The boat that we cruised on was rather large and could accommodate hundreds of people. However, the boat was only about a quarter filled with people. I found the locks system to be intriguing as there is nothing like this back in Australia. The crew were knowledgeable and spoke about the history of Seattle and its surroundings. Great weather made it even better as the water was calm and the sea breeze once you hit the salt water was amazing.

It was convenient being picked up from my hotel, however the bus was about 40 minutes late, and waking up at 5:30am in the morning to be expected to be picked up at 6:10am, but not being able to start the tour until 6:50am was quite irritating. However, the tour got better as we were on the way to Yosemite. There was breathtaking views of the national park and there was also opportunity to go for a hike at the Sequoia National Park as well. Make sure you're prepared for this with plenty of water and good traction shoes as the track is fairly steep on the way back up. Gino was our tour guide and bus driver and was extremely knowledgeable and fun on the mic. He also took us to Treasure Island for some amazing photo opportunities of San Francisco at sunset. Be prepared that this is a very long day but it was extremely worth it to get those views.

I felt this was good for value. I used it to go to the MoMA, Top of the rock and the MET. Was easy to claim the tickets and would highly recommend going to the top of the rock at night. Beautiful views!
