I loved it .I've been thinking about seeing San Francisco and red woods for years.When I finally made the decision ,my son who in the meantime become a 21 year old college student ,went with me and it become the best vacation we ever had ! San Francisco and Muir Woods are just magical and Alcatraz tour was something I didn't plan on ,but turned out to be incredibly interesting .great combination and very well organized.I recommend wholeheartedly !
Both day's guides were great, Sergio the bus driver for the Muir Woods was hillarious
I would have put 5 stars but our city tour guide was not the greatest. He was all about the arts which is great but didn't do much else. I really wanted to see the Full House house or Mrs Doubtfire house but he doesn't like to do that so saw flowers. Would highly recommend the rest! Had time to enjoy the retreat of the trip! Really made some great memories! Also we got the wine flight and it was amazing! Do this Trip! So worth it!
