I thoroughly enjoyed Alex's tour through San Francisco, Muir, Woods, and Sausalito. It was filled with interesting history, beautiful scenery, and helpful tourism tips. The van ride was comfortable and the stops were just long enough to see each area and get some great photos. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend a free day in San Francisco!

Brendan was very informative and entertaining!! He went the extra mile to include a state park in the tour since federal parks are closed. Thanks Brendan for the great day!
