Doing what: Alcatraz and San Francisco City Tour
What a great way to see the city on the city tour. We have a great bus and bus driver. Alcatraz was breath taking. If you are visiting San Francisco and don't have a lot of time this is the way you want to go.

Wonderful tour notwithstanding uncooperative weather. Our tour guide, Aaron, was incredibly knowledgeable, super-friendly, and funny. He made our day and this tour was our favorite part of our SF trip.

Excellent tour and good value.Best way to see all San Francisco in a couple of days and the buses come round every 20 mins so you can make your own plans and not waste time waiting for the next bus. The Alcatraz tour was so interesting and enjoyable.

The tour was great. Our bus driver/tour guide, Greg, was just the best. We had a really great tour. My one issue is that for the Alcatraz part of the tour in the afternoon we had tickets for the 2:50 pm boat. By the time we arrived on the island and got started with the audio tour, it didn't leave us sufficient time to really see everything before we had to head back to the mainland to get the bus back to our hotel. So, we cut our visit to Alcatraz short and got back in time for the bus. Trying to give your clients earlier tickets for the boat would have been nice. Despite that, we had a great time and will use Viator again.

Alcatraz in the morning - great history lesson - well organized tour. Excellent tour.
In the afternoon it was Muir woods and Sausalito, peace and quiet of the woods to the charm of the Sausalito. Overall a magic day - an essential tour when in San Francisco.

Great if you haven't been before, the city tour was great to orientate before you go it alone.
