Nice trip around the SFC Area. Would have given 5 stars if the driver wouldn’t say it so many times that we have to give 5 stars. Even if I was traveling alone I felt pretty good

We had a wonderful time! The day started with a ferry ride to Alcatraz which was super cool, from there we went to Muir national forest which was incredible, and we ended the day is Sausalito, a very cool bay town. Ben our driver was fantastic and very accommodating!

Roman was amazing tour guide! He knew all the history of the places we passed and embedded humor into his story telling. He told us the best places to eat when the tour was over!
