best way to spend the day! - Absolutely the best way to spend the day! My husband and i did not want the hassle or expense of renting a car and trying to navigate the sights. Not only was this tour the perfect way to hit the SF highlights as well as Muir Woods, Sausalito and Alcatraz- Alex, our tour guide, was phenomenal! He is so kind and knowledgeable and such a gracious host - we cannot recommend this tour enough! thank you SF Excursions and Alex!!

Wonderful! - Absolutely fantastic! The driver shared a lot of knowledge about San Fransisco. Beautiful day! The Muir Woods was serene. Had a stunning 2 mile hike though the woods. Would have loved an extra 30 minutes in Sausalito but had a wonderful lunch at the Spinnaker. Highly recommend!
