THE WINCHESTER HOUSE WAS AMAZING, BUT THE TOUR WAS LESS THAN AMAZING. THE GUIDE DID NOT TELL ANYTHING ABOUT THE "MYSTERY" PART OF IT. THAT IS THE REALLY INTERESTING STUFF. HER VOICE AND PRESENTATION WAS NOT GOOD, KINDA MADE IT A STRUGGLE. ACTED LIKE WE WERE KINDERGARTENERS. REALLY WANTED TO HEAR THE GHOST STORIES I HAD HEARD WHEN I WAS A CHILD....55 YEARS AGO. DISAPOINTING. THE GUN MUSEUM WAS WONDERFUL!!!! THE RIDE WAS WAY LONGER THAN I HAD ANTICIPATED. GOOD DRIVER, JUST A LONG TIME DRIVING IN THE RAIN. AT THE GIFT SHOP I ASKED FOR SOME KIND OF BOOK OR SOMETHING WITH THE OLD GHOST STORIES IN IT, BUT NOTHING WAS THERE AND THE CLERK LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS NUTS. O'WELL, THE HOUSE ITSELF WAS GOOD AND I JUST ADDED WHAT I COULD REMEMBER TO SHARE WITH MY SON. OUR GUIDE DID TELL US THAT IF WE CAME BACK FROM ALASKA FOR HALLOWEEN, THEY WOULD TELL THE "MYSTERY" STORIES THEN.

THE HELICOPTER TOUR WAS WONDERFUL. NEVER BEEN IN ONE OF THOSE THINGS BEFORE. IT WAS RAINING, SO THAT DID COMPLICATE A LOT OF THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM, BUT THE TOUR WAS GOOD. OFCOURSE WE COULD NOT SEE AS MUCH AS WE COULD HAVE SEEN ON A CLEAR DAY, BUT NO ONE IS IN CHARGE OF THE WEATHER. WAS REALLY HAPPY THEY DID NOT CANCEL OUR TOUR THOUGH. PILOT WAS GOOD AND FLYING UNDER THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE WAS VERY COOL, ALSO SEEING ALCATRAZ FROM THE AIR.

I WOULD DO IT AGAIN!!!! LINDA

QUITE DISAPPOINTED IN THE "BEHIND THE SCENES PLATINUM TOUR". TOOK WAY TOO LONG, AND JUST A LOT OF TALK I WAS NOT MUCH INTERESTED IN. DID LIKE THE GEM EXHIBIT, AND THE REAL SCIENTISTS WORKING ON THEIR STUFF. THERE WERE NO LINES, SO THE "SKIP TO THE FRONT" WAS A MUTE ISSUE. WHEN WE FINALLY FINISHED THE TOUR WE ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 2 HOURS TO DO THE ENTIRE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES BUILDING.

LOVED THE FROGS!!!! AND RAIN FOREST.

IF I WERE TO GO BACK, I WOULD JUST GO TO THE ACADEMY, AND SKIP THE TOUR.
