The city tour was very informative and picturesque, Alcatraz was a must see especially with the audio
This was an incredible day. Great if you havnt got a lot of time and you want to see a lot. Alcatraz was fascinating but be warned, wear something warm, even if it's a nice day! You get a really good tour around the different parts of San Francisco, a couple of tops to get out and Akers photos. There is about an hours break for lunch before Alcatraz but not many places to eat without walking far so you might want to take a snack with you if you.
This tour was great!! Everything went flawlessly. Our guide was the best, he knew everything about everything and was very nice! Great smaller size bus with good ac for after walking around in the summer heat. Alcatraz was something not to be missed. Well worth the heafty price tag for ths tour.
A great introduction to San Fran. Saw all the important tourist sites. Loved Alcatraz. The US Park Service does an outstanding job making Alcatraz a memorable experience.
wow excellent tour our guide was great we had a great time alcatraz is a must see the muir woods was a blast
The Alcatraz and San Francisco City Tour was great. We had a great konwledgeable bus driver, wonderful weather and got to see all the wonderful sites of San Francisco. Thanks so much. I will definately use Viator again.
We enjoyed this multi-tour very much. The bus tour of San Francisco was great. It allowed us to svisit many of the places on our list with ease. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and had just the right amount of humor. we visited the Japanese Tea Gardens with time to walk the whole garden quickly, the Golden Gate Bridge with a stop for great photos, China Town and maybe 8 more places. I would recommend this tour. The part that went to Alcatraz was excellent. The short ride over on the ferry gave us lots of opportunity to view the city, Angel Island and other places we wouldn't have seen. After arriving at Alcatraz we had a good guided tour of the infamous facility. Not too long and not too short. The trip over to Sausiolito was again a short ferry and lovely. We had "free time" to choose a lunch spot and have an hour for lunch. We hurried over to the burger place on the waterfront and thought we made a good choice. All together, my husband and I agree that it was worth the time and money - a good recommendation from us!
Great tour, very informative driver. Saw a lot of San Fransisco in the time. Alcatraz a must to see, absolutely awesome. Totally recommend this tour
Good overall trip around the city and useful to get an overview. Great visit around Alcatraz. Picked up on time and guide very informative.
Absolute best! Kenneth was an excellent guide. Great way to see the city. Alcatraz is a must see!
TOUR OF ALCATRAZ WAS INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE. ALL TOUR BUS DRIVERS WERE VERY UPBEAT, COURTEOUS AND A PLEASURE TO HAVE MET. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY.
Excellent, needs more clearer directions on the details regarding pick of the Alcatraz tickets. Very cold.
had a good day out thoroughly enjoyed the woods and had a great lunch in sausalito.
our trip to alcatraz was amazing and we very impressed with the ease of it all.
Enjoyed our tour of Muir Woods in the middle of April - not crowded at all and it gave an aura of peace and tranquility. It really is something you need to do if you enjoy the beauty and awe of the redwoods.
Our trip to Sausilito had only enough time for either lunch or a quick look around and because it was lunch time we opted to eat. Found a great hole in the wall that had a hidden outdoor patio that served the best fresh roast beef sandwiches(on a wonderful fresh homemade roll) you could ask for. My husband and I should have shared just one as we couldn't eat the whole sandwich. Friendly staff as well.
Alcatraz was very interesting and the audio supplied gave you a good historical overview with clear sound. It was more than just a prison with families living there as well with flower and vegetable gardens.
The tour bus picked you up at your hotel or a hotel close to where you were staying (for us a VRBO) and dropped you off at the same spot although we elected to stay on Alcatraz somewhat longer and made our own way back to our lodgings. Driver was friendly, gave good clear instructions and information on sites we were passing. Would have rated it a 5 except for the time restraint of 1 hr in Sausilito. It did give us a taste of the town though and we went back on our own. Was well organized and would certainly recommend it.
A great tour of San Fran city and Alcatraz. Highly recommended to get a feel for the city.
