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

1.00Muir Woods - 1 hour - tickets to Muir Woods not included. Enough time to walk the designated trail but not enough time to stop and appreciate the woods or take photos. Sausalito - nice little quaint town. 1 hour 15 min. Too long for walk without lunch, yet too short for lunch. Doesnt allow passengers to rest in the vehicle when too early for departure. Tour guide - Dustin - feels like he is very disinterested overall. Threatens to leave passengers behind at every location if they are not there on time.
Really enjoyed

5.00Our driver Justin (I hope I got it right, but it was Sunday 25th January at 08:30 tour). Pick up point was easy, very informative along the way and funny. Kept us updated and good times to allow roaming around and advise. Vehicle was comfortable with a full load - I think it was 13 or 14 of us. Clear instructions on how to pass the ticket line for Alcatraz that they book on your behalf as its 1 group ticket/QR code with other people not with you. Enjoyable tour.
Alcatraz is closed

4.00Alcatraz has been closed for a week for dock repairs. This was disclosed within an hour of booking, but Viator just needs to take the option off the site. Muir Woods and Sausalito were beautiful. Randall did a great job driving, I felt safe on the edge of the mountain with him. He provided us with many SF facts that I was not aware of.
Ben was a great guide. ...

5.00Ben was a great guide. Playing the music recorded in Sausalito was a nice touch. Great way to get out of San Francisco for a day.
Short hop to San Fran

5.00Not much to say specifically- it was just as advertised. I was more than happy with the length and content. The trees were not of this world. The commentary was very good. Our guide had tons of personality, he was hilarious without being annoying. We loved the whole day. We will be back!
No one showed up

1.00Tour guide no-showed. When Viator called them, no one answered. I lost my time and the taxi fare to get here. These people are running a scam
