What a great day it was. The scenery was breathtaking. Ralph was our driver and guide. He gave very informative information about the rock formations and history. He also drove us to areas not usually seen by other tours. We visited Scottys Castle, wow what an amazing place. Generous breakfast and lunch supplies and an endless supply of water. We stopped frequently enough for rest room stops. A very long day, but I wouldn't want to miss it. Such a contrast to Las Vegas.

The helicopter flight was a smooth ride. The pilot informed us of the sights we were seeing. We landed near the base of the canyon and looked around, then had our champagne and sandwich supper. The colours of the canyon weren't as spectacular as I was hoping. Our wow factor was when we flew back to the city and over the Las Vegas strip. Just amazing.

What a great day out. Good variety of things to see and do. Muir Woods is lovely and only an hour from San Francisco. Then on to Sausalito, where we had an hour free time to walk around and buy lunch. Very pretty town. I would have liked to spend a bit longer there to explore. We then caught the ferry to Alcatraz. Make sure you do the free audio tour of the cells. It was excellent.

Great day out. Roman was our driver and guide. He was a very good speaker, funny and had lots of little stories to tell. The woods were amazing. The views spectacular. We stopped frequently enough for rest rooms and lunch and dinner. A long day but well worth it.
