Per was an amazing tour guide. He was super fun, interesting, patient, and funny. He definitely made the tour memorable. The hike and Muir Woods was beautiful. It was fun learning about the history of San Francisco. The Alcatraz trip was well worth the extra money. I definitely would recommend this trip and hope you get Per as your tour guide!

Great way to experience San Francisco and the surrounding area in less than a day. The drive through the city was interesting and informative, Muir Woods was beautiful, and Alcatraz and the Golden Gate were even better than expected.

Best tour of San Francisco

Jacinta_M, Mar 2026
This was by far the best tour we have been on during our holiday in the US. We loved that the tour included so much of what we wanted to see in San Francisco. Shoutout to our tour guide Brendan, he was awesome, such a character and he made our trip so much fun! SF Excursions should be the only company you choose to book a tour to see the main attractions San Francisco. If we could give it 10 stars we would!!

It was a fun trip. The entire time was enjoyable for the family. One thing to remember: if you have a national park pass, bring it along.

Mark_G, Mar 2026
Sully was an incredible guide and had a great tour with my 18 yr old daughter. Perfect blend of information, history, humor and the sites were worth it.

Awesome

Britton_R, Mar 2026
One of the best tours I have ever done. The guide (I think Brendan) was hilarious. The best thing about it is also what I'd warn people of: you will see A LOT. There are several stops, including some more than an hour. By the time you will A. feel like you get SanFran, and B. be exhausted. But that's how I like to travel, so you do you! Overall, it was amazing.

Stacey_W, Mar 2026
Our guide Sully was amazing, very knowledgeable and kept the tour lively. Wish we had a little more time in Sasolito to explore more of the small town. I would still recommend this tour it was well worth it 🙂!

Great All Around Experience

Excellent trip. Highly recommended

Layla_L, Mar 2026
Very enjoyable! Wear comfy clothes. Very pleasurable experience. Got to see and learn a lot about the city. Per was very knowledgeable and amusing. Would highly recommend.

Good tour but bring running shoes

Nicholas_G, Feb 2026
The tour was ok. Our tour guide sully was extremely knowledgeable about the city and Muir woods. Was somewhat standoffish with questions in a group but individually he was awesome. They should put Alcatraz first thing in the morning then do the rest or eliminate the city part. We stopped at palace of arts but didnt have time to actually look and appreciate it. The tour of the city is interesting and informative. The golden gate bridge part gives you enough time to go up by bridge, grab a picture and head back to bus. The Muir woods needed more time as well. I traveled with some much older people who couldn't cover the whole trail because we only had an hour and 15 minutes. I dont feel thats enough time to appreciate e erything and walk the entire thing. Not one person in our group had time to visit the gift shop after the walk. I know the guide is just trying to stick to schedule but this trip is definitely not designed for an older person that is slower.

Too Much

Dawn_C, Feb 2026
Alex, our tour guide, was great. However, the tour is rushed, i.e., too much in one tour to enjoy any of it.

San Francisco tour

Jeff_H, Feb 2026
The tour guide (Scully) was amazing. He knew the content and made the driving enjoyable. The scenes were outstanding! The only thing I wish I knew in advance was to bring our park pass with us for Muir Woods. Other than that, we loved it.

San Francisco must do!
