1.00Very poorly managed and horrible customer service. Ended up missing 2/3 of the experiences due to unresponsiveness and lack of coordination from the company. I showed up in line after the Alcatraz experience for the 12:20pm boat ride they told me to get on in order to make it back from Alcatraz for their sprinter van’s 12:50pm departure time to Muir Woods but a separate group took longer to board in their private boat, leaving the 12:20pm boat to leave later. At 12:32pm I texted the number this company provided to let them know the boat was late, and I texted again at 12:46pm to let them know when we were leaving. When I arrived at the port at 1pm, there were no vans. I texted again at 1:04pm asking where they were-again zero response. After looking up and down outside Pier 33, I texted again letting them know that I’m reporting this. I did not hear from the representative from Must See until 3:11pm asking if “I made it right”. Things very quickly spiraled after I told them that their unresponsiveness was not right and they should reimburse me for the portions of the trip I did not get to experience, as I basically paid $160 for a ferry ride to Alcatraz. THEN the company rep accused me of blackmailing them when I told them that I was going to leave a poor review to let others know. They proceeding to threaten me that they were going to notify other tour agencies to blacklist me simply because I told them that a reimbursement should be given for the portions I missed. This is not an unreasonable request: I missed most of the experiences that I paid for, due to their lack of communication and coordination. I was going to let this slide and not write a review but the unprofessionalism and outright threats from that company rep went way too far to let this go and I feel others should know about their lack of responsiveness.
Do it!

5.00This tour was well worth it. Had a great trip to Alcatraz in the morning. We did have over an hour to kill before the van picked us up for Muir Woods and Sausalito. Muir Woods was beautiful and peaceful. Dustin was a terrific guide and very informative. It was a clear day, perfect for Golden Gate viewing. Highly recommend this tour.
