Great tour Our guide Kat for Muir Woods and Sausalito was the best !
Nice guide. Comfortable ride. GG just has a restroom break near Marin Point end . Not really a photo opp.
So fun, informative, and incredibly beautiful sights! Well worth it if you want to see a ton of highlights in a day. Anja our tour guide was incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable- highly recommend!
Our guide, Anja, was wonderful. Shared California history along the way. Pointed out specific sites. Easy, stress free, excursion. We had Alcatraz as part of our trip. Dropped off right at entrance. Totally enjoyed the trip!
Alcatraz tour exceptional. Easy to navigate. The Muir wood tour and Sausalito was great also. However we felt we didn’t have enough time in Sausalito. A quick coffee and it was time to get back on Sprinter again. Wish we could have explored this beautiful area for at least an extra hour. Robert our guide was knowledgable, and efficient however we found there were too many requests for tips for himself throughout the tour. Also the large sign in Sprinter hinting at maximum tip being the norm was off putting. Overall we enjoyed the trip very much.
Muir Woods was fantastic as was the Alcatraz tour. I wish there had been more time than an hour for Sausalito (time was only enough to grab lunch at a downtown restaurant- needed an additional 30 minutes to walk around the marina and shops).
Tour went exactly as described. Great tour, Anja was phenomenal as our tour guide. I would highly recommend this experience.
Dustin was wonderful on our tour today! He was knowledgeable about the SF area, humorous, which I appreciate and a very safe driver, which my husband appreciated. He also was willing to stop at the Golden Gate Bridge so we could get pictures!! Five stars for Dustin!!
Our guide Anja was amazing. She drove super cautious and we always felt safe. She was also very informative.
Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. I appreciated that we were in a small van.
