Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The Alcatraz + Bay Cruise were two great experiences.
    Tripadvisor did though not make it clear that it was two different tours, and getting hold of the tickets to the Bay Tour was a total disaster.
    The tours themselves were excellent, but I would recommend that you buy, at least the bay tour directely at site.

    We went on this trip with Greylines bus tours on 1/12/24. Our bus driver, George ( I think that's his name), was so funny, entertaining & informative. We travelled from Australia & had never been to the US before. Muir woods is beautiful with all the giant redwood tree's. There are lovely paths to walk along & the scenery is breathtaking. Then we headed to the beautiful bayside area of Sausalito, such a pretty place to take a walk along the waterfront, or eat in one of the many restaurants. We had the option of going back in the bus, or returning on the ferry. We chose the ferry. If you choose this option, make sure you have the uber app, as you will be dropped at pier 1 & not the popular pier 39 where most of the taxi's are, as we were staying at Union square. If you choose to go back by the bus, you will be dropped at you're pick up point, had we known this, we would have chosen this option.
    We loved our tour, it's only a half day tour, so you have time to do other things during the day. I would recommend this lovely tour.

    Excellent choice to see the city. Got the ticket from a nice chap called Blake. Only down point, there was no air conditioning on the bottom half of the bus. It was 33 degrees and burning to sit on the top of the bus

    What a great tour! The weather was perfect as were the wineries, their products and the hosts. Our bus driver was very knowledgeable and share a lot of interesting information about California and the area along the route.

    A great way to spend a couple of hours in an evening, and gorgeous to see the city lit up at night! I only had 1.5 days in SF so this was a very worthwhile tour! Bought an extra hoody before boarding which was grateful for (as did get a little cold and windy, especially by Golden Gate Bridge) and meant could spend pretty much all of the trip on the upper deck for the best views! Lovely evening, really glad I did it - recommend it.

    Awesome trip. Our guide was amazing and shared interesting facts with us as well as recommended local restaurants and attractions that we used for our remaining trip. We had bathroom breaks and he had snacks and water. I don’t recommend doing Alcatraz with it. We did our Alcatraz tour separate and it gave us more time and we left earlier in the day.

    The Alcatraz tour was so awesome. The views were beautiful on the ferry ride over to the island and the audio tour was so interesting.
    Biking across the Golden Gate Bridge was an amazing experience too.
    The bike shop owner also gave us some excellent San Francisco sightseeing suggestions .

    We were visiting San Francisco with friends as a surprise for my 60th birthday & Anita had booked this as part of our stay - well what can I say! This was brilliant! When the bus first turned up at our hotel, we weren’t sure what to think! It’s an old VW camper van, but that’s not what made the whole tour extraordinary - it was our tour guide, Santa Dave! What a lovely lovely man, so friendly & knowledgeable about all of the sights he took us to visit & we really did have a ball with him. We even requested to do another tour with him that night to see the city at night - & wow! How beautiful did San Francisco look all lit up! This is a great way to see the city by day & by night. I’m so glad that we had Santa Dave to do our - he is absolutely brilliant & really made our day 🥰. Well worth booking, a must do as far as I’m concerned!

    Fab day out visiting the Redwoods, Sausalito and the Golden Gate Bridge. Our tour guide Dustin was informative and entertaining and as it was a small group took us to a few extra spots of interest. Well worth doing.
