Mary, our tour guide was exceptional - 5 Stars! Growing up in San Francisco, she was intimately aware of so many interesting facts about the city and the sites. She filled the entire time, with so many areas of the city which were so interesting. She was amazing.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great experience on your Alcatraz & San Francisco Combo Tour. Mary truly is a gem—her deep local knowledge and passion for the city make her tours unforgettable, and we're so glad she made your visit special. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Warm regards, The Golden Horizon Tours Team
Nothing from the paid tour was provided to me. The company just got my money without providing anything in return. Now the facts: 1. Because the service was in English, I asked to replace the paid guide with a guide who spoke my language, which I found on my own - was refused. 2. I asked to be provided with tickets, refusing other paid services to the company - I was refused. 3. In the course of correspondence on these matters, I received insults and threats of legal action because of the alleged insults I had received. They reported that they provided services to ministers and presidents and I was the most problematic client. In the end, for the $780 I paid, I received insults and threats of legal action. But I didn't even get the tickets I paid for. The tour was organized on its own. The island and the legendary prison overturned the negative impressions of Viator, which received money from me for not providing services.
When lies become integrity -Trip Advisor has no credibility for approving this!!!!!! ***Please note that :This customer never showed up as shown below! This is 100% false and abusive - all these facts are documented on Viator platform in addition to all texts we received from his cell phone number which we can provide share with you. He canceled many times did not use our service. This customer is from another planet and everything he says is 100% false & can be used against him if needed: He cancelled and then changed his mind and then ignored us for weeks and never responded to us when he booked despite all the contacts, we initiated to reach him , and the messages we sent him through Viator(which can be consulted word by word and by date) . He changed his mind over & over and he either was not coming or has other plans but he decided to torture us until the very last minute as you can see below: He falsely claimed that Viator/Trip Advisor tour description is offered in Russian and we MUST provide that tour in Russian no matter what !!! He lives in the US and keeps writing in Russian and never bothered to even write us not even once in English to torture us for no reason. It’s 100 % false and misleading and we shared with him screenshots from Viator’s own website tour description(Product code: 178032P1) it’s not true with screenshot and copies. We called viator many times & they were shocked by his continuous misleading allegations & lack of consideration. He falsely claimed that we had to pick him way too far from San Francisco where he was staying near Santa Cruz, CA, and once again ;we proved to him that Viator (Product code: 178032P1) show that e only pick in San Francisco! Yet, he kept insisting nonstop! It his way or the highway! He kept changing his mind nonstop as you can see , one day he wanted to cancel, the next day he said the opposite and kept making the same false claims. No reading for law or policy like doesn’t want to even understand what is included and what excluded from Viator website tour description/ Product code: 178032P1. He is abusive, offensive, insulting- lacking civility & considerations! Then you added a third and unauthorized person Aleksander Mosalov +1 (510) 230-3339.). to the tour without even informing us or Viator! He didn’t even want to understand why that was wrong because he imposes his own terms on you with total disregard for policy, law & regulation! It’s his own way or the highway. Once again, we complied and accepted that at no extra cost. Not only that, he expected us to even include that third person to his city tour at the last minute & even asked us to include him on the ferry trip to Alcatraz without prior notice! How can you talk to someone he refuses to understand the law policy, logic, and common sense ? Monday 6,2023- he basically had no plans to show up and when final bothered to answer , he asked as shown on Viator Product code: 178032P1 that he doesn’t want to start the 8.30 am but at 11 am, we complied again and accepted. Then he asked to pick up at 11 am on Tuesday 6,2023- at the Zephyr Hotel in San Francisco (50 Beach St, San Francisco, CA 94133) and we complied (please see Viator message/ Viator Product code: 178032P1 ) When he did not show up, the tour guide called him but he didn’t answer and then , he texted him and he finally responded saying that HE NO LONGER NEED THE SERVICE”. All these FACTS are documented !! He kept changing his mind like that nonstop because he knew he was not going to show up ! and he once again & FALSELY claims as you can see that we didn’t offer him the service! shouldn’t he be held accountable for misleading and lying NONSTOP? Then after the tour guide left and drove far away, he asked him to come back , so once again, he changed his mind. Then he handed over his cell phone to a Russian interpreter (Aleksander Mosalov +1 (510) 230-3339) who asked the tour guide to make him another favor and go back to meet them as they requested at Pier 33 (Alcatraz ferry landing) to hand over Alcatraz tickets to them. Our tour guide once again, drove back and went to Pier 33 and even purchased a third Alcatraz ticket to his interpreter as a gift from us. This tour was 100% a loss for us! with all the extra expenses and the time, we lost … we dot even need his men which we have never even received anyway from Viator. Any service provider would be willing to pau the double just to say away! What an endless nightmare? Once again and despite all the above time, efforts, and extra expenses , they never showed up ! When they didn’t show up at Alcatraz ferry landing (at Pier 33) , the tour guide called him and asked if they were still coming or not , and he screamed at him saying ‘ we don’t need you or your damn service” and hung up. Are you serious? Again ! and yet, he falsely claims that we never provided the service !seriously ? No one else would have even put up 1% of what had gone through and yet, we went above & beyond to accommodate this strange man and he kept playing games nonstop!! How dare he denying facts , his own texts and messages on Viator and cell phones ? He had been changing his mind since day one and he had no intention of showing up but decided to torture us all until the very last second! This insulting and offensive individual needs help not a tour service!! No one should go through so much stress and humiliation like that! This man should be banned from using Viator and trip Advisor, as he was banned from Alcatraz website who remove his own misleading review and lies. This strange individual has no regard for any policy, laws or regulation. We told him that the National Park Service doesn’t allow tour guides to carry out guided tours on Alcatraz Island as they include the award-winning audio guided tour, but he didn’t care and went there with a tour guide as he says. Then he complained that the NPS & Alcatraz removed his misleading review he left on their website! We don’t even want his money and he should and must be banned from using Trip Advisor & Viator as he got banned from Alcatraz & Airbnb ! Among the many messages we sent him here is one from Customer Care Viator customer.care@viator.com trying to calm him down & remind him of what he signed up for (was sent Mon, Feb 6, 12:52 PM from customer.care@viator.com )
This is the private response I left for the operator. They never responded so when the email came to rate the experience I thought I would leave my feelings here… Our guided tour just ended and I wanted to reach out to you before I gave any public review of how disappointing it ended up being. I have two kids with me both of which needed to eat before we went to Alcatraz after the guided tour. This was all communicated very clearly with John and he said we would have an hour to do so. At the beginning of the tour he asked if there were any places we wanted to see and my kids specifically asked to see the Mrs. Doubtfire and the full house location. John took us to several fogged out bridge locations where we couldn’t see anything and then did not have time to take us to the locations we requested at the beginning of the tour. He also dropped us off late so we do not have time to feed the kids prior to having to get in line for the ferry. Paying over $1000 for a tour where half the time my kids are going to be upset and starving is not ideal. I called John while we were waiting for him to get the Alcatraz tickets and asked if we could go at a later date or time so I could have time to feed the kids. He said that there was nothing he could do. We’re now in line to get on the ferry and my kids are hungry. What could have been a fantastic day did not end up being so. The tour had a lot of potential and John did have some good moments (like taking us yo Lucas films) but overall it was a lot of money and a disappointing adventure. Won’t be a returning customer or recommending
Dear Mrs. Davis, “The whole world is short-staffed due to Covid-19. Please be kind to those that show up.” With all due respect Mrs. Davis , this is one of the most dishonest reviews we have even read in 20 years! You got all your facts wrong, and you are so confused. Allow me to clarify that for you: First of all, no, we didn’t send you any email to get your feedback as we don’t have your contact information; that was your travel agent of Viator , and not us. You have not booked directly through us but through Viator/ trip advisor who never provide us with customers’ emails. We comply with their guidelines, and we respond promptly through their own platform as we don’t have your email - If they didn’t respond to you, we are not to blame! You didn’t book with us, we have no access to your messages and communication with them! Did you read their website tour description and terms ? How could you even ask your driver to change your Alcatraz National Park departure time? Don’t you see the contradiction ? No one can change Alcatraz ferry departure as it was made by Alcatraz National Park Service in advance with a special departure time for everybody, particularly during this pandemic. I wish you could have read your “illogical” feedback before you posted it online. You knew exactly what to expect and you couldn’t find any Alcatraz tickets availability elsewhere, we had to work so hard to accommodate you and get you all Alcatraz tickets for the same departure time and at the same time. Users and readers may laugh at this, but Nobody has any control over the weather forecast ma'am! The Golden Gate Bridge is foggy 95% of the time , particularly in the summer, everybody knows that fact, but no customer or travelers has even blamed a tour company for the fog, fires, and weather forecasts like That. You obviously had a bad day, and you were upset before the tour started for private and personal reasons - we understand that but please don’t blame us for something we didn’t do! Regardless of where we make stops along the way, when the bridge is foggy, there is nothing we can do about it! I wish we would have that magical power, but we are humans! With all due respect, this is nonsense! Did you know that Viator/Trip Adviser charge us over 25% commission (almost $300.00) which makes this private tour almost unprofitable for us as a small business during these tough economic times? Their rates are posted on their own website and it’s not a secret; you could have declined their rates/booking instead of blaming us for their own website rates and terms to which you had agreed! It was their job to follow up with you which they did as shown on their platform. We are 100% responsive and transparent and we always follow up with our clients promptly. Again, you didn’t book through us ma'am, and we are not liable for the lack of communication you had with your own provider “Viator”. They only pay for the service we provide almost 2 months after it’s delivered! Regarding your comment about snacks, this is totally misleading and nonsense. Your driver Jon did not drop you off late, this is totally inaccurate, we have our GPS record here to share it with you if you want. He complied 100% with the tour scheduled and terms, he even drove you by the area where Mrs. Doubtfire was filmed but he couldn’t point it out as he couldn’t interrupt your arguments with your family. Jon was very respectful, and patient with you as you seemed unhappy before you even started the tour. We respect family privacy, whatever is happening between you and your family or kids, that’s a private matter and has nothing to do with us. No, that's not accurate , you had over 50 minutes to buy something to eat before you got on the ferry. Right where Jon dropped you off, there are a couple of options where you could have bought something to eat including the “Queen's Louisiana Po-Boy Cafe and “Hillstone”. But you said you have a special diet and requested a later departure time to Alcatraz -not even the US park rangers can change the departure time, how do you expect the driver to do that ? Rather than spending your time writing a bad review before you even complete your tour (which shows how much time you had on your hands before the ferry departure ) you could have asked Alcatraz ferry staff about those options and why they don’t allow anyone to change the departure time instead of blaming us for that! We have complied 100% with the tour schedule and terms you have booked and agreed to. I understand that you have all special diets regarding food, but you knew this tour and schedule would be this way - you could have bought your own food or sandwiches prior to the tour. Most customers enjoy a good meal after the Alcatraz tour as it only lasts a couple of hours. We don’t deserve this inaccurate and negative feedback, it’s really a shame and unfair to your tour guide! “The whole world is short-staffed due to Covid-19. Please be kind to those that show up.” Nick Customer service Reservations & Operations Aug 15, 2021, 04:38 PM
Highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting a good overview of San Fran. Our driver was amazing and tailored the tour to our pace. He was also a wealth of information when it came to explaining the city history and landmarks. The fact that all Alcatraz arrangements were made as part of this tour was an added bonus. Wonderful day!
Adam was a fantastic guide. He took us so many places we would have never seen on our own! He was super accommodating and entertaining. We were a group of 8 and he made it special for each one of us!
John was an excellent tour guide. We loved hearing about historical facts while visiting the sites. I would definitely recommend this tour. They should have tours like this in every state.
We were taking the family to San Francisco for a week and wanted to see as much as we could see of the SF area and surrounding sights. We were told by many that we must make time for Yosemite, however our schedule did not allow for a lot of time for this. We found Golden Horizon and contacted them about their Yosemite 1 day Private SUV Tour. We went ahead and booked it and we WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. Leo was our guide / expert. He picked us up in San Francisco, took us out to Yosemite, made sure we stopped to get a lunch a great deli for a picnic later, and entertained the family for the entire 4+ hour drive with knowledge, history and stories of Yosemite and other adventures. We reviewed other tours which would pick you up and "drop you off for 3 hours" for half of the cost of this tour. SO GLAD we didn't do that. Leo made sure that in four hours, we saw almost everything possible to see up to and including some short hikes to some amazing scenery. My wife is an avid photographer and Leo was very knowledgable about photography as well as everything at Yosemite and he helped her with making sure to maximize the trip. Our kids, my wife and I can now all cross yosemite off of the bucket list. What an amazing natural treasure. As Leo mentioned, we were there at the best time of the year. Mid June = all of the passes are open, but all the snow is still melting which means all of the waterfalls, rivers and streams are at full force. Simply stunning. Thanks to the customer support team for setting us up at the last moment (extraordinarily friendly) as well as Leo for a phenomenal experience. Absolutely would recommend. -Brett
I'm a country girl from Virginia, and was nervous booking with Golden Horizon Tours. I booked the 1/2 day San Francisco tour including tickets to Alcatraz. That morning, Mary met my husband and I in the lobby of our hotel. She was already waiting for us when we came out of the elevator a little early! Picked us up in a spotlessly clean black suburban. We toured the city in style, so thankful Mary is a great driver because I would have hated for my husband to have to maneuver through that madness! By the time the tour was over we had learned so much history we would have never learned on our own. Mary is a local, and her stories really added to the tour. Before she left us at the ferry to Alcatraz she gave us our tickets along with a wealth of information to help us finish our trip successfully. We missed her and talked about her for the rest of our trip!
My twenty year old son and I planned a Mother/Son get away to San Francisco to spend some quality alone time together. Preferring convenient and hassle free experiences, we explored our options of private tour companies. Lucky for us, we selected Golden Horizon Travel & Tours. We booked three of their tours: The Ultimate Grand City 8-hour Tour, The Muir Woods/Sausalito half day Tour and The Monterey, Carmel, 17-Mile Drive Tour. We have found completing an overview tour of cities we travel to the first full day of our travel grants us a great overview of the area and helps us to determine which areas we may choose to explore further. We had the pleasure of having Mary, a San Francisco native, as our guide for this tour. Mary was gracious, kind and accommodating. She was knowledgeable of the history and was able to tell us how things have changed in the city during her years here. What a priceless gift. We then had the pleasure of meeting Jon for our Muir Woods, Sausalito and Marin Headland Tours. As this is a half day tour we requested to add on an extra hour to spend more time exploring a few extra sites. Again, Jon was knowledgeable about the area offering us added opportunities to see places of interest to us that added to our experience (ie - The Marine Mammal Center, The Record Plant Recording Studio where Prince recoded his first album, etc). Jon further showed us many areas of Sausalito that we may not have seen if not for his guidance. Finally, we had the pleasure to once again have Mary as our guide for The Monterey, Carmel, and 17-Mile Drive Tour. Mary made this day long tour pleasurable and comfortable showing us many sites we may not have found on our own. Such a lovely way to spend our last day in the Bay Area. Both Mary and Jon are 5/5 star guides and you will not go wrong with either of them!
Thank you so much for your excellent trip review. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to offering you another exceptional experience in the future. Kind regards, Nelly Golden Horizon Travel, Inc.
We had a fabulous time with our guide Leo. The trip well exceeded our expectations. Leo was extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed our relaxing trip from San Francisco, down the coast. Leo was friendly and flexible with where we stopped to eat & tour during our entire trip. I think Big Sur was our favorite, or was it Carmel, or Hearst Castle, or the strawberry fields. Too many fun filled stops to mention. Our trip was packed with all the hot stops and loads of fun! We highly recommend booking with Golden Horizon Tours. OH!! Our favorite Stop was IN AND OUT BURGER, On our way to the airport!!! Thanks for the secret information Leo!!
