This full day excursion was a very nice experience. I found a great deal on Groupon which made it all the more cheaper. It was definitely worth the $100 for 7.5hours of touring. We wouldn’t have visited the woods or Sausalito otherwise. The woods were incredibly beautiful, the fee entrance to the woods was a separate $15, which is okay. We were lucky it was such a beautiful sunny day, we got to see the Golden Gate Bridge from a nice viewpoint and take beautiful photos. Also, visiting Sausalito for lunch was a nice touch. We got food from a nice Mexican place called Burgers and went to the park in front of the bay for a picnic. The food from that place is absolutely recommended. The tour guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. He also made sure everyone stayed on track and didn’t wonder off for too long, because most of us had to make the last ferry to Alcatraz. Alcatraz was definitely on our bucket list, and we got to check that off our list. We got to learn about the history of the island and the Indians who moved in there after it was abandoned, otherwise I would have never learned about that. I am so glad I found this tour and did it. It is also worth doing if you’re in San Francisco for a few days only. You get to see and learn a lot about the city. Before going to the bridge, we also got to see where all the rich people live and how much the houses costs. I think it was one of the most complete tours I’ve done so far. Completely worth it.
Fun and informative

One of the best tours I have ever done. The guide (I think Brendan) was hilarious. The best thing about it is also what I'd warn people of: you will see A LOT. There are several stops, including some more than an hour. By the time you will A. feel like you get SanFran, and B. be exhausted. But that's how I like to travel, so you do you! Overall, it was amazing.
It was a wonderful and...

Comprehensive and outstanding tour! Sully was incredibly knowledgeable and very personable. We selected the tour for the Muir Woods visit and got so much more, including a recap of the history of San Francisco, the Presidio and the multicultural sections of the city.
