CANCELLATION POLICY

Very great audio tour of the cell block. Be sure to ask before climbing the Rock which buildings close early. I went to see one exhibit in the Industrial building and they were locking the door even though the island was open for 2 more hours. Wish I had know that before I climbed the steep ramps on bad knees. Otherwise it was very informative. Glad they are doing things to protect the wildlife there, beautify the grounds and restore some of the buildings. Definitely recommend the tour.

Was a good trip that didn't take up all day. Muir Woods was a nice easy hike, even the harder trail. Need to allow more time if you want to do a decent hike. Alcatraz was interesting and a must see, even if a return visit isn't required.

I loved it! Our guide was fantastic. She was full of fun and excited about what she was doing. We got to make a few stops for some amazing photos and enough time to check out some great places! Highly recommend for first timers.

The driver Kenneth made this trip. He was great company and a magnificent tour guide. I could have listened to him all day long. Sausalito was beautiful. Alcatraz was very interesting. Found the time at Muir Woods to be too long and the time in Sausalito too short however great day had.

Muir Wood is awesome. Beautiful redwoods along a nice boardwalk path. Just enough time to walk down the path aways and stop in the gift shop. Would have liked to stay and go hiking in the woods there, maybe catch the next bus back. Could have skipped Sausollito. It's a charming artsy touristy town with nothing to do except walk down the sidewalk. They time it so you will lunch there. Could have skipped and had more time with the redwoods.

Great experience. Bus driver was knowledgeable and shared information along our way to destination. Only issue was driver had to be reminded to take Alcatraz passengers all the way to Pier33 and not be dropped off earlier.
