This was a wonderful tour led by Dustin!! It was a great way to pack in a day of fun! Got to learn and see Alcatraz at a self guided tour. Then got picked up to go see the Muir Woods which is just absolutely gorgeous and ended the day in Sausalito and Dustin had great food and sweet treat suggestions! Very fun, informative and interactive tour!! 10/10 recommend!
