Worth it!

The entire day was delightful. Alex was our guide and he did an outstanding job. The Muir Woods were beautiful, the town of Sausalito was amazing. I recommend Hamburgers for lunch: it was quick, cost effective, and very delicious. We also did the Alcatraz tour and were at the pier with plenty of time.

Thank you Sully!

Sully was fantastic. Full of information and set us up for a great day which kept to time. The transport was clean and comfortable despite some winding roads! My only thought is for those without cash might there be an alternative way to tip? I feel so bad, I thought there’d be another option like the QRcodes other tour guides had.

Great time 10/10

It was great! Meeting time was 9am and we were offered snacks on the bus but if you are some one who needs breakfast then you should have breakfast before. The best part was the Golden Gate bridge. Sully was very nice and the history age stories were wonderful!
