Loved this tour overall. The first stop was a quicky to view the Golden Gate Bridge in all its glory. Perfect day, no clouds, excellent place for photo shoot. After this it was onto Muir Woods which was amazing. To be able to take in the sheer enormity of these huge majestic giants was special. The peacefulness one felt as you walked through the trails was almost sacred . Would have liked a longer time there. The gift shop looked nice but didn't linger to look as time got away.
Sausalito, was a very pretty little town with a marina. Had a good lunch at the Deli. Nearly got left behind because I was looking at the shops. Would have liked more time here too.
Our last stop was the short ferry ride over to Alcatraz. Certainly a step back in time. How inmates didn't go crazy whilst there was amazing. Some of the crimes that prisoners were sent there for didn't seem fitting for being there. The gardens have been let go which was a shame. Revisited the movie Escape from Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood as Frank Lee Morris after visiting The Rock, and I could see why they had to escape. Their conditions were harsh along with the treatment dispatched by some of the guards. It was a very interesting place., but my least favourite from all the places visited on this tour.

Thank you Fiona for your review. It is very well described and I love the way you wrote it and the words you used.
It seams that you like to take your time and I don't blame you, but it is a tour with other people and it is important that everybody is on time for the itinerary and respect of the small group you were with and thank you for being respectful with keeping with the time ;)
You know what I like to say for the time you felt too short, it is usually when you have a good time that you think time flies. If it was boring and not interesting it will be too long. Come again, hahaha
