Alcarraz is simply a must-see in San Francisco, both for its history and for its gardens, Muir Woods is beautiful, Sausalito we were really there for very little time

Too much pressure from the driver for the schedules, they almost left us and we arrived two minutes before the indicated departure time, it doesn't matter that they suggested arriving 15 minutes before. We were able to spend more time in Sausalito, but the guide pressured us that we would not get to the Ferry to Alcatraz, which left every 15 MINUTES. In general I will not recommend this tour.

The tour is not bad but the times are very short, you run at each stop and at the end of the tour it ends around 3:30pm, it is very expensive for the routes taken, the times would be improved more to make it worth the investment. The truck and guides well.
