    The tour itself was great, really enjoyed the commentary. Only downside was getting stranded at the vista point for the Golden Gate Bridge after being dropped off at 5pm and told another bus would come in 20 minutes max. Once it got to 6pm I realised no one was coming lol. I understand the company can’t control the traffic, but a contact number for those to call who get left behind would be beneficial as I couldn’t find one.

    The guide was personable, patient and knowledgeable. The views were great and well worth having someone else do the driving.

    Everything I’d hoped it would be. SF is beautiful at night from the bay and especially so at Christmas. Friendly staff and comfortable accommodations. Dress warm!

    My husband and I go to San Francisco a few times a year, and we always felt very familiar with the city. However, we learned so much from this tour! Tara was our guide/driver and she was so fun. We drove all around the city and discovered places we’d never seen before and a little history as well. This was a really fun tour!

    Great tour, great company, learned a lot. Cousin Al was a warm host and keen to speak to each individual person in the bus. The stops were appreciated as was the commentary. Great crossing paths with great storytellers.

    I took my 10 year old grandson on this tour . We came to see the Golden Gate Bridge and to see the Golden State Warriors and 49ers play ,and tour Oracle Park . I wasn’t sure how he would respond to this tour . He said he learned so much and it was fun. He loved it! Our guide Patrick was awesome . I would definitely recommend It❤️ Note to Patrick he said the music trivia needs to include music from 2014 &up🤣

    The academy is quite large and it has many diverse exhibits. Africa, the swamp, the aquarium, the tropical forest and the planetarium. We were not told we had to book a time slot for the planetarium so unfortunately we missed that exhibit. Very crowded but still able to move about. The on site cafeteria is a bit wanting though!

    The guide Brian was very nice, caring, and informative. He offered to take photos of us and was above and beyond with his courteous. We had good stops for bathroom breaks for those who are concerned about that. We saw so many highlights of San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz from the city view and many many places. Small group is wonderful. Loved this. Was a highlight of our week in San Francisco.

    Red & White runs on Christmas Day which was great for my friend and I as I was visiting over Christmas week. The Bridge-to-Bridge cruise was easy to book at good rates and comes with on-board informative commentary as well as a snack bar. I would definitely recommend going for it to get a bay view of the city of SF and to hear interesting snippets including audio from previous inmates of Alcatraz!

    Very interesting. We opted for the walking tour and it was challenging for us but we were able to do it and keep up. It was surprising how any people were on the boats and island.
    The buses were on time, sometimes standing room only.
