5.00It was worth every penny. We chose to do the afternoon tour and were totally impressed by the driver’s knowledge. The views at Muir Woods were breathtaking and Alcatraz was very educational.

5.00It went well. The roads to and from the woods are very windy without guard rails. Our guide Ben handled them very well. He is enthusiastic of his city and woods and it shows.
Was a good time. Traffic...

5.00Was a good time. Traffic is traffic in San Francisco. Great driving and knowledgeable on the area. Definitely recommend to others who need to hit these spots on the same day.
Over priced taxi service

5.00Was picked up by Randall at the meeting place taken to the “view point” of the Golden Gate Bridge , which wasn’t a great view at all to be honest, he could have stopped before the bridge at the round house cafe for a much better view of the bridge. Then went to muir woods , where we were told how long we had and to be back at the bus by, and those that had booked the Alcatraz tour had to pay entry. After leaving there the girl sat in the front spoke to Randall about every airport in USA and the rest of the bus were ignored until Sausalito , we were then given an hour and 5 minutes for lunch, it was 11am by now! Leaving there we left for the ferry to Alcatraz where we were prompted about the 20% tip , a few got off early and didn’t give a tip so the remainder of us were told about it on the way to the next stop, I felt a little embarrassed. I feel it’s rude , already paid £120 for the trip, ignored most of the journey and then expected 20% tip of everybody, saying he accepts card as well as cash!! I believe tipping is if you deserve it, not just for “taxiing” us about, we were left at the pier to get the ferry to Alcatraz which is now a self guided tour, so why do I need to tip a glorified taxi driver. However muir woods, Sausalito and Alcatraz are all amazing places, we are going back to Sausalito Sunday to spend more time as was rushed

5.00Randall was an excellent guide!!! The other tour guide on our day was super pushy and hounded the previous customers for a tip. Thank goodness our trip was with Randall.
Wonderful
