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.

Brendan was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable! Had treats and water for us! Muir Woods was magical. Our pictures at Golden Gate are beautiful. Lunch in Sausalito was picturesque! The tour was worth every penny! - Maria G. New York

This was a great excursion.

Greg_S, Jul 2026
This was a great excursion. I wish we had done this instead of the Hop on Hop off bus, which we did the day before. Sully our driver/guide is excellent, has heaps of knowledge which we enjoyed and puts it across is a very friendly manner. The sites are great too, so we really recommend this.

Excellent Time!

Sean_H, Jun 2026
Great overview tour of SF city, Muir Woods, and Sausalito. Very knowledgeable guide - Sully. Timeline for day was a little tight. Could have used a little more slack in the schedule.

Sully is an amazing storyteller.

Karan_K, Jun 2026
The tour included far more sites and information than expected. Sully is an amazing storyteller and kept us enthralled with the history of San Francisco.

WANDA_K, Jun 2026
It was a wonderful tour to see the sights of the city before heading to GG bridge, Muir Woods and Sausalito. Our tour guide, Sully, was WONDERFUL! His knowledge about the history of the city, with his friendly personality, made this an extra-special tour.

Sarah_T, Jun 2026
Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Our trip to Alcatraz got cancelled, but the tour owner gave a refund for that. The tour guide took us to a few extra spots since that happened.

This was a great tour. I got so much history from this tour. I have been to San Francisco many times and yet I learned things I never knew. I saw places I have never been. A great tour with an amazing guide.

Christian_M, Jun 2026
The tour around San Francisco was basic. The admission to Muir Woods was not included in the fee. Alcatraz was great and very informative.

Awesome tour! Highly recommend.

Diane_B, Jun 2026
Our tour guide Alex totally made this tour! He checked in that am to be sure we knew how to contact him if needed if we couldn’t locate him, was SO kind, personable, genuine, helpful, engaged and SO knowledgable about the city! His communication was excellent! Lunch recommendations he made were awesome. We saw so much but never felt rushed! The mini bus was comfortable and he was an excellent driver on the winding, cliff lined roads! We did the add on tour of Alcatraz and would highly recommend it. A walking tour was offered once we arrived to Alcatraz for about 30 mins and the park guide was an amazing story teller. The audio tour included in the Alcatraz tour thru this booking was excellent and headsets were provided despite the Viator agent I contacted prior to our trip saying they were not and that your audio was via private cellphone which was not the case and I was glad. This was not the Viator agents fault. He actually called the Alcatraz venue on my behalf which I thought was above and beyond and was told incorrectly. Thank you Alex! Steve and I so enjoyed meeting you and the wealth of info you provided us!!! Keep up the great job!!!!

Nice way to spend a day

Good into to San Fran

LISA_B, May 2026
Great into to San Francisco. Our driver, Alex, was knowledgeable and kind. The trip seemed short with all of the different stops, but I feel like we got to see so many of the iconic San Francisco spots. I wish we had had a little more time at a few of them.

Tour was amazing! Alex...

Great Experience!!!

Jerry_C, May 2026
This experience was great. We covered everything on the itinerary and Sully, our driver and guide was very good articulating all the different stories at all the locations we went to. He was accommodating and also gave us recommendations and hints on how to hit the high spots at each location. Would definitely go back on tour with Sully again.

An absolute must in SF!

NATALYA_K, May 2026
If you only have one day in SF, go in this tour! Our guide Sully was incredibly organized, thoughtful and insightful. The whole narration was outstanding, thank you for putting the period music to highlight the experience. The tour was very well planned, we visited Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods and Sausalito and even made it to Alcatraz, all in one day. Thank you very much for the incredible tour!
