Nice guide. Comfortable ride. GG just has a restroom break near Marin Point end . Not really a photo opp.

So fun, informative, and incredibly beautiful sights! Well worth it if you want to see a ton of highlights in a day. Anja our tour guide was incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable- highly recommend!

Alcatraz tour exceptional. Easy to navigate.
The Muir wood tour and Sausalito was great also. However we felt we didn’t have enough time in Sausalito. A quick coffee and it was time to get back on Sprinter again. Wish we could have explored this beautiful area for at least an extra hour. Robert our guide was knowledgable, and efficient however we found there were too many requests for tips for himself throughout the tour. Also the large sign in Sprinter hinting at maximum tip being the norm was off putting.
Overall we enjoyed the trip very much.

Muir Woods was fantastic as was the Alcatraz tour. I wish there had been more time than an hour for Sausalito (time was only enough to grab lunch at a downtown restaurant- needed an additional 30 minutes to walk around the marina and shops).

Tour went exactly as described. Great tour, Anja was phenomenal as our tour guide. I would highly recommend this experience.

Dustin was wonderful on our tour today! He was knowledgeable about the SF area, humorous, which I appreciate and a very safe driver, which my husband appreciated. He also was willing to stop at the Golden Gate Bridge so we could get pictures!! Five stars for Dustin!!
Renee_A, Jun 2026
Our guide Anja was amazing. She drove super cautious and we always felt safe. She was also very informative.

Great tour and efficient tour especially if you’re short on time in San Francisco! Would recommend because you end up seeing 3 places. Keep in mind that you do Alcatraz by yourself
Serina_M, Jun 2026
Our driver was amazing and super helpful. She went out of her way to give advice and always checked to ensure our comfort.
Nick_N, Jun 2026
Lots of fun, and friendly knowledgeable tour guide. Muir Woods and Alcatraz is a must see. Kat did a great job!
Chris_E, Jun 2026
Our tour guide, German guy, forgot his name was amazing. Charming and funny and so knowledgeable about SF history. Very easy going pace and we were able to cover Sausalito, red woods, pics by golden gate, and a drop off at Alcatraz pier. My 10 yr old son loved it.
Allen_J, Jun 2026
Easy to navigate. Alcatraz was great. No hassles getting on the ferry. Instructions were clear. We enjoyed the Sprinter ride to Muir and Sausalito.
Wendy_Z, Jun 2026
We were at Muir Woods early and it was awesome. Not crowded felt like we had the place to ourselves. Ben was a great tour guide. Gave great recommendations for lunch in Sausalito
Janis_V, Jun 2026
Loved it all, but especially Muir Woods! Salsalito was very peaceful and quaint. Alcatraz was very informative tour. Redwoods in Muir Woods were awesome.
Megan_A, May 2026
Alcatraz was surreal, educational, and incredibly interesting. The audio tour, narrated by former guards and inmates, really brought the prison’s history to life. Learning about the Indian occupation was powerful, and the views and gardens were beautiful.
Muir Woods was peaceful and breathtaking, with majestic redwoods and calming trails, while Sausalito was a charming seaside town. Our tour guide was informative, friendly, funny, and made the entire experience unforgettable. 10/10!
Christina_B, May 2026
Great experience and value! Our tour guide Annia was fantastic! Alcatraz was super interesting. Muir Woods and Sausalito were magical!
ELIZABETH_H, May 2026
Interesting history but a little overrated. Be prepared for some strenuous hill climbing and uneven surfaces. The flowers were beautiful.
Pilar_s, May 2026
Excellent service. Love the visit to Alcatraz. Tour to Sausalito was great..Driver was very kind and funny.
Jodi_M, May 2026
Amazing! Knowledgable tour guide! Better than I ever expected. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
MaryAnn_T, May 2026
The road to Muir Woods is very twisty so car sickness could be an issue. Van was comfortable and the driver was great. Only an hour in Sausilito which I would have preferred longer.
Davinia_H, May 2026
Really good excursion, tour guide was great and very knowledgable, saw the sights of SF and Alcatraz is a must if you're visiting the City.
Raghavan_A, May 2026
Well planned trip with relaxing visits to Muir woods and Sausalito and a brief tour of the city. The tour guide was very engaging.
Jonathan_D, May 2026
Great tour, Robert was knowledgeable and friendly, cranked through a lot in a relatively short time.
Paul_H, May 2026
This is not the fault of the tour, but the San Francisco port authorities would not let us off the ship at the normal time. This meant we were late to the pick up point by 6 minutes. The tour left without us, even though we tried every way to get hold of them. When we asked if we could join them at the next point on the trip, we were advised that it would not be possible, and we would have to go to the third point. This cost us $90 extra in cab fares. We did eventually join the tour, and was told they had to go because it was such a tight schedule. Funnily enough, at this stop some German people were 3 minutes late, and the German tour guide waited for them! Also the minibus was cramped and uncomfortable, and the guides microphone was useless (unless you was in the first row of seating). The rest of the tour was OK, but in hindsight, you'd be better off just ubering everywhere. Would probably be cheaper too.

Great Tour Guide! Double Check the departure time for your ferry as it may vary from the actual time you booked it.
My tour officially stated at 10:35 but I had a ferry ticket for 9:20…
Shannon_P, May 2026
Was fun and organized. Van guide was really nice and entertaining. Very knowledgeable about the area.
Calli_C, May 2026
I did Alcatraz first and then Muir Woods. It was literally the perfect day. Our tour guide, Dustin, was so kind and knew a lot about the city. The van was really comfortable and we had adequate time at each stop. I would definitely recommend the tour I did to anyone who isn’t visiting San Francisco for a super long time and wants to see a few things in one day!
Jeffrey_A, Apr 2026
Lots of walking but worth it! Our guide Robert was great! Knowledgeable, funny and made it a great experience!
shane_h, Apr 2026
I start by saying that our tour guide was great. He was informative, has a great attitude and very funny. The issue is not on his side. Communication was terrible. We knew how to get on the first leg of the trip but no clue where or when to get the van to continue our tour. I texted, emailed and called. So we just stood in front of pier 33 for over an hour and a half waiting. Finally the van showed up. At the Muir Woods we had to buy tickets for entrance even though they were included in the package. None were supplied and phones don’t work. More communication is definitely needed by this company.
