5.00Amazing trip to explore San Francisco! Our guide, Anne, was amazing and full of knowledge. We learned more from her than all the other tours and museums combined! The Muir Woods were stunning and easily walkable with a café near the parking lot. Sausalito was a quaint, lovely town. And Alcatraz was such a cool journey! The small group was my favorite part, as throughout the day we made lifelong friends with some of our travel companions. Worth every penny!!!
Great day

5.00Fab day, Alcatraz was amazing as expected. Muir Woods was just sublime, could off spent more time there and maybe skipped Sausalito, even though it was beautiful. Guide very informative.
Judith is the best in the business.
