Muir woods, sausalito, and alcatraz were all beautiful. I appreciate the fun facts of the tour guide and the trivias. had fun listening to him. 1hr in sausalito was quick. wish we couldve spent at least 2hrs but overall the tour was nice. suggestion would be to put in the itinerary details the pick up spot

The weather was so great that we could see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz very clearly. We thought the boat would dock at Alcatraz Island, but it didn't; however, it was actually nice because we got to see various other viewpoints in detail.

safety: All smooth. The tour was trully an experience worth remembering both Alcatraz and the cruise. itinerary: Expect more walking, wear your comfortable shoes. Prepare your QR codes and be 30 minutes ahead on time. attractions on route: For Alcatraz, Self guided tour is extraordinary. For the cruise better be early to choose best seats in the boat. service: Very good. value for money: Worth it. Free photos after the tour of the cruise.

Very good experience to cruise around the San Francisco Bay during Sunset. Have a closer look of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Angel Island.

Want to see the Golden Gate bridge up close? You will on this cruise! Audio has lots of good information on the bay, sites nearby, Alcatraz, and of course, the Golden Gate bridge. 1 hour cruise was worth the time and price. Lots of photo opportunities, it can get chilly, so be prepared. Drinks and snacks are available, and lots of indoor seating. Of course the best views are on the deck!

had a really great time. we went to such beautiful places and it was nice that we went to the highlights of Yosemite in just a day. the seat was comfortable, there’s wifi on board. our tour guide is approachable and gives lots of info and history while along the way.

comfy ride going around sf. if you are short on time and want an overview of all the key touristy places in san francisco this is a good tour to do so. there are some places that can’t bring you to such as the painted ladies as tour buses cant go there. thanks to michelle and judith for the nice tour.

It just so happened that I won a 99% off coupon in the matching numbers day sale, so the maximum discount of 3,000 yen was applied, allowing me to buy the tickets at a great price. San Francisco is compact with relatively few major attractions, so I think this pass covers pretty much everything you'd want to do there! By the way, I chose three activities: 1) Big Bus, 2) the California Academy of Sciences, and 3) the Walt Disney Family Museum. You don't really need #2. If you want to sightsee on a budget, you don't really need #1 either. If you buy an unlimited-ride pass using the MuniMobile app, you can ride all the cable cars, buses, streetcars, and subways in San Francisco, which is cheaper and much more convenient. The main appeal of #1 is simply sitting on the top deck of the tour bus and feeling the breeze as you cross the Golden Gate Bridge! That's really what it's all about (laughs). As for #3, Disney fans should definitely check it out! Ease of redemption: Easy Pass validity period: Please note that schedule changes are not allowed.
