Superb over view of the city and anecdotes narrated by our guide. One would not be doing justice if one doesn’t include the trio to Alcatraz and do the tour of the prison area. Muir woods and salsalito is a must see. If you have time and enjoy trekking a trek in muir woods can be planned separately to enjoy the views of the ocean from one of the trails.

Capt Roger rules!!
pattyfourj
, May 2022
Our guide, Capt Roger, of the non-Alcatraz portion of the tour, was fabulous! Very funny & lively, but also full of many insider tips & local knowledge. He made the trip even more memorable! As for the Alcatraz portion, I would highly suggest downloading the official Alcatraz app onto your own device & using that audio tour instead of the one downloaded onto the remote unit provided onsite. The app version had more detailed info & I found it easier to use/control.

Rolano was our tour guide and he was amazing. He was ethusiactic, funny and full of knowledge about the histroy of San Francisco, Sausalito, Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods. Being a native of SF he gave recommendations for restaurants and other activities. Rolano is the type of person you would want to book for a private tour. Thanks Rolando for showing us an awesome day.

The tour was brought to life by Captain Roger (our guide). He is a proud and knowledgeable San Franciscan and wanted to share his love of the city with his guests. We learnt facts and stories you just wouldn’t get by not taking a tour. The only reason we gave 4/5 is we ran out of time to cover some downtown sights before the Alcatraz ferry. Fully recommend.

Finding the starting location was a bit confusing and saw no real indication that we were at the correct starting point. That's the only thing not positive that I have to say. The real story begins with Patrick, he was personable and very likable and seemed to sincerely enjoy his job. He was Informative but in more of a conversation. Giving us details in a humorous and knowledgeable way. We were lucky to have a clear and beautiful day to get a wonderful view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Wish all tour guides were more like him, He was truly awesome!!!! It was hands down the best tour of our entire vacation which included a 7 day cruise. Definitely a great value.

We had the best time. The tour group was small—16 people. The tour van/bus was comfortable. Our guide was so fun, informative, engaging and super nice—Rolando. It was a great way to get an overview of San Francisco and surrounding areas. Made a short stay memorable. The amount of sightseeing was perfect—makes you want to stay longer and explore more.
