch stop in Sausalito is super fun. Gives you a great feel for the town. Lots of great information offered by guide. Photo opportunity at bridge were really nice. Alcatraz add on was worth it. Both my husband and I enjoyed the day.

Overview of San Francisco for the time poor

Marianne_H, May 2026
You will get to see a quick glimpse of most San Francisco attractions. The guide was entertaining, gave clear narrations and instructions and made the experience fun. The transport was clean and well maintained.

Omg amazing San Fran

Maria_C, May 2026
OMG ehat an excursion. Travelled the world done lots of great excursions with amazing tour guides but this was amazing. Tour guide and Cece the dog gave us an amazing experience of San Fran, Muirhead woods and saulsalito. So informative, great fun and we knew the same places in North Wales! Would absolutely do again and again and recommend. Thanks so much.

Great day all over town

Megan_H, Apr 2026
Brendan was an awesome guide! Very knowledgeable and funny. Muir Woods was very peaceful and we had a great lunch in Sausalito.

Worth Every Penny!

Vella_S, Apr 2026
Although the Alcatraz portion of the tour was canceled due to an emergency, the tour was still wonderful and I was issued a partial refund. Brendon is the owner and tour guide of San Francisco Tours, and he did a wonderful job. He was very informative about the city, he interspersed the narrative with personal experiences, he made recommendations of places to visit, and CiCi (his dog) was a crowd pleaser! I usually tour with the Hop On Hop Off bus when I visit different cities, but I'm so glad that I switched it up this time. We saw most places that the other bus visits, and had the benefit of Brendan.

Beautiful SF Sights

Nikki_M, Apr 2026
Beautiful day getting to see all the sights in and around SF. Muir Woods was stunning and enjoyed our lunch in Salsalito. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made our day fun.

best way to spend the day!

Nicki_M, Apr 2026
Absolutely the best way to spend the day! My husband and i did not want the hassle or expense of renting a car and trying to navigate the sights. Not only was this tour the perfect way to hit the SF highlights as well as Muir Woods, Sausalito and Alcatraz- Alex, our tour guide, was phenomenal! He is so kind and knowledgeable and such a gracious host - we cannot recommend this tour enough! thank you SF Excursions and Alex!!

Wonderful!

Tia_P, Apr 2026
Absolutely fantastic! The driver shared a lot of knowledge about San Fransisco. Beautiful day! The Muir Woods was serene. Had a stunning 2 mile hike though the woods. Would have loved an extra 30 minutes in Sausalito but had a wonderful lunch at the Spinnaker. Highly recommend!

fabulous tour

wendy_m, Apr 2026
Excellent brilliant four guide Brendan looked after us all Made the tour very enjoyable Would thoroughly recommend to all

Great tour guide very informative

MariaElena_G, Apr 2026
Even if you have been to San Francisco I recommend you take this tour with the same tour guide. He was very informative and now I know more about s Francisco more then ever

Lots to see but not enough stops

Cassandra_R, Apr 2026
Overall the tour was pretty good, although I felt like it did not have enough stops along the way. When it says you pass by you literally pass by at full speed, not enough time to take a picture or even see the sight if you're not paying close attention. Our tour guides name was Alex, and he was lovely and full of so much knowledge and history. Unfortunately our tour landed on one of the rainiest days I have ever encountered in California, when we got to Muir woods we were drenched, socks, shoes, clothes, and then we had to sit in wet clothes for another 3 hours. So don't be like us and plan ahead if it shows rain bring an extra set of clothing. There is also not enough time in Sausalito you can sit and have lunch and that's it time to get back on the bus. Alcatraz is at the very end of the day and trust me by the end of the day you will be tired, I recommend to do Alcatraz separately on a different day because of this. Just this one day my husband and I walked over 6 miles, between Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Alcatraz. We were too tired for dinner and literally had to DoorDash that night ha-ha.

Wonderful tour, even with rain

Kari_L, Apr 2026
Alex was superb! The bus was adequately comfortable. Snacks & water was nice. Plenty of restrooms available at stops. If rain is in the forecast, definitely bring an umbrella and comfortable shoes you can get wet.
