Perfect Personalized Program + Pizza - We did a City/Alcatraz combo tour the Monday before Thanksgiving, so we had Randy the tour guide to ourselves and the streets were generally clear of traffic, which was great and made for a full day. Randy drove us around in a minivan, which wasn’t as charming or memorable as a double-decker bus but which did allow us to cruise around parts of San Francisco that other companies’ larger vehicles wouldn’t have been able to navigate. (In fact, if you were thinking of moving to SF, this would have been the best way to explore neighborhoods and get some keen real estate insights from the friendly, chatty and highly knowledgeable Randy.) We saw all the tourist highlights in a reasonable amount of time, could personalize the agenda as needed, got several restaurant recommendations and were dropped off seamlessly at the Alcatraz ferry terminal with plenty of time to grab lunch before boarding. Alcatraz itself was also very much worthwhile - though it certainly helped that we had perfect weather and moderate crowds. It’s nice that you’re not tied to a particular ferry schedule once you’re there and can take as much or as little time on the island as you’d like and self-guide around the facility at your own pace. When we got back to the terminal, we headed straight for the North Beach pizza place Randy had suggested and ended the day with two absolutely delectable slices….

Alcatraz was a great... - Alcatraz was a great experience. The history of Alcatraz was very interesting. The only thing that was crazy was all of the flies. I guess because the weather was warm the flies were in abundance. You had to use paper fans to try to keep them off you.

Excellent trip - Our tour guide is very familiar with the history of the city and explained very clearly, which helped us get to know the city better. Really highly recommended! However, the volume of our guide was a little too small for us to hear when we sat in the back seat!

A fabulous day in San Francisco - Good overview of San Francisco with stops at Dolores Mission park and the Painted Ladies. Beautiful view point over the Golden Gate Bridge albeit shrouded in fog when we were there. The Alcatraz trip was fabulous!
