Doing what: Alcatraz and San Francisco City Tour
We only had a three days in San Francisco and this tour was definitely the best way for us to see just about everything the city has to offer. Many highlights but a couple of my favourites were Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Excellent value for the money. Tour bus drivers were very informative and prompt. Muir woods was everything I had expected. Alcatraz, was fascinating and worth another trip for the future. T. Diodati

The trip was superb! Unlike you might expect, the Alcatraz audio tour is very well recorded and indeed interesting. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and just great. I enjoyed all of it! it was a President day's weekend, a lot of traffic, but still, a fantastic day. Highly recommended!

A fantastic day! The Alcatraz audio tour was incredibly interesting, and really took you back into the prison days. The afternoon city tour covered all the key places in San Francisco, so was great for myself who had only a few days in the area. The tour guide was excellent, very informative.

The trip to Alcatraz was awesome. It had an audio tour that was like having your own private tour guide. Very well done!! A highlight of my trip! The sunset tour was also very nice.

My husband and I booked the tour for the second day of our 12-day stay in beautiful San Francisco in order to get acquainted with the city before we struck out on our own. Greg, our tour guide, was extremely professional, friendly and provided great information during the day. Alcatraz was so interesting, and we didn't realize we were going to Twin Peaks- thank you, Greg! He conducted the tour at a relaxed pace, and we sure covered a lot of ground ( and water) that day. We enthusiastically recommend this excursion, particularly for first-time visitors to San Francisco.

Even though I'm a local, I decided to go on this tour. I learned a lot of things I didn't know about San Francisco and really enjoyed getting over to Alcatraz. The audio tour on Alcatraz was one of the highlights - fascinating commentary!

Muir woods was beautiful-wish we would have had a little more time there. Our guide, Troy gave us great information about San Francisco and Muir Woods along the way. Alcatraz was fun as well.

The city tour was great. Greg the driver/guide was fantastic, so knowledgable and friendly. I visited San Fran 23 years ago and vowed to return (didn't think it would take so long)! The Alcatraz trip was also great, well organised and drama free. All in all a splendid day out, thanks

SF City tour was very pleasant! Our bus driver/tour guide had a lovely sense of humour and was very informative and entertaining throughout the trip as he took us to the city hotspots.
Alcatraz was just what anyone would expect - AMAZING!
