Superb experience all round. The van was comfy, our guide was a LEGEND. Muir Woods was quiet in the morning, got crowded later. Sausalito’s art galleries are worth a peek. Alcatraz is something else—standing in those cells is wild. Would recommend booking early for less crowds.

Def worth it for first-timers. The buses come often, and you can see all the stuff you’ve seen in movies. Alcatraz was the coolest part—my kids loved the audio guide. Little tip: get to the ferry early for best seats upstairs.

Everything went smoothly including getting our tickets. The tour itself was informative and enjoyable. I definitely recommend doing the audio experience on the island.

Did this with my family and everyone loved it. The woods are magical, Sausalito is fun, Alcatraz is fascinating. Everything went smoothly.

We appreciated the punctuality, the flexibility to return when we felt ready, the cleanliness, and the freedom to explore the site at our own pace. What we didn’t like was the lack of a Hebrew-language tour option — we would be happy if you could consider adding this in the future.
