He made sure to stop at all of the major sights, giving us a lot of "insider" information about each place. He was very flexible, allowing us to take extra time at some vistas, and take extra pictures at others. Highly Recommended and Well worth the price!
Patricia was chatty, knowledgeable, very friendly and interested in the tour. She made an effort to show us everything we wanted to see and more things we were not even aware of. I recommend this company and Patricia to any visitors to this wonderful city. We booked a private SUV tour and as first-time visitors to SF it gave the whole family a wonderful and insightful introduction to an amazing City.
One of the best tours that we have had and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He was professional, knowledgeable and extremely passionate about the city and making sure the tour was everything we wanted. He made the tour personal to us, after finding out my Husband is military he made sure we knew about the military history etc. Throughout the planning process the company was great, always responded to my emails, even when we changed our hotel last minute, it was no problem and Tom was there with a huge warm greeting!!!
Thank you again Tom and Golden Horizons tours, My husband is often deployed and we have rare opportunities to have a mini vacation and you made our day thank you thank you!!!!! Our rating is "six stars" ;-. I cannot speak highly enough about our guide Tom who was not only extremely knowledgeable but also passed on his sense of passion and respect for his town and his adopted country.
Thanks again Tom -we will be sure to use Golden horizon again on our next visit to the San Francisco bay area. Peter was an excellent tour guide, very informative, engaging and hilarious. Without any hesitation I recommend Golden Horizon Travel to all! He arranged perfect tastings for our family, taking into account the varied interests of the four of us. Knowledgeable he is! We appreciated how he so freely, casually shared and explained to educate us.
And, we appreciated the spur of the moment short, side trips that enhanced our memorable day. This was my favorite day of our San Francisco vacation. Adam put a smile not only on my face, but also in my heart.
We were blessed to share the hours with him!!! Thanks, Linda. We could listen to that voice all day. And, one would never imagine he had a care in the world outside bringing his client the most memorable experience possible.
Nor your company. Nor Jon, for that matter. Thank you VERY much for that day. Our San Francisco Alcatraz combo tour did exceed our expectations!
We highly recommend this tour company for families with kids. Our whole experience was awesome and outstanding. Thank you for the great experience.
We had a 12 hour wait until our next flight in San Francisco. We arrived early in the morning, went first to Alcatraz and after that the tour guide, Anton, from GHT came and picked us up by the Pier. We had booked the city tour and learned SO much, and saw so many things, places, and views! We definitely recommend GHT, you will not be disappointed! Scott D Dayton, Ohio. Book your Alcatraz and city combo tour with Golden Horizon, you will not be disappointed!
Ask for Mary, she is awesome!
She was very knowledgeable of San Francisco and we hit all the major sites. If we had a special request, she graciously accommodated I am a prisoner to your company, if we return, I will definitely book with you again, we tried one other company and there was No Comparison for the individualized custom service received with your company-5 STARS!
My partner and I booked the San Francisco Alcatraz combo tour. We were lucky to get tickets to Alcatraz with such a short notice! Our city tour with Adam was very interesting and amazing Our experience within Alcatraz Island was terrific My wife and I joined our two traveling companions on two custom half-day tours with Golden Horizon and our fab Kiwi guide, Jon.
On day 1, after our arrival on a Princess cruise ship, we did a full city tour, ending with Jon dropping us off for a night-time visit to Alcatraz.
We were greeted bright and early the next morning for day 2, which included Muir Woods and Sausalito and areas around the Golden Gate Bridge. All in all, the experience was fabulous We all had a great time seeing the main tourist sites of your wonderful town.
One advantage you have with the SUV tour is that you get to drive on Lombard St where tour buses are not allowed. Jon also took us right under the Golden Gate bridge where no other tourists were around. Thanks so much for a great experience! San Fran is amazing by night! She took us around to some neighborhoods; this was essential to experience authentic areas of San Francisco by night.
The views were breathtaking at night! She was our photographer and storyteller. We were very pleased with our night tour; the city of San Francisco is totally amazing at night.
It was a morning well spent!
The afternoon 1 hour bay cruise was fun and cool We booked your San Francisco bay cruise combo tour; it was windy in the bay but well worth it. We had a private sightseeing tour by SUV for 5 hours with your company and that was a great way to see San Francisco narrow streets and scenic neighborhoods. It was exciting driving on Lombard Street … Thank you for accommodating our last-minute booking. Mary drove us around in San Francisco and told us about history and contemporary "fun knowing".
She is grown up in SF and had great knowledge. Before the trip, our kids complained that 4 hours were too long, but when the tour was over they thought the 4 hours went too fast.
It was a perfect start to our SF stay that covered the entire SF and we learned a lot and we had fun. My partner did not have a ticket to Alcatraz but Mary managed with the impossible to find a ticket in the ferry zone, which we appreciated a lot!! Going on a tour with Mary was optimal! Comfortable car, only we in the car, very personal. Since Mary knew Sweden and Finland meant that we clicked fine from the very firts moment!! Alcatraz was fascinating and Golden Horizon was able to accommodate us with tickets on short notice due to a cancellation.
Our full day private driving tour of San Francisco with Tom was totally delightful. Not only was Tom, our guide, fully informed about the nuances of the city history but a terrific conversationalist providing a very relaxed and pleasant day. We would recommend the entire experience as a 5-star excellent time.
We had a blast on this tour and Mary was a terrific tour guide! We got to see nearly everything we wanted to see in San Francisco in one day - without having to plan a route or drive amongst the locals. Mary is a San Francisco native and is extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. Having the tour guide handle the Alcatraz tickets is another nice perk that will make your visit to San Francisco that more stress-free. Be sure to let her know if you like "Star Wars" - she will have an awesome, unlisted stop waiting for you!
Our whole experience was awesome! It was a wonderful surprise when Jon took us to a couple of places that were not on the itinerary. I know that if we are ever back in the area, we will certainty use this service again. 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! We only had a day in SF, and made a good use of our short stay in sfo. Alcatraz prison was the highlight of our a trip, morbid but very interesting to see and learn about its famous inmates like Al Capone Took a city tour of San Francisco which ended with a trip to Alcatraz.
Mary was a wonderful guide, picked us up promptly at our hotel in a clean, comfortable Explorer. Saw much of San Francisco that we would not have been able to see without a car and got much background information. The tour is not cheap, but one is well cared for.
Worth it. Alcatraz island prison was on our bucket list before we even traveled to California, we wanted to go there so badly, and we did, we are so glad we took the time to visit Alcatraz island. Alcatraz prison may seem morbid and awkward because of all the sad and morbid stories of solitary confinement we all heard and read here or there, but more you learn about it from the audio guided tour, more get inserted in the story of Alcatraz solitary confinements, the infamous escape from Alcatraz, and learn the story of the prison and about the inmates from the officers own perspective.
Initially, we could not find a specialized tour guide in Spanish to take us to Yosemite park and to see the giant sequoias. But thank God we found this tour company. We were lucky as they also had tickets to Alcatraz Island at night, even though it was sold out everywhere else they managed to secure our booking for the nigh tour the same day.
What a great surprise to discover that the booking agent of the company spoke fluently Spanish, she was very friendly and helpful. Not only did she get us a private tour of Yosemite in Spanish with a bilingual guide, but she also managed to get us Alcatraz tickets for the night tour at a last-minute. That was totally unexpected and super cool. We cannot thank you enough for your excellent customer service and for making the extra effort to get book Alcatraz tickets for us despite this short notice.
All the other websites that we tried are fake or are not even located in California! None even bothered to answer our telephone calls. Well worth It. We booked our Alcatraz night trip with Alcatraz tours in February, but we were not visiting San Francisco until late May.
This was the right thing to do as all Alcatraz night tours got sold out in March! The ferry trip to Alcatraz island was quite nice and took us less than 20 minutes to reach Alcatraz island. We really enjoyed this night excursion of the prison. No, it was not creepy at all.
My wife and I booked our Alcatraz prison tickets online through this tour company, combined with a trip to Napa Valley wineries. We love beer, but we wanted to try some wines for a change. So, we tasted great deal of red and white wines in Napa wine country. Then, we drove back to San Francisco and got dropped off at Pier 33 to take the ferry to Alcatraz island. Alcatraz night tour was on our bucket-list before we even travelled to California, we were so excited when they dropped us off at Alcatraz ferry lines.
The night tour boat departed from the dock at pm. We enjoyed great views of the city of San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge as we were sailing to Alcatraz island. Once at the island, US park rangers split visitors into groups and started the night guided tour at different times.
If you have difficulty walking up hills, they have a tram you can ride both ways at no extra cost. The narration of the self-guided tour is really informative and exciting. We highly recommend Alcatraz prison night tour to all travelers.
We booked the night tour with Alcatraz Tours, and that was an excellent tour experience. Really well organized and informative.
We learned a lot about Alcatraz prison on the night tour, and I can thoroughly recommend Alcatraz night tour even for families with kids. Wear comfortable flat walking shoes and extra layers as it gets chilly on the island, and I also recommend a flashlight and an extra charger for your smart phone. My wife and I really enjoyed our night guided tour of Alcatraz prison with the local tour guide who was a volunteer.
The ferry ride was quick and smooth offering nice views of the San Francisco skyline and bridges. US park rangers were very helpful, engaging and informative and the audio guided tour was a good experience. Wonderful night tour experience with lots of history and interesting stories. Alcatraz prison is not like any other jail where inmates could escape from so easily. The tour is well worth the money that you spend. The big redwood trees in Muir Woods forest are impressive but the forest was a bit crowded as well as Alcatraz island.
Both places are very popular and worth the money. I would recommend starting the tour early to visit the redwoods and beat the bus tours and large crowds. This way you get to enjoy peace and quality time in Muir Woods before it gets too busy. Alcatraz prison is a former maximum-security prison located on Alcatraz Island, but the island is much smaller than we through.
I recommended in this tourist area after Alcatraz tour. Whether you live in San Francisco Bay Area or visiting San Francisco from the US or overseas, this day trip is a must-do for all ages and even for folks with mobility issues.
Alcatraz guided tour is amazing. Yet, it can be a little confusing unless you follow the guided trail step by step. The ferry ride to Alcatraz island offers beautiful views of San Francisco downtown, the islands in the bay like Angel island, Treasure island and bridges like the Golden Gate bridge. Be on time for the ferry departure or you get turned away as they only allow the exact time and departure stated on each ticket.
Alcatraz tickets are so valuable and hard to find, we were lucky we got a last-minute cancellation from Alcatraz Tours, otherwise we would have missed out on the best attraction in California.
Many visitors show up at last minute by the ferry terminal looking for tickets and willing to pay any price to get their hands-on tickets to Alcatraz, but these rare tickets and get sold out weeks and months in advance.
Definitely a 5-star experience for this Alcatraz and redwoods combo tour. Our tour guide drove us away from Muir Woods traffic jams to a small forest of redwoods in Marin County.
We were the only one a roaming through these tall and towering redwoods. It was so nice to enjoy nature without putting up with traffic and a horde of people pushing and shoving like in Muir Woods. This tour company and tour guide are highly recommended. We did not expect to see so much of the city in one day.
Jon, our tour guide, was very friendly, informative and an accommodating guide. Thank you so much for a great day! This tour is highly recommended. Reviewed yesterday. This day trip to Alcatraz island is awesome regardless how foggy the bay area can be.
We got to Pier 33 on time, and the tour guide took care of our Alcatraz tickets. Alcatraz island is a national park - there are park rangers on hand who help visitors with all kinds of information.
I recommend that you book this redwood and Alcatraz excursion in advance.
We had a hard time to find ferry tickets to Alcatraz until we landed on this website www. Their combo tour is worth the money and saved us the hassle and stress. The operator was very helpful, and their tour guide was knowledgeable and professional, yet very funny. I heard terrible things about this overcrowded place. Let this tour company take you to this hidden forest of redwoods somewhere nearby San Francisco in Marin Count.
Last, get inline early to Alcatraz ferry terminal so you can get the best seat in the house on the third floor! Our Muir Woods and Alcatraz combo tour was exactly what we needed as we only had one day in San Fran. This remote park of big redwoods is very beautiful and a fantastic option for families with young children.
I recommend this combo tour of Alcatraz and redwoods. It is worth the money and saves a lot of hassle and worries, as both places require special permits and advanced reservations. Despite Muir Woods traffic and large crowds, we enjoyed our trip.
But we loved Alcatraz island even more. This is a must-see attraction when vising the Bay area. I recommend this tour company.
The tour guide and this company are awesome, very reliable and responsive. We had a good experience and the tour with their tour guide was informative and fun. This is a great alternative tour experience when Alcatraz tickets are sold out.
Next time, we will anticipate and book Alcatraz tickets in advance. We were happy with this trip, as it combined our city private tour and the ferry cruise around Alcatraz island. We managed to get to see the city top attractions in a half-day tour, and that was the perfect way to do it. The cruise ship trip was over an hour, a trip that took us in the San Francisco bay, around Alcatraz Island, and under the Golden Gate Bridge. We had a trip the next day to Hearst Castle with this tour company, and it was our last day in California.
We had a blast in Big Sur, and we enjoyed Hearst castle tour very much. It was a long day trip, but well worth it. Alcatraz Island tour is outstanding, and the prison is a stunning place. This is my favorite attraction in San Francisco Bay Area. Book your Alcatraz ferry tickets in advance, as these valuable tickets get sold out weeks and months in advance, we booked our Alcatraz tickets two months in advance. Tour companies are obviously not allowed to sell Alcatraz tickets individually anymore, so we had to book Alcatraz prison tickets combined with a city tour.
Our tour guide, Jonathan, was amazing and fun. We highly recommend this hassle-free combo tour. I got to say, the energy and the impression you get when vising Alcatraz is something you need to experience for yourself. From the city tour to Alcatraz Island, we and our kids had an amazing adventure. It is a bit cold in San Francisco Bay in summer ironically. Book your Alcatraz tickets months in advance before you travel to San Francisco.
This is a must-see tourist attraction when visiting San Francisco and Northern California. A police officer from South Africa, who traveled with us on Alcatraz ferry, had a stop-over at SFO international airport. He joined us just to visit Alcatraz prison, and we had fun together. Dress in layers.
Ironically summer is not warm in San Francisco Bay, as weather is cool and gets foggy in the Bay. The views of Alcatraz from San Francisco are spectacular. This combo tour is a must-do and it saved us time and money.
Thank you, Mary. You are a great tour guided and very funny - our kids loved your jokes and stories about Alcatraz prison and San Francisco neighborhood. Alcatraz prison is just as portrayed in the Hollywood films about Frank Morris a movie starring Clint Eastwood about Alcatraz maximum-security prison.
No trip to San Francisco is complete without visiting Alcatraz Island. It took me 2 tours to Alcatraz before I felt the strong atmosphere and energy you get after stepping off Alcatraz cruises ferry and onto the dock. This city tour combined with Alcatraz is an exceptional combo trip, I recommend for all visitors. We were lucky to find availability for the Alcatraz tour. We booked this all-inclusive San Francisco guided tour combined with Alcatraz as a tour package.
It was a worry-free reservation all included, and the perfect way to indulge in San Francisco if you have limited time. It was a convenient, affordable, and fulfilling combo trip of the city top attractions and a self-guided tour of Alcatraz prison. A must-do when visiting the City by the Bay, and worth every penny you spend. Our tour guide drove us up to the Alcatraz ferry terminal, redeemed our Alcatraz tour voucher and issues our ferry tickets.
We had an extra 45 minutes before the ferry departure, so we had a quick snack at Alcatraz cafe at Pier 33, be prepared before you embark on Alcatraz ferry, no grocery or food service is available on Alcatraz! This is an incredible tourist attraction of San Francisco Bay area. If you plan on visiting San Francisco you got to add Alcatraz prison tour to your bucket-list, more than Muir Woods or Napa. Alcatraz Island history itself is a very interesting story, before it was ever used as a federal prison.
How anyone could even escape from this remote Island and maximum-security prison? The audio headphone guided tour is informative, the stories and sounds of prison officers makes the guided tour so real and the story comes to live. I took amazing pictures to show my friends in Japan. This trip is wonderful and recommended even for solo travelers like myself. This was our first visit to California and San Francisco.
We did a city tour with this tour company and found out how hard it was to get Alcatraz ticket. The experience lived up to our expectations and the reviews we had read about Alcatraz tours turned out to be so true.
This is a very serious and professional tour company, and they exceeded our expectations. Book your Alcatraz tickets immediately when you plan your trip to San Fran. The day tour to Alcatraz was not bad at all. The fascinating story of Alcatraz prison is phenomenal, and the city tour completed this package trip. And their tour guides are fun and professional. Book with this local tour company, and you will not be disappointed.
The city tour exceeded our expectations and our tour guide, Pat, certainly delivered. We recommend the private city tour where you can stop anywhere you want and visit the monument or neighborhood of your choice were bus tours are restricted.
We also recommend Alcatraz audio guide to explore this former jail. Reserve Alcatraz tickets in advance, this tour was so much better than I was expecting. You get a ferry ride from San Francisco Pier 33 to the Alcatraz island and then you get to visit Alcatraz former prison.
It was rainy and foggy that day, but still well worth the trip. The trip was very well run, and we were welcomed in the dock by a ranger who let us know some key information and rules before visiting the prison. I think they have like one ferry every 30 minutes. Alcatraz had a reputation for being the toughest prison in the country. How did all these top criminals like Al Capone survive it? I recommend doing the audio guided tour twice, if you have time. Why everybody is so crazy about Alcatraz prison tour?
Alcatraz Island is dim, cold, morbid, and crowded. We felt nothing, seen nothing, heard nothing that made it so appealing to our group, a bit overrated in our opinion. Why have criminals become victims and stars? They deserved to be incarcerated in Alcatraz prison! Some visitors were even asking for autographs from a former inmate of Alcatraz who was there that day, but this makes no sense to me.
But I can understand some visitors who are interested in criminology. He made our city tour very exciting and fun. He was very accommodating and attentive to our needs. He stopped the car half-way day down on Lombard street to take photographs of us in the middle of the street and took us to visit the fortune cookies in Chinatown.
That was fun! I also recommend stopping at the ferry building, this is a great place for the foodies and wine lovers, and we had a great time there. Alcatraz Island is an incredible tourist attraction. We did the tour with our kids, and they loved it too. The audio tour was well done, we took tons of pictures, hanged out and enjoyed the views of the city from Alcatraz Island. The views are spectacular from Alcatraz island. They are very steep and have no guards. We skipped some places while touring the city so we could take our kids to visit California Academy of Sciences located in the Golden Gate park.
This museum is very underrated. They got a World-class Aquarium, planetarium, and natural history Museum. The guided tour inside and on the existing roof appeals to all ages, and it was a wonderful experience.
I highly recommend it for families with young kids. This was a very interesting tour we took to Alcatraz Island. We had all heard of Alcatraz and had some sketchy knowledge of its history.
However, they have done a really good job of telling the real, non-Hollywood, history of the island prison. This tour company is well organized — everything from the city guided tour to the lines waiting to get on the ferry, embarking and disembarking, and setting up the visitors with audio tour headsets. You have an assigned time to leave on the ferry, but the return to the mainland is at your leisure.
The self-guiding audio tour was well done, and you can move at your own pace. This can help you avoid pockets of crowds. While there are parts of the island closed to the public, you pretty much have free reign to wander and explore the public areas at your own pace. It is a bit of hike up the road to the entrance to the prison and beginning of the tour.
There are also steps to maneuver once inside. This could be problematic for those with mobility issues. They do have a shuttle or tram that can take visitors up and back down. So, the tour can accommodate most visitors, even if some areas would not be accessible. Definitely worth the visit. Consider booking this San Francisco and Alcatraz prison combo tour. It only takes a couple of hours after the city tour and is an interesting spot to visit.
Thank you, Alcatraz Tours, and many thanks to our tour guide Victor. You guys are so passionate and knowledgeable. They have nothing local and so messy with no customer service. I have been to San Francisco many times but never went to Alcatraz. Everyone should do it once.
It was a very well organized and worry-free combo tour, all included. Berkeley is a beautiful city and the University of California is an amazing place to visit Alcatraz tour itself is a bucket-list destination which I can recommend to all visitors. We actually met the author of a book who was once incarcerated at Alcatraz during the escape and breakout. Very, very interesting. Need to get tickets well in advance! The hike up the hill is pretty steep, but if you take your time, anyone can do it.
We can now check Alcatraz tour off our bucket-list :- Yeah, we recommend this combo adventure of Alcatraz and city tour. We had nothing to worry about, we got picked up at our hotel, did the city private tour, and Alcatraz prison self-guided tour.
Worth every penny. This is a must do when visiting San Francisco Bay area. It begins with a custom city tour of San Francisco top sights and places all included Would advise you to line up early to board the ferry to get good seats. Once you reach the island, after a brief introduction, you are free to roam the island. My advice would be to go straight to the top for the audio tour, which is the best part of the experience.
The tour is awesome, and you learn so much about the prison life. Once you are done with that, you can walk around to other places like the gardens and the industries. Be careful with the return ferry, as the lines are usually very long to get on. Enjoy the views while coming back as well. Alcatraz tickets are often sold out weeks in advance. We were lucky that these guys accommodated us with our last-minute booking Even though the wooded trails were a bit wet for us to ride due to the fog, the experience was amazing, and we all enjoyed it very much.
The staff was very friendly. After the horseback ride, our fun and very nice tour guide drove us to Santa Cruz where we had lunch in a restaurant located on the Wharf.
We ordered a seafood platter which was fresh and yummy, and the views made it the perfect location for our family. For me personally, the highlight of our trip was our tour of a beautiful forest of big redwood trees in Santa Cruz mountains. My husband and I decided to book the combo tour of Alcatraz and city for our parents and in laws.
We were a group of 7 persons, and our local tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Booking a private SUV tour versus the public bus tour is the ideal way to see 4-times more sights and attractions than the bus tour option, and you get out as often as you want to visit places like Lombard street, the painted ladies, china beach, fort Miley, mission murals San Francisco is a beautiful city and Alcatraz island prison tour is a must-see for everyone.
This tour company was the only provider who had Alcatraz tickets available as all other tour companies we called were sold out. Alcatraz prison tickets are so hard to get, so watch out and ensure you do book them in advance. Also, be sure to eat before you get on Alcatraz ferry as there was no food available on Alcatraz island. We recently visited Alcatraz Island prison with our 4-year-old son.
He was not bored and loved the ferry ride and was running inside and outside Alcatraz prison like we never seen him before. My husband is a police officer and he loved this tour.
We recommend Alcatraz tour for all ages. Alcatraz Island tour and ferry tickets were sold out when we tried to book them online 6 weeks in advance. We tried every tour company in San Fran, but no luck.
Until we landed on www. We had to book a combo tour to get our hand on Alcatraz prison tickets, so we signed up for a horseback ride on the beach. It took place in Half- Moon Bay, and although it was a cool day it was worth it. The scenery along the Pacific Coast Highway is breathtaking. This tour company is very reliable, and their tour guide Mary was amazing! We felt like we had a friend in town - it was more than a tour - a real and fun experience.
She even drove us through the Golden Gate Park, and we stopped for a snack and beer tasting at the Beach Chalet, an ocean front restaurant with stunning view of ocean and the beach. She even drove us through the Golden Gate Park, we stopped for a snack and beer tasting at the beach chalet, an ocean front restaurant with stunning Views of ocean and the beach.
It was a worry-free reservation and turned out to be the perfect way to indulge in San Francisco we had little time on our hands This day trip to Alcatraz was a convenient, affordable, and fulfilling combo tour - a must-do when visiting the City by the Bay.
The private city tour covered quiet a lot of places we could have never managed to find on our own, and we stopped almost everywhere along the way Alcatraz island and Stanford University were on our list, and we did just that. This Alcatraz prison and Silicon Valley was a short-day trip and was a very good fit for us and our tight schedule.
Our sons get bored quickly with long day tours, but they were rather interested in both places. The guided tour we had at Stanford was totally private and we were transported in a golf cart as my husband is a Vet and was injured in Iraq. This was the ideal way to cover as much as possible of Stanford huge campus and without walking a lot.
The visitor center is well designed, and we had a guided tour with an Apple employee on site. We also visited google, Palo Alto and Stanford. I wish we had the whole day, but we had to head back to San Francisco to get there on time for our Alcatraz prison tour, which was the highlight of our day adventure. We were picked up by Pat, a nice Irish lady and a wonderful tour guide.
She drove us through Mill Valley where we stopped for breakfast before we visited Muir Woods - a peaceful small forest with big and towering redwood trees. The trail through Muir Woods is flat and easy, and there are paved paths for those wanting a casual stroll or more challenging trails. We did both trails along the creek, and our kids had no problem with the twisty paths and stairs although towering redwood trees. After Muir Woods, we had a lunch break at Stinson Beach, which was a great place for a picnic lunch.
We enjoyed the delicious fish tacos we ordered, everything was very fresh and sourced locally from Marin county. Near Stinson beach is Bolinas, where we and our kids went on horseback riding in the forest. This half-day private tour to Muir Woods was the perfect way to spend the morning away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and without traveling too far.
Muir Woods is definitely worth the trip. Never pass on the opportunity to visit Muir Woods national monument if you are ever in the San Francisco Bay area. The park is less crowded in the morning, and we were very lucky and enjoyed it before it got busy. All in all, a very quiet and wonderful experience. Our tour guide made this trip even more enjoyable as she took us to have a snack at Stinson Beach. The road is scenic and offers breathtaking views along the coast.
We tried to park our rental car there, but the park ranger in front of the gate very rudely turned us away and told us to get out The parking there is now for tour companies and commercial use only and requires special permits which sucks. Anyway, since there is no cell phone service at Muir Woods, we had to drive back to Sausalito, and park our rental car there.
We were glad to get hold of this tour company who accommodated us with such last-minute booking and picked us up in Sausalito. We finally managed to visit Muir Woods in the late afternoon, and that was for the best. The forest was almost empty, and it was definitely more peaceful. I recommend this company and Adam, our very nice tour guide. He made us feel very comfortable and we forgot our bad experience earlier with the US park rangers.
What a fantastic air-tour experience in a seaplane we had in the San Francisco Bay area! The pilot is super cool, experienced and very friendly. Everything looks so different from the sky. We also enjoyed our tour of Alcatraz prison very much. This was a great trip and well put together tour package.
We highly recommend this combo tour of Alcatraz and seaplane adventure to anyone. Absolutely worth every single penny. Book your tickets immediately! The day tour was not bad at all.
This is an incredible tourist attraction. The audio tour was well done, we took tons of photos and enjoyed the views of the city from Alcatraz Island. The views from Alcatraz are spectacular. A combination trip to Alcatraz and the city is a bonus and saves time. The tour was so much better than I was expecting. We hopped on Alcatraz ferry from San Francisco Pier 33, and once there, we were welcomed on the dock of Alcatraz island by a park ranger who let us know some key information and rules before visiting the prison.
What a fabulous way to spend the day in California wine country and Alcatraz island. The driver, Leo, was an expert tour guide with a fun and outgoing personality.
He made us feel so comfortable from the first minute we met him the lobby of our hotel. The SUV is luxurious and clean and allowed us access to places not allowed to van tours or large vehicles. He even started the day by driving us through Lombard street - a beautiful neighborhood with gorgeous flowers. We also made a stop at the Golden Gate bridge on the way to the Napa Valley.
This tour company has a distinguished relationship with excellent wineries in Napa Valley. We managed to visit 2 small wineries located off-the-beaten-path, that are not open to group and bus tours. We had a walking tour inside the cellars and cave, and we ended up with a food and wine paring experience.
This is the best way to learn how wine is made and how to taste the wine and pair it with right food. This private tour is the best way to go. You get to avoid commercial wineries and bus tours if you are looking for quality time. It was not cheap but worth every penny. When we got back to the San Francisco, we could barely see Alcatraz island due to dense fog which is obviously very common in the summer.
The ferry ride to the island was fun and short. Alcatraz prison audio tour is a must and highly recommended. This was best tour and tour guide we ever had.
He exceeded our expectations. We booked this 2-day tour package through Alcatraz Tours. On day one, we visited San Francisco and Alcatraz, and on day 2 we spend most of the day in Sonoma county where we visited a wild safari park.
