“Tour guide amazing insightful and funny. Loved the Muir woods ... breath taking. Nice spot to have lunch but would recommend you buy sandwiches ahead of time from the Encore cafe at the pick up point.

“We don't have enough good things to say about this tour and our guide, Sully. We started out with a really short tour of a few things down by the wharf, specifically the Palace of Fine Arts. We had no idea this existed and were in awe of the beauty and architecture. During the ride, Sully gave us a history of San Francisco which was very interesting and informative. We stopped by the Golden Gate Bridge for pictures and then headed to Muir Woods. Muir Woods was breathtaking. If you're on the fence about whether you should go, you definitely should. We stayed for about 90 minutes. The Viator description…”
