Reviews
The trip was absolutely worth it. Entry to Alcatraz is done via QR code only. The tour includes a stop beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, which is perfect for photos. The schedule was well planned, with just the right amount of time at each stop. Muir Woods was truly magnificent.
had a lovely day trip out of SF city centre to Muir woofs and sausalito, ending off with Alcatraz tour. timing of the activities were spaced just nicely
this is a great tour to book to knock over all the main sights for san Fran. you stop at a fab little backdrop for the GG bridge at the beginning. highly recommend this for families or anyone really.
The guide (German bloke) was great and really informative. Muir Woods was closed due to federal shutdown which was disappointing but nothing we could do. Got an email that we were going to go to areas around Mt. Tamalpais. We went to this small park like with long trees, not much to walk around as there was a wedding setup and a kids playground. Bit of a disappointing alternate route, that part was not worth the money. Alcatraz was AMAZING tho, that is a definite MUST SEE!
The guide's kind explanations and the fantastic redwood forest were impressive, and it was a trip I'd like to take with my family again.
This is my unforgettable day trip in San Francisco. Having a tight schedule to catch, the 3 in 1 day trip allows me to see the nature, historic and scenic attraction places. I met a good companion from the trip and we enjoyed this trip very much.
It's a good tour, but they should increase the time spent in Muir Woods. The park is large, but it feels very short.
This tour was a fun and well-organized way to see Muir Woods, and Sausalito in one day. Our guide was hilarious and informative, making the experience even better. The sights were breathtaking and the overall experience was not bad!
This is a comprehensive activity for those who want to visit San Francisco and see all the highlights. It includes a city tour, Golden Gate Bridge, a boat cruise with scenic views, and storytelling.
Muir Woods is worth it, and you can actually go to Alcatraz on your own.
Good to know

Your driver will give you your Alcatraz tickets.
