The van to the bridge was better than expected! The tour guide was super friendly and kind. He gave lots of history to and from which helped us learn a lot. I liked that the Alcatraz tour was self guided. Then you could always hear what the guide was saying.

Did Alcatraz and Muir Woods Tour - This was my first visit to SF doing tours alone as my sister was working James made it feel like I was touring with family he was very informative and answered all of my pre tour questions promptly. James will have a new unique Golden Gate Walking tour coming soon I was honoured to be his first test subject. An excellent family run business that cares 🤩

Great Experience! We only had one day in San Fransico and this allowed us to see 3 things that were on our bucket list in one trip! Alcatraz was awesome and directions and instructions were easy to follow. Our tour guide was amazing and gave history and knowledge about San Fransico, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz on the ride to Muir Woods and the Golden Gate Bridge. The Bridge was a cool expectant we were able to see it from a spot that isn’t open to the public. Muir Woods was beautiful! Definitely would do this again and recommend to everyone.
