5.00Van is a bit tight and lots of curvy roads. Muir Woods was the clear winner of this experience for me. I booked the trip for Alcatraz but was extremely pleased with Muir Woods. Alcatraz was ok but we went on the weekend so it was a bit crowded. The only negative for this trip was the ferry. They packed people onto the ferry with extremely limited places to sit and standing room was shoulder to shoulder.
Great day out

5.00The tour started off to a slightly anxious start as we were not on the original paperwork - however it was very quickly rectified and we were soon on our way. The first stop was Golden Gate Bridge - I am not sure if it was scheduled stop BUT they took us to a great spot over the bridge where we were allowed to get off the coach and take photos. From there we went to Muir Woods where we were given an allocated amount of time - we could have done with a little more time to explore slightly afield - it was however a very pleasant walk - the tour guide ensured that all of the party got through to the woods without any problems. From Muir Woods, we went to Sausalito - here we were given an hour and a option to get the ferry back to San Francisco or carry on with the tour. The last stop on our tour was Alcatraz- I was under the impression that the rest of the group was going too, however we were the only people going on the night tour. I was unaware that we would be going independently to the island, the tour guide was great and guided us to the correct pier and gave us details and info we would need to get on the ferry. Our tour guide was great (Randall) - very knowledgeable and friendly.
