Robert was a fantastic tour guide. Loved the history he had to share about the area. Muir Woods was a great stop. Wish Sausalito could be a little longer. Alcatraz was worth the extra time!

A wonderful and seamless trip. Randall was very friendly and informative. We enjoyed the small group setting and the convenience of being dropped off at the door of each location.

This is the first time my partner and I have been to San Francisco. We were reluctant of a small group setting, but it was a BLAST. The tour guide (Dustin Rotstein) had so many fun facts and would explain the history of the areas we were driving through. We ABSOLUTELY loved every minute if it! We really do recommend this! ♥️
