5.00This was a great tour. Sully was an awesome, informative guide. We were able to see some local sights while getting some SF city history. The bus was clean and very comfortable. The trip out to Muir Woods came with it's own history and information and even some music. We had a nice in Sausalito and, again, had some history and music at this so, as well. Highly recommend.
Great tour!

5.00My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! It was the highlight of our San Francisco trip. We did this on our first full day in town and it was a wonderful introduction to the city and helped us prioritize our time while we were there. Our guide, Sully clearly loved San Francisco and helped us to fall in love with it as well. This was worth every penny! I highly recommend including Alcatraz, that was extremely well done.
Excellent Tour Guide, Room for Better Organization

4.00I had a great experience overall, mainly thanks to Pet. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and kind throughout the tour. He took me to amazing places and gave great recommendations for restaurants and other things to do in San Francisco and the surrounding area. The organization could have been better, though. It would have helped to clearly indicate the tour operator’s name, as I had to ask around to find the right group. A confirmation message the day before the tour would also have been appreciated. In addition, I never received the QR code for the cruise, so I had to explain the situation at the ticket office. Despite these issues, Pet made the tour very enjoyable and memorable.
Excellent - Worth the $
