We just had a blast taking our 4-year-old dynamo to Alcatraz Island! Would you believe it? Our little dude was pumped for the ferry ride and sprinting around Alcatraz like a whirlwind. Talk about a sight to behold! My hubby, a police officer, was over the moon with this tour. Trust us, folks—Alcatraz is a winner for all ages! Daria signing off with a thumbs-up!

Alcatraz and San Francisco - the best part of our vacation in California

Alcatraz goes beyond! Native American legacy and the Great Escape added depth. The self-guided tour immersed us, comfy shoes needed for exploration. Witnessing past remnants was fascinating. Frank Morris's escape saga was riveting. For history buffs and movie lovers, it's a must-visit. A gem not to miss in San Francisco's tapestry of tales

Anochecer en Alcatraz: ¿ espectacular o simplemente oooh, muy espeluznante?

Alcatraz nocturno: ¿Aterrador o fascinante? Mi experiencia inclinó más hacia "oooh, espeluznante" que aterrorizante. Sombras, ecos del pasado, pero fuimos un grupo de intrépidos compañeros por lo que resultó más emocionante que aterrador. Si hubiera ido solo, claro que hubiera preferido explorar la isla de día y disfrutar del sol y la historia sin la atmósfera espeluznante cuando oscure. ¿si usted Busca emoción y le gusta echarle un vistazo oscuro? El tour nocturno es su mejor opción para una dosis de adrenalina. ¡Saludos!

Une excellente expérience ! Un excellent choix

Guide exceptionnel à San Francisco. Déjeuner élégant à Sausalito, pas de fast-foods, rendant l'expérience exclusive.

Visite privée abordable et enrichissante.

Is Alcatraz Day or Night Tour Worth the Trip? How to Decide

Night tour at Alcatraz was the right choice! Spooky aura, different vibe, and the best kind of goosebumps. Quirks? Some areas off-limits, windy/chilly, foggy—layer up! Paired with a city tour, worth every dime. Book the night tour in advance; it's a winner for spook-factor. Alcatraz is a must for any San Fran visitor!

Interesante Tour Combinado de Muir Woods y Alcatraz

Nuestro tour combinado de Muir Woods y Alcatraz fue la escapada perfecta en San Francisco antes de partir hacia Napa Valley para la boda de un amigo. Vale totalmente la pena, sin duda. Los colosales árboles de Muir Woods eran impresionantes, ¡pero vaya, estaban llenos de gente! La Isla de Alcatraz, también tenía su parte de multitudes. Aun así, esta dupla es imprescindible, sin lugar a dudas. Lugares populares, pero que valen cada centavo. El que madruga, Dios lo ayuda. Sugerimos empezar el día temprano para vencer a los autobuses y a las multitudes en Muir Woods. Así puedes disfrutar de su encanto sereno antes de que llegue la muchedumbre. ¡Alcatraz, la antigua prisión de máxima seguridad, está en una isla más pequeña de lo que uno piensa! Un rápido paseo en ferry de unos 20 minutos desde Fisherman's Wharf, y ya estás allí. Consejo práctico: los carros eléctricos de Alcatraz son un salvavidas para las subidas empinadas. Mi abuela no pudo hacer la caminata, pero ese carro fue un gran cambio para ella. Después, paseamos por Fisherman's Wharf, exploramos las tiendas de recuerdos, disfrutamos de delicias del mar y avistamos las juguetonas focas. Recomiendo mucho este lugar después de las aventuras en Alcatraz. Angélica O. Ciudad de México, México"

Our Muir Woods and Alcatraz combo tour was the perfect San Francisco sprint before jetting off to Napa Valley for a friend’s wedding. It's a bang for your buck, no doubt. The colossal redwoods in Muir Woods were stunning, but boy, were they popular! Alcatraz Island, too, had its fair share of crowds. Nevertheless, this duo is a must-do, hands down. Popular spots, but worth every penny.

Early bird catches the worm! We'd suggest kickstarting the day early to beat the buses and masses at Muir Woods. That way, you can soak up the serene charm before the crowds pour in.

Alcatraz, the former maximum-security prison, sits on a smaller island than you’d think! A quick ferry ride of about 20 minutes from Fisherman's Wharf, and you're there. Pro tip: Alcatraz electric carts are a savior for uphill treks. My grandma couldn't make the hike, but that cart was a game-changer for her. Afterward, we strolled around Fisherman’s Wharf, dove into the souvenir shops, relished seafood delights, and caught sight of the playful seals. Highly recommend this spot post-Alcatraz adventures.

Definitely A 5-Star: Alcatraz & Redwoods Experience

Without a doubt, a 5-star adventure! Whether you're a local or a globe-trotter hitting San Francisco, this day trip is an absolute must. Alcatraz Island is remarkably accessible, even for those with mobility concerns—it's an eye-opener in every sense! The guided tour? Mind-blowing! Just make sure to stay on the path—things can get a bit muddled otherwise.
The ferry ride is a spectacle in itself, offering breathtaking views of San Francisco and its neighboring treasures like Angel Island and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Timing is key; miss your slot, and you’re out! Alcatraz tickets are like gold dust—hard to find! We lucked out with a last-minute cancellation through Alcatraz Tours; otherwise, we'd have missed this gem.
A definite 5-star affair thanks to the Alcatraz and redwoods combo tour. Our guide steered us clear of Muir Woods’ chaos to a secluded redwood haven in Marin County. Just us and those colossal redwoods—no traffic jams, no crowds. I’ve been to Muir Woods, and let me tell you, I much preferred our alternative redwood groves in Marin.

Kudos to this tour company and guide—highly recommended!

Awesome Alcatraz Island & Redwoods Combo Day Trip

I’m glad we booked Alcatraz Island and Redwoods combo tour, it was incredible, even with the foggy Bay Area setting the scene. Arriving at Pier 33, our guide sorted our Alcatraz tickets smoothly. No stress about parking or reservations, just a fantastic tour before we hopped on the ferry to Alcatraz prison. The self-guided audio tour within the cells immersed us in the prison's history. Hearing echoes of guards and inmates felt surreal, offering a glimpse into this remote and eerie federal facility. Don't forget to grab those headphones at the hilltop entrance, and for those with mobility challenges, the 'SEAT' electric tram's a lifesaver. Alcatraz Island being a national park means you've got park rangers handy for all the info you need. Booking this redwood and Alcatraz tour ahead was wise. It was a struggle to find ferry tickets until we stumbled upon www.alcatraztoursf.com. Their combo was a game-changer, saving us stress and hassle. The staff were helpful, and our guide was a treasure—knowledgeable, professional, and hilariously entertaining, especially for our kids. Don't bother with Muir Woods; we've heard it's overrun. Let this tour lead you to a hidden gem of redwoods in Marin County, somewhere near San Francisco. I can't recall the name, but we had the entire place to ourselves—massive trees and a picturesque landscape. A hot tip: line up early at the Alcatraz ferry terminal for the prime seats on the third floor! An absolute must.

Muir Woods and Alcatraz combo tour

Our Muir Woods and Alcatraz combo tour was just what we needed for our single day in San Francisco. The entire tour was impeccably organized, giving us every bit of value for our money. Muir Woods National Monument is an absolute gem that's worth the detour, especially for families with young ones. The colossal redwoods make it a stunning spot. I highly recommend this Alcatraz and redwoods combo tour; it's a money-saver and hassle-free, considering the special permits and advanced reservations required for both places.

                     Franck V. from Montreal, Canada

 

Alcatraz Exceeded Expectations!

Amidst the hustle and bustle at Muir Woods, Alcatraz Island stood out as the highlight of our trip. It’s an absolute must-see if you’re in the Bay area. I highly vouch for this tour company; their guides are fantastic—reliable, quick to respond, and filled with engaging stories. Our trip was not just informative but incredibly enjoyable too.

"Redwoods, Houseboats & Alcatraz: Mary's Marvelous Adventure!"

Our adventure with Mary was beyond amazing! We kicked off at the majestic Muir Woods Redwoods Forest, where Mary’s insights made those towering redwoods even more awe-inspiring. Mill Valley and the quirky Sausalito houseboats added flair to our journey.

The climax? Alcatraz in the afternoon! With Mom and my sisters, Mary’s storytelling brought the prison's history to life. The audio tour was top-notch, easy for all to enjoy. It was an immersive experience, mixing eerie tales with breathtaking island views.

Mary made every moment thrilling and educational. From nature's wonders to historical tales, each stop was enriched by her expertise. A massive thanks to Mary for crafting a day bursting with unforgettable memories!

We highly recommend this tour company—easy booking, worry-free fun. This trip was a birthday treat for Mom's trip from Alabama to the Bay Area.

10 stars!: Pure serenity and nature at its finest!

This half-day private tour to Muir Woods was an absolute ripper to kickstart the morning, giving us a breather from the city chaos without a fair dinkum trek. Muir Woods is fair dinkum worth the gander. Never miss out on a squiz at Muir Woods national monument if you're ever in the San Francisco Bay area. The park's deadset less packed in the morning, and we were chuffed to bits enjoying it before the rush. All up, a corker of a quiet and ripper experience.

Our tour guide made this trip even more bonza by taking us for a snack at Stinson Beach. The drive's a beauty, offering stunning views along the coast.

Be sure to plan your visit to Muir Woods and book in advance!

So, imagine this: we roll up to the park all excited, but bam! A park ranger with an attitude gives us the boot, saying, "Nope, no entry without online booking!" Insert eye roll. The parking's all fancy now, strictly for tours and bigwig commercial stuff. Bummer, right?

Now, cue the adventure! We zip back to Sausalito, park our rental ride, and, lucky us, stumble upon this awesome tour company. Last-minute heroes, they swoop in, pick us up, and off we go!

Finally, Muir Woods in the late afternoon—the jackpot! The forest's practically our private retreat, peaceful and serene. Shoutout to Adam, our tour guide extraordinaire! He's the real MVP, turning our ranger run-in frown upside down. Super chill and made us forget that park ranger drama.

So, here's the golden nugget of wisdom: plan ahead, snag those reservations, and you'll be in for a treat at Muir Woods!

Definitely, do plan your visit to Muir Woods and book in advance!

Muir Woods Magic & Alcatraz fun

Our adventure to Muir Woods National Monument was absolutely fun , and it's all thanks to the stellar tour guide who took our experience to the next level. Unfortunately, his name escapes us, but his excellence surely won't.

First things first, the ride there was not your average journey. Picture this: a gleaming Mercedes BMW van that looked like it just rolled off a showroom floor. It was so clean you could eat off it – a rare sight for any tour vehicle.

As we embarked on our Muir Woods escapade, our guide didn't just steer the van; he steered our minds with a treasure trove of information. I'm talking history, nature facts, and trivia that kept us hooked throughout the trip. Kudos to Viator for hooking us up with this gem of a guide.

Now, the cherry on top happened when we, in our absent-minded bliss, left our sunglasses behind in the van. We only realized it when we were already onto the next leg of our journey. But here's where our guide turned superhero – he not only called us but went above and beyond, driving all the way to our hotel to personally deliver the forgotten shades. Talk about service!

Muir Woods was nothing short of enchanting. The towering redwoods, the crisp air, and the serene atmosphere – it's a nature lover's dream come true. The walk was totally worth it, and we soaked in every bit of the woods' magic.

In a nutshell, our Muir Woods Forest Morning Tour was a slam dunk, and our mystery guide deserves a standing ovation. If you're up for an adventure that's both informative and downright fun, this tour is the one. Alcatraz Island tour goes without saying , a must-see attraction in SF bay ,the audio guided tour is well done, and the ferry ride was easy and smooth. Can't recommend it enough!

Alcatraz Day Tour with Muir Woods—An Unforgettable San Francisco Adventure

Our plans to visit Muir Woods in San Francisco got postponed due to the pandemic, and we're thankful for this company's flexibility in accommodating our changes. San Francisco, with its world-class restaurants, breathtaking scenery, and captivating culture, is a must-visit city that we highly recommend. As we finally made it to Muir Woods, we were delighted to explore the forest's numerous trails, catering perfectly to our love for hiking. Kudos to this business for providing an exceptional Muir Woods experience.

Our dream of experiencing the iconic redwood forest in Marin County became a reality, all thanks to the pre-booked tour that seamlessly included a visit to Alcatraz. The tour bus driver went above and beyond, offering invaluable suggestions for our journey. While uphill hikes aren't our forte, the recommendations led us to the Cathedral and Bohemian groves, offering a different perspective. Numerous stops along the way allowed us to appreciate the majestic redwoods, creating a humbling experience. Note that the Hillside loop, though popular, wasn't paved.

The Alcatraz segment involved some steep hills, but a mini tram service made the ascent manageable. We advise dressing in layers to combat all weather conditions during this tour.

In summary, this tour, encompassing both Alcatraz and Muir Woods, comes highly recommended for those seeking an enriching and diverse San Francisco adventure.

Abrázando la Naturaleza y la Historia: Un Viaje a Dos Atracciones Icónicas

Después de años de anticipación, finalmente llegamos tanto a Muir Woods como a Alcatraz. Nos sorprendió saber que se requería reservar con anticipación, pero estuvimos agradecidos de haberlo hecho. Desde el proceso de reserva hasta las propias excursiones, todo transcurrió sin problemas y sin ningún problema. El Sendero Canopy View en Muir Woods es imprescindible para aquellos que buscan una perspectiva diferente de los imponentes árboles de secuoya. Al salir de Muir Woods, también nos tomamos el tiempo para visitar el mirador de la playa en la carretera costera. Las vistas del océano desde el acantilado son simplemente increíbles. Nuestro guía turístico, Jon, fue fantástico y tenía respuestas para cualquier pregunta que le lanzáramos. Hizo nuestra experiencia más agradable. Mientras que el clima en Muir Woods era fresco pero no frío, Alcatraz estaba envuelto en niebla y viento. Sin embargo, aún valió la pena la visita. ¡Nos encantó! Es importante vestirse en capas, con un abrigo, chamarra o chaqueta para mantenerse abrigado. Recomiendo encarecidamente este viaje combinado para todos los que le gustan de la historia y son amantes de la naturaleza .

Immersive Adventures: A Memorable Day at Alcatraz and Beyond

Let me paint the picture of our incredible day at Alcatraz with my husband—it was an absolute thrill! The star of the show was undoubtedly the Alcatraz audio tour named 'Doing Time: The Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour.' This tour wasn't your average walk-through; they handed out these neat audio devices right there at the prison, which really immersed us in the whole experience. We wandered through the cells, hearing the stories and history—it was spine-tingling and fascinating all at once. We were so relieved we decided to book this tour in advance. It made our day so much smoother, and with Alcatraz being such a hot ticket, it spared us the stress of uncertainty. What added a whole new layer of enjoyment to our trip was our tour guide. They weren't just a guide but a whole package of entertainment! From driving us to Muir Woods and Sausalito to sharing quirky stories and little-known facts, they made the journey fun and took care of all of us like a pro. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it made the whole day even more memorable. Altogether, the Alcatraz tour coupled with our guide's charm made it a day to remember—a blend of history, adventure, and some unexpected laughs. We left feeling like we'd truly experienced something special.

“Unforgettable Journey: Muir Woods and Alcatraz Day Trip Delight!"

Our day trip to Muir Woods and Alcatraz was nothing short of spectacular! Buddy, our guide (I think he's a San Fran native), was an absolute legend! His knack for spinning tales and sharing fascinating tidbits about every nook and cranny along our route was just brilliant. The towering redwoods in Muir Woods? Mind-blowing! And those easy-breezy trails? Perfect for our fam-jam adventure!

Sausalito was a sight for sore eyes, and the boat ride to Alcatraz? Talk about picture-perfect—Golden Gate Bridge, Oakland Bay Bridge—seen 'em all from the waterside! Alcatraz's self-guided tour? Top-notch and super user-friendly. Even our 11- and 9-year-olds were digging the island's history. The folks there were ultra-friendly, and boy, did they keep the place spick and span!

A small word of caution, though—San Francisco parking can be a bit of a hassle. Sadly, our car got a visit from the break-in fairy near the piers. Daytime, nighttime—no immunity! Pro tip: Leave no treasures in your vehicle. I'd suggest parking at a Fisherman's Wharf hotel or even crashing there; it's a stone's throw from Alcatraz. Oh, and this tour company was right—renting a car was a slippery move. Those hilly streets can be a wallet buster with parking fees hitting a wild $80 a day!

All said and done, it was a blast, and I'd shout from the rooftops—I mean, review pages—about this tour to anyone hitting up San Francisco!

"Unforgettable Adventures: Alcatraz, Muir Woods, and Beyond!"

What a day we had! Our gang embarked on an epic journey exploring Alcatraz, Muir Woods, and the charming Sausalito, and it was nothing short of unforgettable. First off, Muir Woods—those colossal redwoods left us absolutely spellbound. The hike to Bridge 4 and along the less-crowded creek was like stepping into a forest wonderland. The fog kept us from Muir Beach, but no worries, we had a delightful lunch break in Sausalito instead. That seaside town? Pure magic! Alcatraz and San Francisco made for stunning views.

Alcatraz stole the spotlight! Trust us, it's a must-see in the Bay Area. We lucked out with a combo tour inclusive of Alcatraz tickets. Heed our advice: budget a good 2-3 hours to soak in the prison and island vibes—inside and out. Oh, and bring those cozy layers because Alcatraz Island can get a bit nippy and breezy.

Quick tip: Pay attention to your ferry—specific boats are ticket-specific. However, on the way back, any ferry from Alcatraz to San Fran will do. Heads up, though—no munching allowed on the island, so pack some water or grab a bite from the ferry snack bar. And let me tell you, the ferry ride? Epic skyline views—Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, and the cityscape.

The Alcatraz audio tour? Superb! But if you're COVID-conscious, download the Alcatraz app for your own phone tour. Kudos to the staff—they were super on it with the cleaning protocols for the audio gadgets.

All in all, a day to remember! Muir Woods' beauty paired with Alcatraz's gripping history? The ultimate duo for an epic San Francisco adventure. You won't regret it—promise!

“A Lovely Family Trip to Alcatraz from San Francisco”

Our family's jaunt to Alcatraz Island was a total game-changer during our San Francisco adventure! Cruising on that ferry to the island was like getting a backstage pass to the city's stunning skyline and the sparkling bay. Once we set foot on the island, we grabbed our audio tour sets, all set for our adventure.

Let me tell you, that audio tour? It was like a storytelling magic show! We were glued to our headsets, soaking in all the jaw-dropping tales about the prison's history and the legendary characters who called it home. Our kiddos were gobsmacked hearing about those daring escape tales—it was like they were on a treasure hunt for secrets around every corner!

But wait, there's more! We didn't just stick to the cells; oh no, we were island explorers! The lighthouse? Check. The gardens? Check. Each nook and cranny felt like a page from a gripping storybook.

And the cherry on top? Walking through the prison yard was surreal! Standing where the legends once stood, taking in those epic views of the city and the bay—it was a picture-perfect moment that took our breath away.

Honestly, our entire gang had a blast on Alcatraz Island. It's a must-do if you're in San Francisco with kids. The blend of history, nature, and those knockout views? It's etched in our memory box as one of those 'forever' experiences.

"Maravillosa Aventura: Muir Woods y Alcatraz, ¡Increíbles!"

¡Mi día en el Monumento Nacional Muir Woods y la Isla de Alcatraz fue sencillamente increíble! El recorrido con audio en Alcatraz fue fascinante y valió totalmente cada centavo invertido para explorar esa prisión llena de historia. Aunque algunos edificios y áreas estaban cerrados por la temporada de anidación de aves, aún quedaba mucho por descubrir dentro y fuera de la prisión. ¡Sugiero llevar zapatos resistentes para caminar, ya que hay algunas subidas empinadas!

A pesar de que Alcatraz fue asombroso, lo más sobresaliente de nuestra aventura fue el paseo con Adam en el Monumento Nacional Muir Woods. ¡Es asombroso ver esos majestuosos secuoyas que tienen más de un siglo! También te recomiendo hacer una parada en una casa flotante en Sausalito si te apasiona la fotografía de paisajes. ¡Es un lugar simplemente hermoso!

Los guardaparques fueron extremadamente amigables y bien informados. Sin embargo, algunas áreas en Alcatraz pueden llenarse en ciertos momentos, y parecía que algunas personas no entendían bien cómo formarse adecuadamente, usar mascarilla o mantener la distancia social. A pesar de eso, en general lo pasamos genial.

Adam, nuestro guía, ¡fue excepcional! Hablaba español con fluidez y tenía un conocimiento impresionante sobre la zona. Si tienes la oportunidad, ¡te recomiendo mucho hacer un recorrido con él! En resumen, mi día en el Monumento Nacional Muir Woods y la Isla de Alcatraz fue inolvidable. ¡Si estás en San Francisco, definitivamente no te puedes perder esta excursión de un día!

"Alcatraz and Muir Woods: A Day of Unforgettable Adventures"

Our day was packed with adventures! We began at Muir Woods and Sausalito, then hopped over to Alcatraz Island on the combo tour. The audio tour felt like having our own personal guide, unveiling the rich history of these places. It was incredibly detailed, taking us through all the nooks and crannies while sharing stories from former inmates and guards. The tour guide was super cool, walking us through the Muir Woods Forest, hiking with us at the Muir Beach overlook, and uncovering hidden gems like the houseboat community in Sausalito.

After Pier 39 dropped us off, we caught the 2:15 pm boat to Alcatraz. The staff there were fantastic, going the extra mile to dive deeper into the history—totally unexpected and awesome! Alcatraz itself was a treasure trove of stories and beautiful spots, on and off the usual paths. And can I just say, the boat ride there was a blast—smooth sailing all the way!

Pro tip: Kickstart your tour with Muir Woods Park. Mornings are tranquil with fewer crowds—a peaceful escape that’s not to be missed!

"Exploring Muir Woods Park and Alcatraz Island—A Mind-Blowing Adventure!"

Venturing into Muir Woods Park and Alcatraz Island blew our expectations out of the water. Muir Woods was an unexpected gem, and the park's natural beauty was like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. A serene and picturesque haven, it's a must-visit for anyone seeking tranquility amidst stunning landscapes.

Alcatraz Island was a star in its own right. The buzz and excitement surrounding the island were infectious, and the two-hour deep dive into its history with the audio tour was a real treat. While we wished to explore more renovated structures, the tour itself was an intriguing dive into the island's captivating past. The boat ride to the island was a refreshing bonus, complemented perfectly by the splendid weather.

Delving into the nitty-gritty of prisoners' daily lives, from dining spots to yard routines, was an eye-opener. And let's not forget the island's offerings in food and drinks—quite the added perk! The island staff's friendly demeanor and helpfulness added an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience. For anyone wandering through San Francisco, Muir Woods Park and Alcatraz Island are non-negotiable stops on the itinerary. It's not just history lessons but an ode to the region's natural splendor—a blend of both that's hard to find elsewhere.

Original review in Spanish: ¡Muir Woods y la Isla Alcatraz: una aventura que nos dejó boquiabiertos! Adentrarse en el Parque Muir Woods y la Isla Alcatraz superó todas nuestras expectativas. Muir Woods resultó ser una joya inesperada, con una belleza natural que parecía un tesoro escondido esperando a ser descubierto. Un refugio sereno y pintoresco, es visita obligada para cualquiera que busque tranquilidad en medio de paisajes impresionantes.

La Isla Alcatraz brilló por sí sola. El ambiente y la emoción que rodean la isla eran contagiosos, y sumergirse durante dos horas en su historia con el tour de audio fue un verdadero placer. Aunque nos hubiera gustado explorar más estructuras renovadas, el tour en sí fue una inmersión intrigante en el cautivador pasado de la isla. El paseo en barco hacia la isla fue un bono refrescante, complementado perfectamente por el espléndido clima.

Adentrarnos en los detalles de la vida diaria de los prisioneros, desde los lugares para comer hasta las rutinas en el patio, fue revelador. ¡Y no olvidemos las opciones de comida y bebida en la isla, todo un lujo adicional! La actitud amigable y servicial del personal de la isla agregó un extra de disfrute a nuestra experiencia.

Para cualquiera que esté de paseo por San Francisco, el Parque Muir Woods y la Isla Alcatraz son paradas obligatorias en el itinerario. No se trata solo de lecciones de historia, sino un homenaje a la espléndida belleza natural de la región, una combinación difícil de encontrar en otro lugar.

Alcatraz Adventure, Muir Woods & Sausalito Stroll: A Day of Discovery

What a day at Alcatraz! Walking through the prison at our own pace, listening to that audio tour—it was seriously gripping. Learning about the history and the stories in those walls? Totally spellbinding. You could really feel how cramped those cells were for the inmates. And the island's beauty and the views of San Francisco? They added this whole extra level of wonder.

Before Alcatraz, we hit up Muir Woods & Sausalito—a cute town with tons of cool shops, cafes, and amazing places to eat. We had some incredible seafood at the local restaurants, a total treat for our taste buds. Roaming around, checking out shops, grabbing a few souvenirs—it all just added to the fun. This trip had a bit of everything: history, natural beauty, and that local charm. The tour was so well-organized, giving us plenty of free time to soak up every moment. It made for a day we won't forget.

Tip: Bring extra layers for the cool afternoon at Alcatraz and pack some snacks since there's no food available there!

"Histórias na Trilha: Aventura em Alcatraz e Muir Woods"

Na semana passada, nossa aventura para Alcatraz e Muir Woods foi sensacional, um verdadeiro mimo do norte da Califórnia. Se você estiver dando uma passada por San Francisco, não consigo falar o bastante sobre reservar o passeio combinado de Alcatraz e Muir Woods. Esses dois lugares são completamente diferentes e são uma experiência e tanto ao vivo. A reserva foi super fácil, e o passeio em si foi muito bem organizado. E, cara, o Leo, nosso guia, foi sensacional. Ele tornou tudo incrivelmente animado e prestativo, duplicando a diversão.

Muir Woods foi como entrar num mundo encantado na floresta, caminhar ao lado do Leo por horas, explorar as profundezas da mata, até encarar a trilha do dossel. Aquela caminhada de 3 milhas? Pura magia para apreciar as paisagens de tirar o fôlego, especialmente enquanto caminhávamos até o Mirante de Muir Beach pela Pacific Coast Highway. Está gravado na minha memória para sempre.

Depois da caminhada, corremos para o Salito's Crab House & Prime Rib, nos deliciando com carnes e frutos do mar fresquinhos e suculentos. Uma refeição digna de campeões antes da nossa escapada para Alcatraz.

E Alcatraz? Duas histórias em uma. O passeio pelo "rochedo"? Fascinante e informativo. O áudio da Casa de Celas? Completíssimo. Mas espera, tem mais! O Pátio de Recreação, a Casa do Diretor, o Clube dos Oficiais, a Torre de Água e aquelas exposições de arte indígena, são como tesouros escondidos esperando para serem descobertos. E ah, as vistas do skyline e da Ponte Golden Gate? Respira fundo, absorve tudo isso — pura beleza de tirar o fôlego antes de voltar para o continente.

No geral, essa viagem de um dia foi a cereja no topo da minha escapada pelo norte da Califórnia. Se você está louco por uma imersão autêntica na natureza e uma oportunidade de explorar dois parques incríveis, se prepare e reserve o passeio combinado de Alcatraz e Muir Woods. Acredite em mim, é uma aventura que você vai guardar para sempre.

In English: Trailblazing Tales: Alcatraz & Muir Woods Adventure"

“Last week, our adventure to Alcatraz and Muir Woods was an absolute gem, a real Northern California treat. If you're swinging by San Francisco, I cannot rave enough about booking the Alcatraz and Muir Woods combo tour. These two spots are utterly distinct and pack a punch in person. Booking was a breeze, and the tour itself was well-oiled. And oh, Leo, our tour guide, was a superstar. He made the whole affair incredibly lively and accommodating, doubling the fun.

Muir Woods was like stepping into a forest wonderland, hiking alongside Leo for hours, delving into the depths of the woods, even conquering the canopy trail. That 3-mile loop? Pure magic for soaking in the jaw-dropping scenery, especially as we hiked up to Muir Beach overlook along the Pacific Coast Highway. It's etched in my memory forever.

Post-hike, we dashed over to Salito's Crab House & Prime Rib, sinking our teeth into some fresh, succulent meat and seafood. A meal fit for champions before our Alcatraz escapade. Now, Alcatraz? Two tales in one. The "rock" tour? Riveting and informative. The Cell House audio? Utterly thorough. But wait, there's more! The Recreation Yard, the Warden's Home, the Officer's Club, the Water Tower, and those Native American art exhibits, they're like hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. And oh, the skyline views and the Golden Gate Bridge vistas? Take a breath, soak it all in—pure breathtaking beauty before you head back to the mainland.

Overall, this day trip was the cherry on top of my Northern California escapade. If you're hankering for an authentic dive into the wild and an opportunity to explore two jaw-dropping parks, buckle up and book the Alcatraz and Muir Woods combo tour. Trust me, it's an adventure you'll cherish forever.”

A Great Way to Visit Two Iconic Places in One Day Trip

Muir Woods was definitely our favorite part of this trip, and we highly recommend it. Although it initially seemed like a "tourist trap," the experience of touring Alcatraz prison was surprisingly interesting. Even during the daytime, the place was a bit spooky, and our kids loved the horror of it. The boat trip also provided a great view of the city hills and landmarks. 

The combo tour of the city and Alcatraz was worth the time and money, especially if you have limited time in the Bay Area. Note that while signs say no food and drink can be brought on the Alcatraz ferry, no one checked for this, and we were able to bring some snacks for the kids to eat on the island.

We were amazed by the sharp contrast between the inside of Alcatraz Island and the lively views of the bustling city of San Francisco. It must have been incredibly depressing for Alcatraz inmates to see such a stark difference from behind the bars. All in all, this was a great way to visit two iconic places in one day trip. Muir Woods was definitely our favorite part of the trip and is highly recommended.

This review has been translated from Danish:

Muir Woods var vores favoritdel af denne tur og kan absolut anbefales. Selvom det i starten virkede som en "turistfælde", var oplevelsen af at besøge Alcatraz-fængslet overraskende interessant. Selv om det var midt på dagen, var stedet lidt uhyggeligt, og vores børn elskede det skræmmende ved det. Bådtur var også fantastisk og gav en god udsigt over byens bakker og vartegn.

Den kombinerede tur til byen og Alcatraz var tiden og pengene værd, især hvis du har begrænset tid i Bay Area. Bemærk, at selvom der står, at mad og drikkevarer ikke må medbringes på Alcatraz-færgen, blev der ikke tjekket for dette, og vi kunne tage nogle snacks med til børnene. Vi var imponerede over den skarpe kontrast mellem indersiden af Alcatraz Island og de livlige udsigter over den travle by San Francisco. Det må have været utroligt deprimerende for Alcatraz-fangerne at se en så markant forskel bag tremmerne. Alt i alt var dette en fantastisk måde at besøge to ikoniske steder på en dagstur. Muir Woods var absolut vores favoritdel af turen og kan stærkt anbefales.

Forfait sans souci avec les visites de Muir Woods et Alcatraz

Nous avions une demande essentielle : un guide francophone. Et c'est là qu'intervient Buddy, notre guide américain extraordinaire, maîtrisant le français parfaitement et regorgeant de connaissances. Nos visites ? Elles ont été tout simplement sensationnelles !

En premier lieu, la visite de deux jours à Yosemite avec un hôtel douillet ajouté au programme. Faites-nous confiance, Yosemite est tout simplement magique ! Chaque centime en vaut la peine, mais préparez-vous à un trajet de quatre heures aller-retour depuis San Francisco. Imaginez ceci : Monterey et Carmel, des joyaux côtiers charmants qui nous ont rappelé la Bretagne en France.

Puis, Alcatraz. Le débat ultime parmi nous : certains étaient totalement absorbés, se plongeant dans l'histoire et le mystère, tandis que d'autres ont trouvé que c'était un peu surévalué. Eh bien, chacun ses goûts, n'est-ce pas ?

Mais parlons des moments forts ! Yosemite a volé la vedette. Majestueux, impressionnant, et tout simplement inoubliable ! Ce parc national a soufflé nos esprits et est devenu la pierre précieuse de nos vacances en Californie. Donc, si vous êtes prêt pour une série d'aventures, ces visites sont faites pour vous. Rappelez-vous juste, Yosemite pourrait bien voler votre cœur et vous laisser avec une envie de plus !"

Charged Up: Unveiling the City Buzz and Alcatraz Adventure!

Our city escapade with Mary, a spirited San Francisco native of Irish descent, was an absolute blast! She zipped us around secret spots and iconic sights, unraveling the city's hidden treasures within a mere four hours. Without her, we'd have been lost in a maze of missed wonders!

At Hill Stone, a cozy American-style joint near the Alcatraz ferry zone, we lunched and Mary dished out tips for our upcoming Alcatraz walkabout. She also hooked Dad up with the 'Alcatraz SEAT'—an electric tram for folks needing a lift to the prison entrance. Genius!

Stepping onto Alcatraz Island sent shivers down our spines—the eerie vibes from the prison ruins were downright spine-chilling! Initially unsettling, the mystery of the ruins soon lured us in. Each nook and cranny we explored had us feeling like real-life adventurers. It's a thrill you've got to discover for yourself!

Verdict? The city and Alcatraz combo are worth every penny! With Mary as your guide, you'll soak up the best of San Fran before embarking on the unforgettable Alcatraz journey. No ticket hassles either—snagging those Alcatraz passes can be tougher than finding treasure! For the ultimate San Francisco adventure, this tour is the real deal.

"Exploring Alcatraz : San Francisco's Riveting Historical Journey"

Our San Francisco and Muir Woods tour with Buddy was an absolute blast! Buddy led the city tour, making it both enjoyable and informative. Then, we ventured independently to Alcatraz and had a fantastic self-guided tour; the audio was exceptionally well done.

Additionally, we did a wine tour and Muir Woods excursion with the same company, both expertly conducted by Buddy. The day before it was an absolute joy, and both tours were guided by him.

This experience added so much fun and enjoyment to our vacation. We highly recommend this company—the tours were well-organized and conducted with excellence. Buddy's guidance made our time unforgettable!"

Best San Francisco Alcatraz combo Tour!

Get those tickets pronto! Initially eyeing the night tour for Alcatraz, but you know what they say—those tickets vanish quicker than a San Francisco fog! So, day tour it was, and let me tell you, not too shabby at all. Besides diving into the mind-blowing tale of Alcatraz, the trip to the island itself is off-the-charts phenomenal. And to top it off, the city tour? Total game-changer, completing the entire package with a dash of super interesting.

That island adventure and the tales it spins? They're like a rollercoaster ride—exciting, a tad eerie, and oh so fascinating! Stay tuned for more tales from the City by the Bay!

Alcatraz and San Francisco - the best part of our vacation in California

This is an incredible tourist attraction. We did the tour with our kids, and they loved it too. The audio tour was well done, we took tons of photos and enjoyed the views of the city from Alcatraz Island. The views from Alcatraz are spectacular.  Alcatraz and San Francisco - the best part of our vacation in California. This is an incredible tourist attraction.

Fascinating combo tour of San Francisco  & Alcatraz 

Here's the scoop: pre-booking those Alcatraz tickets is a must-do before hitting up San Francisco! I mean, you just can't be in this city and miss out on the Alcatraz prison action, am I right? So, picture this: a combo tour that's basically a two-for-one deal—Alcatraz and the city all wrapped up in a time-saving package. Trust me, it's a game-changer! Now, let me spill the beans about this tour—it was way cooler than I ever imagined! We boarded the Alcatraz ferry at San Francisco's Pier 33, and as we reached the dock on Alcatraz Island, this park ranger dude welcomed us with the lowdown on the do's and don'ts. The prison itself? Old, yeah. Dingy, for sure. But oh boy, fascinating! And that audio tour? Absolute gold! It's like stepping into a history book, but with way cooler sound effects. So, yeah, it's a must-do in my book. Old, eerie vibes aside, Alcatraz is the real deal for history buffs and adventure seekers alike. Stay tuned for more tales from the city by the bay!

(Original review in Spanish ): ¡Vaya, aquí está la historia! Reservar con antelación es clave si quieres asegurarte los tickets para Alcatraz antes de visitar San Francisco. En serio, no puedes estar en esta ciudad y perderte la experiencia de la prisión de Alcatraz, ¿verdad? Imagínate esto: un tour combinado que es como dos en uno, ¡Alcatraz y la ciudad, todo en un paquete que ahorra tiempo! Créeme, ¡es todo un cambio de juego!

Déjame contarte sobre este tour: fue mucho más impresionante de lo que imaginaba. Subimos al ferry a Alcatraz en el Muelle 33 de San Francisco, y al llegar al muelle de la Isla de Alcatraz, un guardaparques nos dio toda la información sobre qué hacer y qué no. ¿La prisión en sí? Antigua, sí. Un poco lúgubre, claro. ¡Pero vaya, qué fascinante! Y ¿el tour de audio? Una joya absoluta. Es como adentrarte en un libro de historia, pero con efectos de sonido mucho más guays. Así que, sí, es una visita obligada para mí. A pesar de las vibes antiguas y misteriosas, Alcatraz es la opción perfecta para los amantes de la historia y los aventureros.

¡Estad atentos para más historias de la ciudad junto a la bahía!

I highly recommend this tour company when Alcatraz tickets are sold out

Trust me, this tour company is your lifesaver when Alcatraz tickets vanish! We snagged the combo tour via Alcatraz Tours when the solo Alcatraz slots were completely booked. What a treat! The ferry ride circling Alcatraz and Angel Island was delightful—Alcatraz is a stunner! The audio tour? Loved it! It painted a vivid picture of Alcatraz's history and its infamous residents. It hit the sweet spot—packed with info without getting dull. 'Alcatraz Tours Inc.' is the real deal. When Alcatraz tickets are as rare as gold dust, they've got a stash of pre-purchased tickets, and their private city tour? Oh, a definite 5-star gem! Worth every single penny.

Una Experiencia de 5 Estrellas en San Francisco y Alcatraz Tour

Our travel agent in Veracruz Mexico booked the San Francisco tour package with hotel accommodation included. However, the online tour agency with which we originally  booked our Alcatraz and Muir Woods package  turned out to be a fraud, a fiasco, a company with little reliability, we were calling by phone and we have never been able to get through, they are locate overseas! 

Two days before leaving our country, our Alcatraz tours were canceled at the last minute and there was no way to get tickets for Alcatraz or any of the destinations because they were sold out.

Fortunately, we found this local company Alcatraz Tours Inc: www.alcatraztoursf.com  and this was the only tour operator that could help us with our last minute reservations, they provided us with excellent customer service and always responded promptly in Spanish, and they even assigned us a Spanish tour guide:  our both excursions were totally private and in Spanish, our tour guides were incredible, very professional, attentive and cordial and the best of all is that the agency also got us the tickets  to visit  Alcatraz Island and also for the Redwoods Muir Woods Park despite this last-minute booking. 

We also took advantage and went to Sonoma Valley and Marín County with them. This Company offers best tours and many options to choose from for all travelers;  they are very professional, and they go out of their way to offer to please their customers.

All the other websites we found were resellers or fake or they were not even located in California, none of them bothered to answer our phone calls or emails,  and neither did they offer guided tours in Spanish.  MY best advice for everyone, look for Local Operators and avoid websites and companies that are not in San Francisco! This Tour Operator is underrated and deserves more credit for their excellent customer service. 

Servicios Turístico de 5 estrellas: Tranquilidad en manos de profesionales.

Nuestro agente de viajes en Veracruz México nos reservó el paquete turístico de San Francisco con alojamiento en hotel incluido. Sin embargo, la agencia de tours en línea con la que reservó nuestros paquetes de Alcatraz y Muir Woods resultó ser un fraude, un fiasco, una empresa con poca confiabilidad, estuvimos llamando por teléfono y nunca nos hemos podido contactar con ellos.

A dos días antes de salir de nuestro país, a última hora nos cancelaron nuestros tours de Alcatraz y ya no había forma de conseguir los boletos para Alcatraz ni para ninguno de los destinos porque estaban agotados.

Afortunadamente, encontramos esta empresa local Alcatraz Tours Inc. Y esta fue el único Operador de turismo que pudo ayudarnos con nuestras reservaciones de último minuto, nos brindaron un excelente servicio al cliente y seguimiento continuo y rápido en idioma español, e incluso nos asignaron un guía bilingüe privado, nuestras dos excursiones fueron en nuestro propio idioma en español , nuestros guías turísticos fueron increíbles muy profesionales, atentos y cordiales y lo mejor de todo es que la agencia también nos consiguieron los tickets de entradas para la isla de Alcatraz y también para el parque de muir woods de redwoods. También aprovechamos y conocimos Sonoma Valley y el condado de Marín con ellos. Esta Empresa ofrece trato directo, son muy profesionales y se desviven por ofrecer un buen trabajo.

Todos los otros sitios webs que encontrábamos eran revendedores o falsos o ni siquiera estaban ubicados en California, ninguno de ellos se molestaron en responder nuestras llamadas telefónicas y tampoco ninguno de ellos ofrecía visitas guiadas en servicio privado y en español.

MI mejor consejo para todos, busquen Operadores Locales y evite sitios webs y compañías que no se encuentran en San Francisco. Este Operador Turístico lo calificamos con 5 + estrellas por su excelente trato personal, rapidez en contestar nuestras preguntas e inquietudes, personal de primera muy amables, y los recomendados al 100% con los ojos cerrados a todos.

Alcatraz At Night? Totally Spooky! 🌙!

We embarked on a thrilling journey from San José, Costa Rica, all the way to San Francisco, California, with dreams of exploring Alcatraz Island and Yosemite National Park. At first, finding a Spanish-speaking guide for Yosemite and its magnificent sequoias seemed like an impossible task. But then, we stumbled upon this incredible tour company. They not only arranged a private Spanish-guided tour of Yosemite but also surprised us with last-minute tickets to the night tour of Alcatraz Island – tickets that were seemingly impossible to find elsewhere. The booking agent spoke fluent Spanish, was incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond to secure our Alcatraz adventure on such short notice.

We're immensely grateful for their outstanding customer service and the extra mile they went to secure those Alcatraz tickets for us. The night tour was a bit eerie, but captivating. The US park rangers led us through the prison, sharing enthralling tales of Alcatraz's history and its famous inmates like Al Capone, not to mention the intriguing story of 'The Escape from Alcatraz' - 'El misterio de la fuga de Alcatraz'. It was an unforgettable experience, thanks to their thoughtful arrangements. Lucia and Yolanda M. Vasquez from San Jose, Costa Rica

Spanish: Nos embarcamos en una emocionante travesía desde San José, Costa Rica, hasta San Francisco, California, con sueños de explorar la Isla de Alcatraz y el Parque Nacional Yosemite. Al principio, encontrar un guía que hablara español para Yosemite y sus magníficas secuoyas parecía una tarea imposible. Pero luego, nos topamos con esta increíble compañía de tours. No solo organizaron un recorrido privado en español por Yosemite, sino que también nos sorprendieron con entradas de última hora para el tour nocturno de la Isla de Alcatraz, boletos que parecían imposibles de encontrar en otro lugar. La agente de reservas hablaba español con fluidez, era increíblemente amable y se esforzó al máximo para asegurar nuestra aventura en Alcatraz con tan poco tiempo de anticipación.

Estamos inmensamente agradecidos por su excelente servicio al cliente y el esfuerzo adicional que hicieron para asegurar esos boletos de Alcatraz para nosotros. El tour nocturno fue un poco inquietante, pero cautivador. Los guardaparques de Estados Unidos nos guiaron a través de la prisión, compartiendo relatos fascinantes sobre la historia de Alcatraz y sus famosos reclusos como Al Capone, además de la intrigante historia de 'La Fuga de Alcatraz' - 'El misterio de la fuga de Alcatraz'. Fue una experiencia inolvidable, gracias a sus consideradas gestiones

"Alcatraz After Dark: Unveiling Nighttime Mysteries!"

"Visiting Alcatraz Island for the night tour was an unforgettable experience. My nephew Darren and I, coming all the way from Cleveland, Ohio, were thrilled to explore this iconic site after dark. The ranger talk and guided tour added a whole new dimension to our visit. The depth of historical information shared was impressive, and experiencing the island's ambiance at night was both eerie and captivating.

Booking last-minute tickets for the night tour was a challenge, considering how quickly they sell out. The Alcatraz Tours staff went above and beyond to secure our tickets, and their assistance was invaluable. Their dedication ensured we didn't miss out on this exceptional opportunity.

The atmosphere on the island at night was truly unique. It added an extra layer of mystery and intrigue to the visit. Walking through the cells, hearing stories of past inmates, and getting insights from the guides made the experience incredibly immersive.

I highly recommend the Alcatraz night tour to anyone visiting San Francisco. It's not just a visit to a historical site; it's a journey into the darker, lesser-known side of Alcatraz's history. A huge thank you to the staff for making our visit a highlight of our trip!"

I Highly Recommend This Combination Alcatraz & City Tour

I highly recommend this fantastic combination of visiting Alcatraz and the city. We booked our Alcatraz and San Francisco tour through Alcatraz Tours. When we wanted to visit Alcatraz prison, everything was fully booked, but this local travel agency really went the extra mile to help us with a last-minute reservation despite the hurdles. All the other websites we tried were bogus or not even based in California! None of them bothered to answer our calls. I genuinely recommend this combined Alcatraz-city tour and this tour operator. It's absolutely worth it.

French : Je vous recommande vivement cette formidable combinaison de visite d'Alcatraz et de la ville. Nous avons réservé notre circuit Alcatraz et San Francisco via Alcatraz Tours. Lorsque nous avons voulu visiter la prison d'Alcatraz, tout était complet, mais cette agence de voyage locale a été incroyable pour nous aider avec une réservation de dernière minute malgré les obstacles. Tous les autres sites web que nous avons testés étaient inefficaces ou même pas situés en Californie ! Aucun n'a répondu à nos appels. Je vous encourage vraiment à choisir cette visite combinée Alcatraz-ville et cet opérateur touristique. Ça vaut vraiment le coup

Alcatraz Night Tour !

We sorted our Alcatraz night jol with Alcatraz Tours back in February, but we only hit San Francisco vibes late in May. And thank the lucky stars we did, 'cause by March, all them Alcatraz night trips were fully booked! Our ferry ride to Alcatraz Island was pretty smooth, just a quick 20-minute cruise. Gotta say, that night tour of the slammer was quite a vibe. Nope, no creepiness at all.

Word of advice – dress smart, bring layers; it can get mighty chilly and foggy out there.

Alcatraz Prison Night Tour is Awesome

My wife and I snagged our Alcatraz prison tickets online, bundled with a delightful trip to Napa Valley wineries. We're big beer fans, but we craved a change, so we dove into red and white wines in the beautiful Napa wine country. After a day filled with flavors, we cruised back to San Francisco, dropped off at Pier 33, all set for our Alcatraz adventure.

The Alcatraz night tour was a must for us, even before touching down in California. The excitement bubbled up as we reached the ferry lines. Setting off at 3:50 pm, the night tour boat treated us to stunning views of San Francisco and the majestic Golden Gate Bridge. On the island, park rangers organized groups for the night tour, each starting at different times. They even have trams for those avoiding uphill walks, no extra cost needed. The self-guided tour narration was super informative and kept us on our toes.

We'd totally recommend the Alcatraz prison night tour to every traveler. Although, the bummer was that parts of the island shut down at night unlike during the day tour. I suppose it's their way of keeping things in check, considering they allow only one group per night. This tour company's a winner, folks. Trust me, you won't be let down.

Alcatraz Night Tour with Our Kids - Excellent & Worth Every Penny

We had a fantastic experience booking the night tour with Alcatraz Tours. It was impressively organized and informative. The insights we gained about Alcatraz prison during the night tour were valuable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it, even for families with kids. Comfortable, flat walking shoes and extra layers are a must as the island can get chilly. I'd also suggest bringing a flashlight and an extra phone charger. It made for an excellent trip for the whole family, definitely worth the money and time.

Our Night Tour Experience of the Rock “Alcatraz”

"My wife and I had a fantastic time on the night tour of Alcatraz prison, guided by a local volunteer. The ferry ride was swift, offering stunning views of the San Francisco skyline and iconic bridges. The US park rangers were incredibly helpful, engaging, and full of insightful information. The audio-guided tour added depth to the experience, making it thoroughly enjoyable."

Wonderful night tour experience like a “fairy tale”.

What a remarkable night tour filled with captivating history and intriguing stories! Alcatraz isn't your typical jailbreak scenario—escaping from 'The Rock' seems like an extraordinary feat. Reflecting on how challenging it must have been for those three guys to vanish from Alcatraz at night is akin to a gripping fairy tale, with just the right amount of spookiness. The tour's pacing was perfectly balanced, adding to the overall well-executed experience.

Great way to see Alcatraz & San Francisco !!

"Wow, what an unexpected treat! Our one-day tour turned into a whirlwind adventure through San Francisco. Jon, our guide, was a gem—friendly, chock-full of info, and so accommodating. Thanks a bunch for making our day unforgettable! I can't stress enough how much I'd recommend this tour.

La Isla de Alcatraz es excepcional, pero reserva tus boletos con antelación

El tour a la Isla de Alcatraz es excepcional y la prisión es un lugar impresionante. Esta es mi atracción favorita en el Área de la Bahía de San Francisco. Reserva tus boletos para el ferry de Alcatraz con anticipación, ya que estos valiosos boletos se agotan semanas y meses antes; nosotros reservamos nuestros boletos para Alcatraz dos meses antes. Las compañías turísticas claramente ya no pueden vender boletos individuales para Alcatraz, así que tuvimos que reservar los boletos para la prisión combinados con un tour por la ciudad. Nuestro guía turístico, Jonathan, fue increíble y divertido. Recomendamos encarecidamente este combo tour sin problemas. Es divertido, informativo y emocionante, y vale cada centavo. Debo decir que la energía y la impresión que obtienes al visitar Alcatraz es algo que necesitas experimentar por ti mismo. Jose B. Barrios, Guatemala

The Enigmatic Charm of Alcatraz Island

From our city tour to Alcatraz Island, our family had an incredible adventure. It's quite chilly in San Francisco Bay, even during the summer. However, we were fascinated by the criminology and forensic stories linked to Alcatraz and San Quentin prisons. Names like Charles Manson, the Zodiac, Fong “Little Pete” Ching, Zebra killers, Felix Mitchell, the Unabomber, Scott Peterson, and the famous 'Escape from Alcatraz' by Clarence and John Anglin and Frank Morris were captivating! Stepping off the ferry onto Alcatraz Island evokes a mix of eerie yet thrilling sensations. It might be a bit creepy, but it’s undeniably exciting and intriguing.

From Dutch : “De Intrigerende Sfeer van Alcatraz Eiland"

“Van onze stadstour tot Alcatraz Eiland hadden onze familie een ongelofelijk avontuur. Het is behoorlijk fris in de baai van San Francisco, zelfs in de zomer. Desondanks raakten we gefascineerd door de criminologische en forensische verhalen verbonden aan Alcatraz en San Quentin gevangenissen. Namen als Charles Manson, de Zodiac, Fong “Little Pete” Ching, de Zebra-moordenaars, Felix Mitchell, de Unabomber, Scott Peterson, en de beroemde 'Escape from Alcatraz' van Clarence en John Anglin en Frank Morris waren fascinerend! Bij het uitstappen van de veerboot op Alcatraz Eiland komen er zowel griezelige als opwindende gevoelens naar boven. Het kan een beetje eng zijn, maar het is ontegenzeggelijk opwindend en intrigerend.”

Alcatraz Tickets: Book Ahead for a Fantastic Experience in San Francisco

If you're planning a trip to San Francisco, lock in those Alcatraz tickets well ahead of time! It's a must-visit spot in Northern California and San Fran itself. On our ferry to Alcatraz, we met a South African police officer who had a layover at SFO. He joined us for the visit, and it was a blast! Remember to dress in layers; even in summer, the Bay Area can surprise you with cool and foggy weather. The views of Alcatraz from San Francisco are simply breathtaking. This combo tour was a game-changer, saving us both time and money. And a huge shoutout to Mary—what a fantastic tour guide! She had us in stitches with her jokes and stories about Alcatraz and San Francisco. The kids were hooked!

Alcatraz: A Must-See Gem Beyond Expectations

Alcatraz lives up to every bit of its Hollywood portrayal in those Frank Morris tales (you know, the Clint Eastwood flick about the legendary escape!). You'll spot those cells, just like in "Escape from Alcatraz," perfectly preserved. A trip to San Francisco without hitting Alcatraz? Incomplete! It took me two tries at Alcatraz tours to really soak in the incredible atmosphere. Stepping off that Alcatraz cruises ferry onto the dock? You feel the energy! Pairing it with this city tour was a stroke of genius, an exceptional combo that I'd recommend to all visitors.

Alcatraz and San Francisco: The Ultimate Stress-Free Adventure

We struck gold scoring tickets for Alcatraz! Snagged this all-in-one San Francisco package that bundled a guided tour with the Alcatraz experience – talk about a stress-free reservation that covered it all. For those tight on time, this combo trip was a lifesaver, ticking off the city's highlights while diving into the intriguing world of Alcatraz. It's a definite must-do when you're in the City by the Bay, worth every dime you shell out. Our guide hustled us up to the Alcatraz ferry terminal, sorted our tour vouchers, and bingo – we were handed our ferry passes. We squeezed in a quick bite at the Alcatraz cafe, Pier 33, nabbing some snacks before the ferry ride; Alcatraz doesn't offer food onboard, so come prepared!"

Alcatraz tour should be on everyone’s bucket-list

This is an incredible tourist attraction in the San Francisco Bay area. If you're planning to visit San Francisco, you have to add the Alcatraz prison tour to your bucket list; even more so than Muir Woods or Napa. The history of Alcatraz Island itself is a fascinating story, even before it was used as a federal prison. How did anyone manage to escape from this remote island and maximum-security prison? The audio-guided tour through headphones is informative; the stories and sounds of the prison officers make the tour so vivid and the history comes to life. I took amazing pictures to show my friends in Japan. This trip is wonderful and recommended even for solo travelers like myself.

Translated from Japanese: 「アルカトラズツアーは誰もが行きたい場所です

 

これはサンフランシスコ湾エリアの信じられないほどの観光名所です。サンフランシスコを訪れる予定の方は、ムーアウッズやナパよりも、アルカトラズ刑務所ツアーをバケットリストに追加する必要があります。アルカトラズ島自体の歴史は非常に興味深い物語で、連邦刑務所として使用される前から存在していました。どのようにして誰かがこの遠隔地にある最高警備刑務所から脱走したのでしょうか？オーディオガイド付きのヘッドフォンによるツアーは情報量が豊富で、刑務所の職員の話や音がツアーを非常にリアルにし、歴史が生き生きとしています。素晴らしい写真を撮って、日本の友人に見せました。この旅行は素晴らしく、私のような一人旅の人にもお勧めです。

“Great combo tour opportunity of Alcatraz prison”

This was our first visit to California and San Francisco. Our parents did a city tour and YOSEMITEERNIGH TRIP WITH THME LAST YEARS with this tour company and found out how hard it was to get Alcatraz tickets., Luckily, our tour guide Patricia, who was so professional and friendly, called the company and arranged last-minute tickets for us to visit Alcatraz Island. The experience lived up to our expectations and the reviews we had read about Alcatraz tours turned out to be so true. We recommend this combo tour to all families with kids like us, who have no time to scan through all these websites out there looking for ticket’s availability. This is a very serious and professional tour company, and they exceeded our expectations

San Francisco Alcatraz Duo Adventure

Lock in those Alcatraz tickets as soon as you set your sights on San Fran! Initially eyeing the Alcatraz Island night tour, we found it nearly impossible due to the limited slots. Nevertheless, the day tour turned out to be a stellar alternative. The enthralling tale behind Alcatraz prison is downright amazing and bundling it with a city tour was the cherry on top. This company was a breeze to deal with, from booking on their website to the day of the excursion. Plus, their tour guides? A perfect blend of fun and professionalism.

French: « Réservez ces billets pour Alcatraz dès que vous avez San Francisco en ligne de mire ! Au départ, nous avions l'œil sur la visite nocturne de l'île d'Alcatraz, mais nous avons trouvé cela presque impossible en raison du nombre limité de places. Néanmoins, la visite de jour s'est avérée être une alternative exceptionnelle. Le récit captivant derrière la prison d'Alcatraz est tout simplement incroyable, et l'associer à une visite de la ville était la cerise sur le gâteau. Cette société a été d'une grande simplicité, de la réservation sur leur site web au jour de l'excursion. Et leurs guides touristiques ? Un mélange parfait de plaisir et de professionnalisme. »

Top Notch 5-Star City Private Tour with Alcatraz Prison

Save yourself the hassle of hunting for Alcatraz tickets – book with this local tour outfit for an outstanding experience. We opted for the full-day San Francisco city tour by SUV and were blown away. Our guide, Pat, was an absolute gem, surpassing our expectations. The service was top-notch, and we can't recommend it enough!

We highly suggest the private city tour for the freedom to stop wherever you desire, exploring monuments and neighborhoods that are off-limits to bus tours. And as for Alcatraz, don't miss the audio guide—it's both fun and enlightening. You'll uncover a trove of intriguing information about this former jail.

"Ne perdez pas votre temps à chercher des billets et de la disponibilité pour Alcatraz. Réservez avec cette entreprise locale de visites, et vous ne serez pas déçu. Nous avons réservé la visite privée d'une journée de San Francisco en SUV. La visite de la ville a dépassé nos attentes et notre guide, Pat, a certainement assuré. Service superbe et hautement recommandé, vous serez entre de bonnes mains. Nous recommandons la visite privée de la ville où vous pouvez vous arrêter où vous voulez et visiter le monument ou le quartier de votre choix, là où les visites en bus sont limitées.

Fun day tour of San Francisco and Alcatraz

Okay, note to self: snag those Alcatraz tickets ahead of time! Let me tell you, this tour was way more awesome than I ever imagined. You start with this cool ferry ride from San Francisco Pier 33 straight to Alcatraz Island—where the adventure truly begins! Rainy and foggy weather? No problem! Didn't dampen the experience one bit. Everything was top-notch, organized to the T. The ranger who greeted us at the dock laid down the lowdown before we ventured into the former prison.

Pro tip: Snack alert! Grab a bite before you head to Alcatraz. They don't do food service on the island! And hey, you can chill there as long as you want, but don't get stuck missing the last ferry. They’re like clockwork, every 30 minutes or so.

So, Alcatraz... tough as nails, they say! I mean, how did all those big-shot criminals like Al Capone hack it? The audio tour's a gem, seriously, but if you've got the time, give it a second go. It’s a heap of info, might get a bit overwhelming for first-timers, though!

(Translated from Czech ): No tak, poznámka pro sebe: získej ty lístky na Alcatraz včas! Musím říct, že tenhle výlet byl úplně úžasnější, než jsem čekal. Začíná to úžasnou plavbou z San Francisca od mola 33 přímo na ostrov Alcatraz - a teprve tam se doopravdy začíná dobrodružství! A když pršelo a byla mlha? Bez problémů! To vůbec nezkazilo zážitek. Všechno bylo super, perfektně zorganizované. Strážce, který nás přivítal u mola, nám před vstupem do bývalé věznice všechno vysvětlil. Tip na památku: Napište si na seznam! Dejte si něco k snědku před cestou na Alcatraz. Na ostrově se jídlo nenabízí! A klidně se tam můžete potloukat, jak dlouho chcete, ale nespatřili byste nejraději poslední trajekt. Je pravidelný jako hodinky, každých asi 30 minut. No a Alcatraz… tvrdý jako kámen, říkají! Jak to jen zvládli ti všechny ty velké kriminálníci jako Al Capone? Audioprůvodce je fakt klenot, ale pokud máte čas, poslechněte si to znova. Je toho tolik, že to může být pro nováčky docela přemnožené!

Why Does Everyone Rave About Alcatraz Prison?

What's the big deal with the Alcatraz prison tour? It's dim, chilly, kinda grim, and packed with people. Honestly, we didn’t get what all the hype was about. It felt a bit overrated, to be frank. Why have criminals turned into these almost glamorized figures? Alcatraz isn’t exactly a star-studded attraction in our book! Some visitors were even seeking autographs from a former inmate—who does that? I guess it’s the criminology enthusiasts that get the appeal.

However, I'm giving a solid 4-star review—not for Alcatraz tours but for our city experience with the fantastic guide, Alan. He made our city tour super thrilling and enjoyable. Alan was incredibly accommodating, always attentive to our needs. The highlight? Stopping halfway down Lombard Street for some epic photos right in the middle of the street and the fortune cookies in Chinatown—now, that was a blast! Oh, and the ferry building? Foodies and wine lovers, take note! It’s a fantastic spot, and we had a blast there too.

Alcatraz and San Francisco: The Highlight of Our California Adventure!

Alcatraz Island is an absolute gem for tourists. Taking the tour with our kids was an incredible experience—they were totally into it! The audio tour was fantastic, and we couldn’t resist snapping tons of pictures while basking in the breathtaking views of the city from Alcatraz Island. Trust me, the views are nothing short of spectacular! Pro tip: head to the officers’ garden side for a killer view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Just be cautious on those ancient, steep steps—no railings! It’s an ode to the officers' spouses who once tended to all sorts of veggies here (the beauty within the beast).

In between city explorations, we made sure to carve out time for a visit to the California Academy of Sciences nestled in the Golden Gate Park. Seriously underrated! This museum is a hidden gem. With its world-class aquarium, planetarium, and natural history museum, it’s a paradise for curious minds of all ages. The guided tour, both indoors and on the rooftop, was an absolute delight, especially for our little ones. Highly recommend it for families seeking an enriching experience.

Alcatraz prison tour was an unexpectedly fascinating experience!

Our journey to Alcatraz Island offered a genuinely intriguing glimpse into its history. Despite having some basic knowledge about Alcatraz, the tour offered a deeper, more authentic understanding of its story beyond what Hollywood portrays. The tour company impressed us with their efficient organization, from the city guided tour to the ferry procedures and providing audio tour headsets. Departure times were fixed, but the return was flexible, allowing us to explore at our own pace and dodge crowds with the self-guided audio tour. While some areas were closed off, the public spaces were open for exploration, offering ample freedom to wander. Keep in mind that reaching the prison entrance requires a bit of a hike up the road, with steps inside, possibly challenging for those with mobility issues. Thankfully, they provide a shuttle for accessibility. It's a definite must-visit spot, and pairing it with a San Francisco combo tour is a brilliant idea. It’s a short yet intriguing addition after the city tour. Special thanks to Alcatraz Tours and our fantastic guide, Victor, for their passion and knowledge. We’re grateful we chose a local tour rather than those messy global websites with zero customer service. Highly recommended!

Yeah, we did it! We made it to Alcatraz and escaped from the rock!

We did it! Made it to Alcatraz and 'escaped' from the rock! ✔️ Checked Alcatraz tour off our bucket list. We totally recommend this combo adventure of Alcatraz and the city tour. Stress-free from start to finish—we were picked up at our hotel, did the private city tour, and explored Alcatraz prison on our own. Worth every penny!

Great, humbling Alcatraz  Experience

What a must-see treat when you're cruising around the San Francisco Bay area! This adventure kicks off with a tailor-made city tour, hitting up all the city's finest spots and hidden gems. Then, buckle up for the ferry ride to Alcatraz—a visual feast awaits! Think panoramic views of the Bay, the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, and the striking SFO skyline. Pro tip: early bird gets the best ferry seats!

Touching down on the island, you're free to explore. My suggestion? Make a beeline for the top for the audio tour—it's a game-changer! Learn the ins and outs of prison life in the most incredible way possible. Once you've soaked up all that knowledge, take a stroll through the gardens and peek into the island's industries—it's fascinating!

Quick heads-up: the return ferry lines can get pretty snappy, so keep an eye out! But hey, enjoy those breathtaking views on the way back too—it's a double delight!

Alcatraz : Pack those layers, folks! Fun, Fog and wind await

My partner and I decided to treat our parents and in-laws to the ultimate double whammy: Alcatraz plus a city tour. Our crew of seven had an absolute blast, all thanks to our fantastic local guide. Talk about a goldmine of knowledge!

Cruising around in a private SUV beats the public bus tour any day—you get to hit up four times the sights! From Lombard Street to the painted ladies, China Beach to Fort Miley, and soaking in the Mission murals—yeah, we did it all. San Francisco? Absolutely stunning! And that Alcatraz island prison tour? A total game-changer for everyone.

Quick tip for fellow adventurers: nabbing those Alcatraz tickets? Tough as nails! Book 'em well in advance. Oh, and word to the wise: fill up before you board the Alcatraz ferry—no munchies available on the island.

Pack those layers, folks! Fog and wind await you in the heart of the San Fran Bay. Cheers to an unforgettable adventure!

A family safari adventure combined with San Francisco and Alcatraz

Embarking on a family safari adventure combined with the wonders of San Francisco and Alcatraz was an absolute game-changer for us.

We locked in this two-day tour package courtesy of Alcatraz Tours. Day one took us on a whirlwind exploration of San Francisco and a captivating visit to Alcatraz. Day two, however, was where the real wildness kicked in. Sonoma County welcomed us with open arms, offering a thrilling wild safari park experience.

Arriving around 10 am, our safari tour guide ushered us through the main entrance's fascinating realm, where exotic birds and untamed creatures roamed freely. Picture this: monkeys striking a pose, giraffes peering curiously, and flamingos flaunting their hues. A 45-minute walking tour treated us to these amazing sights, paving the way for the pièce de résistance—a safari-style jeep ride in a double-decker. Our kids were beyond thrilled; their excitement was infectious! The jeep tour spanned a breathtaking three hours, showcasing an exotic cast from monkeys, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, bobcats, flamingos, giraffes, to even parrots! It was a wildlife bonanza that left our family in awe. Highly recommended for families with kids—it's an adventure like no other!

Post-safari, our appetites led us to Napa for a delightful lunch, but the cherry on top? A visit to the Jelly Belly beans factory, sealing the day with a burst of sweetness!

A massive shoutout to our awesome guide, Buddy! He made the experience unforgettable with his passion and expertise.

Nightfall at Alcatraz: Spookily Spectacular or Just Oooh, Spooky?

So, guess who dared to venture into the eerie realm of the Alcatraz night tour? That's right, this curious soul right here! Let me spill the tea: it was an experience, alright! Some folks rave about it being this mind-blowing, out-of-this-world thing, but honestly, it was more on the "oooh, spooky" side rather than "hide under your blankets" scary.

I mean, don't get me wrong—it definitely had that creep-tastic vibe. Picture this: shadows lurking in the corners, the faint echoes of the past, and the whole shebang. But, hey, if you've got some fearless little adventurers tagging along (hello, kiddos), it might not send shivers down your spine. Think more along the lines of "wow, that's cool" rather than "I need a nightlight tonight." Now, if you ask me, I'm more of a daytime explorer. The sun's out, birds chirping, and you can soak up the Alcatraz history without the added spookiness. But hey, if you're up for a dash of thrill and a peek into the darker side of history, the night tour might just be your cup of tea. Or should I say, your shot of adrenaline!

(Original review in Spanish )

Anochecer en Alcatraz: ¿Espectacularmente Escalofriante o Simplemente Oooh, Espeluznante?

¡Adivina quién se atrevió a aventurarse en el reino misterioso del tour nocturno en Alcatraz? ¡Exacto, esta alma curiosa aquí! Permíteme contarte: ¡fue toda una experiencia! Algunos alaban esto como algo alucinante, fuera de este mundo, pero sinceramente, fue más del lado de "oooh, espeluznante" que de "esconderse bajo las sábanas" aterrador. O sea, no me malinterpretes, definitivamente tenía esa vibra tenebrosa. Imagina esto: sombras acechando en las esquinas, los ecos débiles del pasado y todo el asunto. Pero, eh, si tienes algunos intrépidos aventureros a tu lado (hola, chiquillos), quizás no te ponga la piel de gallina. Piensa más en plan "¡guau, qué chévere!" que en "necesito una luz nocturna esta noche".

Ahora bien, si me preguntas, yo soy más de explorar durante el día. Sale el sol, cantan los pájaros y puedes empaparte de la historia de Alcatraz sin la atmósfera espeluznante. Pero oye, si buscas un toque de emoción y una mirada al lado más oscuro de la historia, el tour nocturno podría ser justo lo tuyo. ¿O debería decir tu dosis de adrenalina?

¡Saludos! Javi Molina, El Paso, Texas Cheers,

"Beyond Bars: Alcatraz & SF Escapades"?

Let me tell you about our unforgettable San Francisco July 4th celebration—it was a blast! Alcatraz was a must, and boy, did it live up to the hype. Our family loves private tours, and this company delivered big time. Our guide, Adam, rocked—fun, knowledgeable, and a photo ninja! He showed us hidden gems, like a secret masonic staircase, adding thrill to our tour.

The day flowed seamlessly. More photo ops and short walks than we could imagine! Lunch in Japantown was a noodle paradise before we sailed to Alcatraz. The vibes? Electric. The visit? Intriguing and somewhat sobering. Masks on, safety first, but the excitement was palpable.

Arriving at Alcatraz, history hung heavy in the air. The interior tour with the French audio guide was captivating. It wasn't just facts; it was a vivid journey through Alcatraz's wild past. We were hooked.

Our impromptu SF adventure blended with Alcatraz was an emotional rollercoaster. From the boat buzz to mind-blowing prison tales, it was real and thought-provoking. Missed pre-booked tickets? No worries! Blend city tours with operators for an epic ride. Family-friendly fun at its best!

“Thrilling Journey Through Alcatraz: A Top-Notch Experience!"

My rendezvous with Alcatraz Tours Inc was simply top-notch, starting from the booking stage right through to the grand finale. Even though nabbing Alcatraz tickets on short notice seemed impossible, this company worked their magic and granted us an extraordinary day within the prison's walls. Our guide, Leo, was an absolute delight, blending fun and learning seamlessly into the tour. For anyone eyeing an Alcatraz adventure, this tour company comes with my highest recommendation.

Leo's savvy parking advice was a lifesaver! We opted to snugly park our wheels inside PIER 29.5 for a flat $30, ensuring our vehicle stayed safe from any shenanigans. The tip was golden and spared us any car-related mishaps.

Our journey through Alcatraz, combined with the city tour, was nothing short of spectacular, all thanks to Alcatraz Tours Inc and our fantastic guide, Leo. If you're after an engaging and enlightening Alcatraz experience, this tour company is the real deal!

"Is Alcatraz Day or Night Tour Worth the Trip? How to Decide"

Picking between the Alcatraz day or night tour? Tough choice, right? Well, after poring over blogs and reviews, my hubby and I swayed towards the night tour—let me tell you, it was the right choice! That spooky aura and entirely different vibe gave us the best kind of goosebumps.

But hey, the night tour has its quirks—some areas are off-limits, unlike the daytime exploration where you've got free rein. And brace yourself, the night can get ultra-windy and chilly, plus the sneaky fog can veil San Francisco Bay. Layering up is a must, and that mist adds a dash of spooky charm.

We paired our Alcatraz adventure with a guided city tour, worth every dime and sweat. If you're the free-spirited explorer type, the day trip might be your jam. Yet, for that extra spook-factor, the night tour is a winner. Just a tip—book way in advance; this one flies off the shelves!

We had a blast, and I'd shout out to everyone—Alcatraz is a must for any San Fran visitor!

"Thrilling Alcatraz Island & San Francisco Expedition"

This tour was the cherry on top of our San Francisco adventure! Our guide was a walking encyclopedia, sprinkling fascinating nuggets about the city as we headed towards Alcatraz. A VIP pick-up at our Nob Hill hotel set the tone—stress-free and easy-breezy.

We zipped through the city's vibrant alleys and cruised down the twisty Lombard Street—talk about thrill! Every stop was a postcard-perfect vista, and our guide's tales jazzed up the experience.

The boat trip to Alcatraz was a dream, and hello, refreshments galore onboard! While the upper deck dished out breathtaking bay views, it did get a smidge breezy and nippy at times.

Alcatraz Island? Hauntingly beautiful! Those crumbled walls and aged halls—it was like stepping into a time machine. The audio tour? Superbly easy to follow; we felt like time travelers exploring the prison's secrets.

This tour company? A total win for any San Francisco visitor! Worth every penny for an experience that was breezy and brimming with fun. Massive thanks for making our trip unforgettable!

A Lovely Family Trip of Alcatraz & San Francisco”

Our family's jaunt to Alcatraz Island was a total game-changer during our San Francisco adventure! Cruising on that ferry to the island was like getting a backstage pass to the city's stunning skyline and the sparkling bay.

Let me tell you, that audio tour? It was like a storytelling magic show!

Honestly, our entire gang had a blast on Alcatraz Island. It's a must-do if you're in San Francisco with kids. The blend of history, nature, and those knockout views? It's etched in our memory box as one of those 'forever' experiences.

"The Thrilling Audio Tour: Alcatraz Unveiled!"

What an exceptional audio tour experience at Alcatraz! The narration was incredibly engaging and well-crafted, elevating the entire visit to a whole new level of entertainment and information. I had previously opted for the extended Friday night tour, but trust me, the day tour is the real gem if you can snag a spot - they tend to fill up fast, so booking ahead is a must!

Flexibility is key; you can tailor your visit to your liking. I managed to soak up the essence of Alcatraz in a captivating 90 minutes, but you can stay as long as you wish.

Also, hopping onto the mainland-bound ferry is hassle-free - no seat reservations needed, just join the line and embark on the next available boat.

Unveiling Alcatraz's Intriguing Tale: Native American Legacy and the Great Escape

My recent visit to Alcatraz was beyond my wildest expectations, offering an experience that went far beyond the anticipated. Among the most captivating facets was delving into the island's Native American history, adding a layer of fascination and uniqueness to the entire tour.

The self-guided audio tour proved invaluable, providing an immersive and educational journey through this historical gem. While exploring the island was engrossing, remember to dress comfortably and don sturdy shoes as there's a fair bit of ground to cover.

What struck me most was the island's impeccable preservation, especially the remnants and artifacts left by its former Native American inhabitants. Witnessing their influence woven into the broader historical fabric of the site was utterly fascinating. However, the tour's zenith was undoubtedly the riveting account of the infamous Alcatraz escape. The tale of Frank Morris, John Anglin, Clarence Anglin, and Allen West was a gripping saga, made even more enthralling by standing where their audacious plan took shape. It's no surprise this escape has captivated imaginations for years.

For those thirsty to uncover Alcatraz's intricate past and its pivotal role in American history, a visit is an absolute must. And for cinephiles, the movie 'Escape from Alcatraz' starring Clint Eastwood offers a cinematic depiction that adds to the thrill.

If San Francisco's on your travel radar, do yourself a favor and pencil in Alcatraz. Trust me, it's an experience that'll linger long after your visit ends!

"Valentine's Day Adventure in San Francisco and Alcatraz!"

My partner and I opted for something unique this Valentine's Day - a trip to San Francisco and Alcatraz Island, and it turned out to be an absolute gem of an experience. Despite not being the conventional romantic outing, it was perfect for us, both being history buffs. The tour wasn't just about the prison's past; it shed light on the indigenous rights movements tied to the island. Learning about the struggles faced by people of color within those walls was truly eye-opening.

The park staff were not only welcoming but also keen on showcasing the gardens. As a plant lover, I was captivated by the stunning array of blooms and lush greenery. Although we couldn't take any souvenirs, discovering that we could purchase pieces of the foundation to support the park made for a delightful takeaway.

In addition to the island, we explored the city and decided to dive into San Francisco's local brewery scene. The Beach Chalet Brewery and Restaurant caught our eye with its local brews, fresh ingredients, and breathtaking ocean vistas. It was a paradise for food enthusiasts like us, an experience we relished.

Our day was unforgettable, and we're already planning a return trip to delve deeper into the island's offerings. However, I'll admit, unless you're both history aficionados like us, Alcatraz might not top the list for a typical romantic date!

San Francisco and Alcatraz Island, thank you for such an exceptional adventure. It was a perfect match for our curious hearts.

“An Amazing Place with Breathtaking Views and History”

An amazing place with breathtaking views and history. You can even touch the walls and cells where Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly were isolated. We were lucky to find and book this all-inclusive SF Alcatraz package, it was a worry-free booking, a perfect way to enjoy San Francisco if you don't have much time. It was a convenient, affordable, and enriching combined trip.

The island's layered history offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the US Army and the era of military prisons through the federal penitentiary era and the occupation of American Indians. We didn't know it was a lighthouse, and it became the first of its kind on the West Coast of the United States. Alcatraz was used to house problem prisoners from other federal penitentiaries, particularly those who had escaped from custody, but it also held the most notorious and dangerous prisoners in the country, such as Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, Alvin Karpis, and Whitey Bulger.

Overall, it was a great tour, but don't expect a Russian-speaking guide in an English-speaking country like the USA. Be sure to read more about it in Russian before you go. Our limited knowledge of the English language helped us understand most of the guide's stories. BRAVO! Nikolay Sivov Moscow, Russia.

“Отличный отдых в Сан-Франциско! Если у вас мало времени, я бы определенно порекомендовал пакетный тур по СФ Алькатрасу "все включено.” Нам повезло забронировать тур заранее, и это было беззаботное бронирование, включающее все необходимое. Мы могли наслаждаться потрясающими видами и историческими местами, включая камеры, где содержались известные заключенные, такие как Аль Капоне и Пулемет Келли. Мы узнали много интересного про армию США, федеральную пенитенциарную эпоху и индейскую оккупацию. Но самое главное, что мы нашли, это то, что Алькатрас был маяком, первым своего рода на западном побережье. В целом, это был очень хороший тур, хотя мы столкнулись с некоторыми трудностями в понимании английского языка гида. Поэтому я бы посоветовал прочитать больше о туре на русском языке перед поездкой. Тем не менее, это был отличный отдых, и я очень рекомендую его для всех, кто посетит Сан-Франциско. Николай Сивов Москва, Россия”

"Get Your Alcatraz Tickets Early!"

Booking your Alcatraz tickets in advance is a must! During the bustling summer months and holiday weekends, they tend to vanish like hotcakes weeks ahead. Luckily, we snagged a couple of tickets just in time. The audio tour provided with the tickets is a gem, especially in the main jail area. The ferry ride itself is a visual treat.

Set aside approximately 3 hours for your island exploration, including ferry travel. To add some pre-visit excitement, catch movies like 'The Rock' or 'Escape from Alcatraz' for a sneak peek into this legendary spot before your visit.

"San Francisco's Rainy-Day Adventure: Parks and Alcatraz Unveiled!"

A couple of weeks back, I embarked on an epic guided tour of San Francisco's vibrant parks and the legendary Alcatraz prison, even on a rainy day, and boy, was it a blast! Our adventure began with a leisurely stroll through the magnificent Golden Gate Park—a wonderland adorned with lush gardens, enchanting lakes, and captivating museums. We soaked in the scenery, despite the rain, and reveled in its beauty.

Our next stop, the Presidio, was an absolute gem! From its military legacy to its transformation into a sprawling national park, our guide spun tales of its rich history and natural wonders. Rain or shine, the allure was undeniable.

But hold onto your hats, because the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly Alcatraz! We dove headfirst into the prison's gripping history, guided by our knowledgeable guru who painted vivid pictures of the inmates' lives. Exploring the cells where some of America's most infamous crooks were once locked away—truly spine-tingling!

Our guide? A storytelling maestro, blending insights and anecdotes that brought every park nook and prison cranny to vivid life. The tour was a well-oiled machine, giving us all the time we needed to savor each spot at our own tempo.

Trust me, this guided tour is a must for anyone itching to uncover San Francisco's park treasures and unravel the secrets of Alcatraz. It's a thrilling, knowledge-packed journey that lets you experience the city's iconic spots like never before.

" Exploring the Secrets of Alcatraz Cell House"

Hey there, curious minds! Let me spill the beans about the Alcatraz Cell House Tour—prepare for a wild trip into history! You'll dive right into the thick of the prison's main block and get a peek into the lives of the folks who once called it home.

As you step in, bam! That guard tower sets the scene, making you feel like you're about to embark on a real adventure. Walking down the steep stairs, you hit the busy heart of the cell block. Picture rows of cells lining up, each packed with stories from way back when.

Those cells? Super cramped! Just enough space for a bed, a sink, and a toilet—seriously eye-opening stuff. Standing right there in spaces where legends like Al Capone hung out, it's kind of mind-blowing. But wait, there's more! You'll check out the dining hall, where everyone gathered for meals, and the rec yard, where inmates dreamed of a taste of freedom. And oh boy, the tales! Stories about the big shots who lived here and what life was like for both prisoners and guards will have your imagination running wild.

This tour isn't just a history class—it's like stepping right into America's most infamous slammer. It's a real reminder of the tough times inside these walls and how people kept going.

“Oops! We goofed up and missed our ferry to Alcatraz Island at 2:45 pm”

Oops! We goofed up and missed our ferry to Alcatraz Island at 2:45 pm. Our bad—we got caught up at Pier 39, chomping on lunch and chilling with the sea lions, totally losing track of time. But hey, big shoutout to Mary and Nick! They went all out and hooked us up with tickets for Alcatraz the next day, no extra charge! Seriously, they rock. Snagging those tickets wasn't a walk in the park—Alcatraz has been booked solid since July. We felt like the luckiest folks alive! It was our one shot to see Alcatraz Island for the first time, and we can't thank them enough.

If you haven't been to Alcatraz, seriously, go for it! We did the day tour, which felt like the whole deal after chatting with the park rangers there. Get ready for a wild ride through the mysterious history of Alcatraz! The audio tour isn't just a stroll; it's like time-traveling. Stepping into those cells, you're instantly sucked into the stories of the old inmates and guards, diving deep into life on that crazy island.

The tour kicks off with a bang, tracing Alcatraz's journey from a military fort to a hardcore prison. Then, bam! You're walking through cell blocks, uncovering crazy tales of its famous residents like Al Capone and Robert Stroud, the 'Birdman of Alcatraz.'

Imagine this: tiny, cramped cells where the big shots of history were locked up. You'll see the hardcore security that kept them in check. It's a spine-tingling reminder of what life was like for those Alcatraz dwellers. So yeah, huge thumbs up to this tour company.

"An Epic San Francisco Adventure to Remember!"

I can't express enough gratitude for the extraordinary journey from Dallas to San Francisco that left an indelible mark on our hearts. Even though I've explored San Francisco before, this tour brought a unique and absolutely worthwhile twist. Finally crossing off Alcatraz from my bucket list felt like a dream realized.

The immersive audio tour was an absolute standout. Strolling through, learning about the island's gripping history, and getting a glimpse into the lives of its inmates was surreal. Those island vistas were simply breathtaking and etched into my memory forever.

The behind-the-scenes tour was another gem of our adventure. Joining the night audio tour afterward was a marvel. The historical insights shared were remarkable, and everything ran seamlessly and flawlessly.

Our city tour with John was beyond our expectations. John's knowledge, warmth, and knack for storytelling made it feel like we were exploring the city with a longtime friend. The hidden treasures he showed us and the fascinating anecdotes he shared added layers of delight we wouldn't have discovered otherwise.

Believe me, every cent spent on this tour is worthwhile. With an insightful guide, a flawlessly orchestrated experience, and a treasure trove of unforgettable memories, we departed San Francisco with hearts full and brimming with tales. This tour is an absolute must for anyone seeking an authentic San Francisco escapade.

"Embarking on Alcatraz: A Dive into History's Depths"

My recent boat journey to Alcatraz Island was nothing short of enthralling. Cruising from the pier, the swift boat ride provided a sensational prelude, boasting captivating views of the expansive San Francisco Bay.

Once on the island, the tour unfolded seamlessly, offering an immersive dive into history. It was a liberating experience to wander at leisure, savoring each moment without feeling tethered to a schedule. The voice-guided tour was a treasure trove, revealing gripping tales of the prison's past and the lives of its confined souls. The haunting aura enveloped the space, transporting visitors to an era etched in the island's memory.

What struck a chord was the tour's unflinching gaze into Alcatraz's shadowed past. The narratives of incarcerated souls and the stark realities they faced painted a somber yet riveting picture.

This journey is an unforgettable window into a crucial slice of American heritage. Its meticulous planning, informative content, and the scenic boat ride, coupled with breathtaking vistas, amalgamate into an experience that lingers long after the tour concludes.

“Unforgettable Alcatraz Adventure!"

Our time at Alcatraz left such a mark on us. That place, with its mysterious vibe, was both eerie and totally captivating. The audio tour told these incredible stories that really brought the whole history to life. And those views from the island? Seriously mind-blowing. Every angle was like a stunning piece of art.

The combo of the Alcatraz and City Tour was just awesome. Everything was so well-planned, letting us dive deep into these famous spots. For anyone craving real, knowledge-packed experiences around San Francisco Bay, we seriously recommend this tour. It's a doorway to discoveries and moments you absolutely don't want to miss out on!

“Amazing Alcatraz Island experience”

Our stint at the prison was quite an interesting experience, though the audio tour left us with mixed feelings. While it covered the basics, we hungered for a deeper dive into the prison's intricate history. The tour itself felt a bit bustling and packed, but arriving towards the tour's end gifted us a quieter stretch, which was a plus.

One definite perk was the absence of a strict timeline—no ticking clock to rush us through. This freedom let us saunter at our own pace, giving us the luxury to explore every nook and cranny without feeling pushed by a group's itinerary. Even with the audio tour not fully meeting expectations, the chance to roam freely and the serene vibe towards the tour's conclusion compensated for it.

Alcatraz does offer a unique experience; just be prepared to augment the audio tour with some extra research if you're keen on diving deeper into its history.

“We Would Have Missed Out if we Hadn’t Gone”

As Canadians exploring San Francisco, Alcatraz wasn't on our radar initially, despite the hype from folks back home. It took a chance encounter with a couple from Chicago during our biking trip to sway our minds. Their recommendation sparked curiosity, leading us to think, "Why not seize this chance?" We might not revisit San Francisco, so we took the plunge. And boy, are we glad we did!

The entire journey, from the ferry ride to the guided tour and the return trip, was an unexpectedly smooth and delightful experience. It went above and beyond what we anticipated. Although it might be a 'once-in-a-lifetime' deal, we're convinced we'd have missed out on something truly special if we'd skipped it.

The highlight? A retired gent who led our tour stole the show. His knowledge, amiability, and charisma made the entire outing memorable. We only wished he could have taken us inside instead of the recorded tour—it would've added that extra sparkle.

If you're debating whether to go or not, take our word for it: Just go! If you are on the fence about going, just go!

“A Great Alcatraz Experience, Much Better Than I Expected”

My adventure at Alcatraz was beyond amazing! This tour totally exceeded my expectations. The staff ran things like clockwork, super organized and efficient. Exploring the island at our own rhythm with the self-guided tour was a game-changer. Tip: bring along headphones and your smartphone for the mind-blowing audio tour inside the prison. Trust me, this experience comes highly recommended!

But oh, Alcatraz night tour—totally spine-tingling!

Stepping onto Alcatraz Island felt like boarding a time machine. The place oozes an eerie yet magnetic vibe that photos just can't capture. I opted for the self-guided audio tour available, and let me tell you, it was a rabbit hole into the island's history and the lives of its inmates. It's like peering through a portal into another world. And wandering solo around the island? That's where you truly feel the pulse of this unique spot.

But, the night tour—totally spine-tingling! As the sun dipped and darkness cloaked the island, it was like witnessing history's shadows dancing around you. The eerie vibes got cranked up a notch, making the experience an immersive journey into the unknown.

While navigating the island solo was a breeze and incredibly fulfilling, a heads-up: no food joints here! Pack some munchies before you hop aboard. But fear not, there's free Wi-Fi to keep you tethered to the world even in this remote realm.

And the city tour? A blast! Our guide made exploring a barrel of laughs, infusing it with personalized stories and fun tidbits.

Overall, I'm waving flags for the Alcatraz Night Tour to anyone popping by San Francisco. It's a one-of-a-kind journey through the Bay Area's history and beyond that'll leave you spellbound and craving more.

“Alcatraz Day Trip to Alcatraz is Really Fun and Worth the Effort!”

A trip to Alcatraz Island is more than just an outing; it's an absolute blast and worth every bit of effort! My adventure began with a breathtaking ferry ride to the island, catching the 1:30 p.m. departure amid the winter schedule. Thankfully, the weather turned out to be picture-perfect.

Arriving at the island, I was immediately struck by its raw, rugged beauty. The imposing cellhouse loomed in the distance, an imposing relic of its past as a high-security prison. Opting for the audio tour was an incredible choice—it led me through the prison's nooks and crannies, from the bustling kitchen to the notorious D-block, the warden's office, visitation room, library, and even the barber shop. Learning about infamous inmates like Robert Franklin Stroud, the "Birdman of Alcatraz," brought the prison's history vividly to life. Walking the halls, imagining their lives, gave me chills and an immense sense of respect.

Post-audio tour, I took time to explore the prison grounds. Even without guidance, the eerie vibe and storied past of Alcatraz held me captive. Venturing around the island and peeking into the New Industries Building added a charming layer to the experience.

While I missed out on the Nighttime Tour, rave reviews from friends convinced me it's a can't-miss for any history buff. Yet, the Day Trip was an absolute delight, leaving me with a richer understanding of this iconic landmark.

This Alcatraz Day Trip isn't just a box to check; it's an adventure that breathes life into San Francisco's past. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone eager to immerse themselves in the city's vibrant history. This experience has left me feeling grateful for the chance to delve into the depths of this legendary island. The city tour with Mary exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended

This review has been translated from German:

Ich hatte kürzlich das Vergnügen, den Alcatraz Tagesausflug zu machen und ich muss sagen, es war eine unvergessliche Erfahrung, die ich jedem empfehlen würde, der San Francisco besucht. Die Fährfahrt zur Insel war absolut atemberaubend und ich hatte das Glück, die Abfahrt um 13:30 Uhr zu erwischen. Trotz des Winterfahrplans war das Wetter perfekt.

Einmal auf der Insel angekommen, wurde ich sofort von der schroffen Schönheit der Umgebung beeindruckt. Das hohe Gefängnisgebäude ragte in der Ferne auf und war ein Zeugnis für die Geschichte der Insel als Hochsicherheitsgefängnis. Ich entschied mich für die Audio-Tour, die mich durch die verschiedenen Teile des Gefängnisses führte, darunter die Küche, D-Block, das Büro des Gefängnisdirektors, der Besuchsraum, die Bibliothek und der Friseursalon. Es war faszinierend, etwas über die berüchtigten Verbrecher zu erfahren, die einst hier gefangen gehalten wurden, wie Robert Franklin Stroud, besser bekannt als der "Birdman of Alcatraz.” Durch die Gänge zu gehen und sich vorzustellen, wie das Leben für die Gefangenen gewesen sein muss, war sowohl demütigend als auch schauerlich.

Nach der Audio-Tour nahm ich mir Zeit, um einfach auf dem Gefängnisgelände herumzulaufen. Auch ohne die geführte Tour war die unheimliche Atmosphäre des Gefängnisses und seine schreckliche Geschichte eine faszinierende Erfahrung. Ich hatte auch die Gelegenheit, die Insel und das New Industries Building zu erkunden, was zum Charme des Besuchs beitrug.

Obwohl ich nicht an der Nacht-Tour teilnehmen konnte, habe ich von Freunden gehört, dass es ein Muss für alle ist, die sich für die Geschichte und das Geheimnis von Alcatraz interessieren. Trotzdem war der Tagesausflug eine fantastische Möglichkeit, den Tag zu verbringen, und ich kam mit dem Gefühl zurück, dass ich eine tiefere Wertschätzung für dieses ikonische Wahrzeichen gewonnen hatte.

Insgesamt würde ich den Alcatraz Tagesausflug jedem empfehlen, der San Francisco besucht. Es ist eine einzigartige und fessel

“Mob of the Dead in real life at Alcatraz”

Alcatraz, a must-visit, truly delivers an unreal experience. Walking through the island, you're transported back into the gripping history that unfolded there.

Once a notorious federal prison, Alcatraz Island hosted some of America's most infamous criminals. The cell block, where the inmates resided, peels back the layers of their daily existence amidst stringent regulations. Stepping into these cells offers a window into the gritty realities of prison life, a testament to the island's intricate past. Positioned amidst the San Francisco Bay, the island treats visitors to awe-inspiring vistas of the city's skyline and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

Exploring Alcatraz's cell block isn't just a tour; it's an immersive plunge into history, architecture, and the workings of the justice system. It's an eye-opening experience that transcends time, perfect for anyone fascinated by gripping narratives and the complexities of the past.

“Alcatraz and the City Combo Tour is Very Nice and Worth the Money”

Our tour guide Buddy was absolutely amazing—he's definitely a 5-star local expert guide.Buddy is fluent in German and his knowledge of the city is impressive. He gave us a personalized and immersive tour in German, and we got so much more out of the experience because of him. We were lucky to have him as our guide!

Alcatraz prison tour is definitely a must-see attraction, just like all the other reviewers say. The history, the fun facts, and the amazing views were all unforgettable. This tour is worth every penny and every mile traveled. It's hard to believe how much we learned in just a few hours.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the San Francisco area. If you can, request Buddy as your guide—you won't regret it. Don't hesitate, just book it!

“Die Alcatraz- und Stadtkombitour ist sehr schön und ihr Geld wert.”

Unser Reiseleiter Buddy war absolut unglaublich - er ist definitiv ein 5-Sterne-Expertenführer. Buddy spricht fließend Deutsch und sein Wissen über die Stadt ist beeindruckend. Er gab uns eine personalisierte und immersive Tour auf Deutsch, und wir haben aufgrund seiner Fähigkeiten und seines Wissens viel mehr aus dem Erlebnis herausgeholt. Wir hatten Glück, ihn als unseren Führer zu haben! Die Alcatraz-Gefängnistour ist definitiv eine Sehenswürdigkeit, die man gesehen haben muss, genau wie alle anderen Rezensenten sagen. Die Geschichte, die Spaßfakten und die atemberaubenden Ausblicke waren alle unvergesslich. Diese Tour ist jeden Penny und jede zurückgelegte Meile wert. Es ist schwer zu glauben, wie viel wir in nur wenigen Stunden gelernt haben. Ich empfehle diese Tour jedem, der die Gegend von San Francisco besucht. Wenn möglich, fragen Sie nach Buddy als Ihrem Guide - Sie werden es nicht bereuen. Zögern Sie nicht, buchen Sie einfach! Markus Rottner Vöcklamarkt, Oberösterreich, Österreich

Alcatraz Tales & Our Guide Were Very Enthusiastic and Accommodating

I just have to shout out about the incredible trip I had with your team! It was an absolute blast. The tour was awesome, and our guide, Alan, was enthusiastic, full of excitement, and made every story about the city's history feel like an adventure.

Let's talk Alcatraz—wow! The audio tour wasn't just informative; it was like stepping into a time machine! It brought that eerie history to life, and we had a blast exploring the island and soaking in those killer views of the city and the bay.

Organization was on point! We had ample time at each spot, and getting around was a breeze. Plus, with a small group, it felt like a personalized journey, not your typical cookie-cutter tour.

This trip was like a crash course in the city's coolest bits, from history to culture. Major thanks for curating such a memorable and downright awesome experience!"

Big Redwoods Adventure & Excellent Horseback Ride on The Beach !

Exploring the big redwoods and a beachside horseback ride made for an unforgettable family day! Despite the mist making the trails a tad soggy, the adventure was nothing short of fantastic. Those horses? Happiest equines around! Well-cared for and unbelievably well-mannered, they made the ride a breeze. The team? Super friendly!

Once we trotted along, we reached this tranquil, postcard-perfect beach, a slice of serenity.

Post-ride, our lively tour guide zipped us off to Santa Cruz, where we savored a fresh and delectable seafood platter at a Wharf-side restaurant. The views? Oh-so-perfect for our family feast!

But, the cherry on top? Exploring the stunning forest of colossal redwoods in Santa Cruz mountains. Compared to Muir Woods, this gem was less crowded, and those redwoods? Towering giants, older and grander than I've ever seen!

On our way back to the hotel in San Francisco, our guide surprised us with a quick stop at Apple's new headquarters in Silicon Valley. While we explored the visitor center and store, our son sneakily flew his drone over Apple's spaceship-like architecture, enjoying the view from above!

This outdoor escapade? Top-notch! This team? A definite must-try!

Best insider guided tech tour of Silicon Valley in Spanish

My son and I were very excited about the idea of touring Silicon Valley tech companies and museums with a Spanish speaking travel guide. We have just got off a group bus tour that took us to Los Angles, Vegas, Grand Canyon, Death Valley and Yosemite, but Silicon Valley day tour was on our mind during this long journey. This is the best tour company and the only operator who offers private guided tours in Spanish, and with real tour guides, not just drivers. The booking process was hassle-free, and they responded promptly to all our inquiries and questions through their live chat and emails - and all responses were in perfect Spanish. We could not have asked for more than that, but we would have preferred to get the feedback in Catalan though (just kidding!).

My parents visited Silicon Valley and San Jose with this travel agency back in 2006, and they highly recommended them. We were not disappointed either. In fact, we managed to visit Intel Museum, Ebay, the computer history museum, and Cisco from inside, and we had a private walking tour of Stanford and Apple with  our fun and awesome Spanish speaking tour guide (Adam).

If you like Silicon Valley high tech companies, and want a real tour and worry-free tour package, go with this travel company. You’ll be in very good hands. Trust me, I’m a real customer from Barcelona, and not just a PR writing a review. We also added 2 hours overtime for only $89 instead of $139, and we even got an extra hour for free. We also stopped at Google campus, YouTube, Facebook, HP garage and high-tech start up stores in Palo Alto and San Jose. My son was so happy when we visited a Tesla retail store in San Jose.  Without the knowledge and expertise of our tour guide, Adam, we would have not even visited 10% of what we have accomplished in one day. We felt that we had a good friend in town. Adam is very down-to-earth and make everything goes so smooth and easy. This made our journey a memorable trip in Silicon Valley.  Moltes gràcies Adán

El millor recorregut tècnic insider de Silicon Valley en espanyol (translated from catalan)

El meu fill i jo estàvem molt emocionats amb la idea de fer una visita guiada a les empreses tecnològiques i als museus de Silicon Valley amb un guia turístic de parla espanyola. Acabàvem de finalitzar un recorregut en autobús en grup que ens va portar a Los Angeles, Las Vegas, el Gran Canyó, Death Valley i Yosemite, però durant aquest llarg viatge teníem present el recorregut de dia per Silicon Valley.

Aquesta és la millor companyia de recorreguts i l'única operadora que ofereix visites guiades privades en espanyol, amb autèntics guies turístics, no només conductors. El procés de reserva va ser sense problemes i van respondre ràpidament a totes les nostres consultes i preguntes a través del seu xat en viu i correus electrònics, i totes les respostes van ser en un espanyol perfecte. No podríem haver demanat res més, però hauríem preferit rebre la resposta en català (és broma!).

Els meus pares van visitar Silicon Valley i San Jose amb aquesta agència de viatges el 2006 i els van recomanar molt. Nosaltres tampoc no vam quedar decebuts. De fet, vam aconseguir visitar el Museu d'Intel, Ebay, el museu de la història de la informàtica i Cisco des de dins, i vam fer un recorregut a peu privat per Stanford i Apple amb el nostre guia turístic de parla espanyola divertit i impressionant (Adam).

Si t'agraden les empreses tecnològiques d'alta tecnologia de Silicon Valley i vols un recorregut real i sense preocupacions, tria aquesta agència de viatges. Estaràs en molt bones mans. Confia en mi, sóc un client real de Barcelona, no només una relacions públiques escrivint una opinió.

També vam afegir 2 hores extra per només 89 dòlars en lloc de 139, i fins i tot vam obtenir una hora extra de franc. També vam fer una parada al campus de Google, YouTube, Facebook, al garatge d'HP i a botigues de noves empreses tecnològiques a Palo Alto i San Jose. El meu fill estava tan feliç quan vam visitar una botiga de Tesla a San Jose. Sense el coneixement i l'expertesa del nostre guia turístic, Adam, no hauríem visitat ni tan sols el 10% del que hem aconseguit en un sol dia. Vam sentir que teníem un bon amic a la ciutat. Adam és molt pràctic i fa que tot vagi tan fluït i fàcil. Això va fer que el nostre viatge fos una experiència memorable a Silicon Valley.

 

                     Moltes gràcies, Adam. Josep. M Barcelona, Catalunya

                     

 

Geweldige baancruise rond Alcatraz Island

Dit is een geweldig alternatieve tourervaring wanneer Alcatraz-tickets zijn uitverkocht. We waren teleurgesteld dat we geen Alcatraz-tickets konden krijgen. Volgende keer zullen we anticiperen en Alcatraz-tickets van tevoren boeken. We waren blij met deze reis, omdat het onze privétour door de stad combineerde met de veercruise rond Alcatraz Island. We slaagden erin om de belangrijkste attracties van de stad te zien tijdens een halve dag tour, en dat was de perfecte manier om het te doen. De boottocht duurde iets meer dan een uur, een reis die ons meenam door de Baai van San Francisco, rond Alcatraz Island en onder de Golden Gate Bridge door. We hadden de volgende dag een trip naar Hearst Castle met dit tourbedrijf, en het was onze laatste dag in Californië. We hebben enorm genoten in Big Sur en de rondleiding door Hearst Castle was erg leuk. Het was een lange dagtocht, maar zeker de moeite waard.

The Alcatraz Island Tour: A Splendid Investment of Time and Money!

Venturing into Alcatraz for the first time was an absolute eye-opener! Despite multiple visits to San Francisco, I'd never set foot on The Rock until now. And boy, was it impressive! It's a must-do that should be on everyone's list at least once. We opted for the Alcatraz and UC Berkeley Campus combo tour with our little ones—talk about a well-planned, stress-free experience, covering it all. Berkeley itself is a gem, and UC Berkeley? Totally mind-blowing!

Alcatraz itself? A bucket-list gem, folks. The self-guided audio tour in the prison digs deep into its history, the notable inmates, and all the tales behind 'The Rock.' Here's the kicker—we crossed paths with an author who was once a resident during the notorious escape and breakout. Talk about intriguing!

Word to the wise: snag those tickets well ahead! The uphill trek might be a tad steep, but take it easy, and you'll make it. Trust me, anyone can handle it with a bit of patience.

For families with little explorers? This combo tour is a total win! Highly recommended for a memorable outing with the kiddos!

An awesome horseback ride on the beach and Alcatraz tour

We were at our wit's end trying to nab those Alcatraz tickets! Every avenue led to sold-out signs—no luck, no joy, until alcatraztoursf.com swooped in and saved the day. Talk about a relief!

To wrangle those elusive Alcatraz prison tickets, we went for a combo deal: Alcatraz plus a horseback ride on the beach. Half-Moon Bay served up a cool day, but the views along the Pacific Coast Highway? Absolutely jaw-dropping!

This tour crew is top-notch, and Mary, our guide, was an absolute gem! She went above and beyond—it felt less like a tour and more like kicking back with a buddy. And hold onto your hats, folks—she took us on a spin through Golden Gate Park, then landed us at the Beach Chalet for snacks and some cheeky beer tasting! Picture-perfect ocean views, beach vibes, and brewskis all in one spot.

Thumbs up all around! Highly recommend this unforgettable escapade!

An awesome horseback ride on the beach and Alcatraz tour

We were on the brink of despair trying to snag those elusive Alcatraz tickets. Sold out, sold out, and sold out—everywhere we looked! Just when we thought all hope was lost, enter stage right: alcatraztoursf.com! Talk about a lifesaver!

To get our mitts on those Alcatraz prison tickets, we went for a combo tour—cue the horseback ride on the beach at Half-Moon Bay. Sure, it was a bit chilly, but oh boy, was it worth it! Cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway? Mind-blowing scenery galore!

This tour company? A real gem. Mary, our tour guide, was an absolute legend! Felt less like a tour and more like hanging out with a mate. She even took us on a spin through Golden Gate Park, and then—hold onto your hats—we stopped for some cheeky snacks and a spot of beer tasting at the beach chalet! Talk about views—ocean, beach, and brews, all in one breathtaking scene.

High-fives to this unforgettable adventure! Martin Navaro, signing off with a big thumbs-up!

Highly recommend.

Tour combinado de Silicon Valley y Alcatraz

¡Menuda aventura llena de tecnología! Comenzamos en el flamante nuevo campus de Apple, ¡la arquitectura tipo 'nave espacial' es alucinante! ¡Y la visita guiada con un experto de Apple fue de primera!

Luego, un torbellino por Google, Palo Alto y Stanford, ¡ojalá tuviéramos todo el día para disfrutarlo! Pero hey, el reloj avanza rápido, ¡y zumbando de vuelta a San Francisco para la joya de la corona: ¡Alcatraz! ¡Esa visita a la prisión fue el punto culminante de nuestra aventura!

¡Pulgares arriba de esta viajera aficionada a la tecnología! Martha Leon desde Barcelona, España.

Talk about a tech-fueled extravaganza! We kicked things off at Apple's slick new campus—the ‘spaceship’ architecture? Mind-blowing! The guided tour with an actual Apple whiz? Top-notch! Then, it's a whirlwind through Google, Palo Alto, and Stanford—wish we had all day to soak it in! But hey, the clock's ticking, and it's zoom-zoom back to San Fran for the pièce de résistance—Alcatraz! That prison tour? Epic highlight of our adventure. Thumbs up from this tech-savvy traveler!

Fantastic horseback ride near Muir Woods and Stinson Beach

Giddy up for an epic adventure near Muir Woods and Stinson Beach! Pat, our jolly Irish guide, scooped us up for a grand day out. First stop: brekkie in Mill Valley—gotta fuel up for the day's escapade, right?

Then, bam! Muir Woods—serenity in a forest! Massive redwoods towered above, and the trails were a mixed bag—easy peasy strolls or daredevil paths for the brave. We tackled both, with the ankle-biters handling those twisty trails like champs!

Post-woods, it's chow time at Stinson Beach—fish tacos, anyone? Fresh as a daisy and locally sourced, it's a picnic paradise! And guess what's nearby? Bolinas—a hidden gem where we saddled up for a wild hour of horseback riding in the forest. A bit of a giggle, considering it was our first rodeo!

An epic family saga etched in Marin County lore. Cheers, Pat, for the ripper memories!

The Best Alcatraz Island-Napa Valley Wineries Combo Tour

Indulging in the essence of California's wine country alongside the mystique of Alcatraz Island—now that's a day well spent! Our guide, Leo, was the ultimate maestro of tours, blending expertise with an infectious zest for exploration. From the moment we met him in the hotel lobby, his warmth made us feel right at home. And can we talk about the luxurious SUV? Clean, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for navigating places off-limits to bigger vehicles. Leo even kicked off our day with a drive down Lombard Street—a treat for the eyes with its stunning blooms. Not to mention, a pit stops at the iconic Golden Gate Bridge en route to Napa Valley.

This tour outfit boasts an exclusive connection with top-notch wineries in Napa Valley. We ventured off the beaten path to two intimate wineries—hidden gems not accessible to group tours. Inside the cellars and caves, we immersed ourselves in a captivating walking tour before delving into a divine food and wine pairing experience. Learning the art of winemaking and the nuances of wine tasting paired with the perfect culinary match—now that's the stuff private tours are made of! Bid adieu to commercial wineries and crowded bus tours; this is quality time well spent, though a tad steep on the pocket, worth every single penny.

Returning to San Francisco, a dense fog shrouded Alcatraz Island—a familiar sight in the summertime. Yet, the ferry ride was a blast, whisking us away to the prison where the audio tour was an absolute must-do and highly recommended.

In all our travels, this tour and Leo topped the charts. He went above and beyond, surpassing our wildest expectations!

(Original review in Spanish ): El Mejor Tour Combinado de Alcatraz y Bodegas en el Valle de Napa

Disfrutar de la esencia del país del vino de California junto al misterio de la Isla de Alcatraz, ¡eso sí es un día bien aprovechado! Nuestro guía, Leo, era el maestro definitivo de los tours, mezclando experiencia con un entusiasmo contagioso por la exploración. Desde el momento en que lo conocimos en el vestíbulo del hotel, su calidez nos hizo sentir como en casa. Y ¿podemos hablar del lujoso SUV? Limpio, cómodo y perfecto para navegar lugares inaccesibles para vehículos más grandes. Leo incluso comenzó nuestro día con un paseo por Lombard Street, un deleite para los ojos con sus impresionantes flores. Sin mencionar las paradas en el icónico Puente Golden Gate en ruta hacia el Valle de Napa.

Esta agencia de turismo presume de una conexión exclusiva con bodegas de primera en el Valle de Napa. Nos aventuramos fuera del camino trillado hacia dos bodegas íntimas, joyas escondidas no accesibles en tours grupales. Dentro de las bodegas y cuevas, nos sumergimos en un cautivador recorrido a pie antes de sumergirnos en una experiencia divina de maridaje de comida y vino. Aprender el arte de la elaboración del vino y las sutilezas de la cata de vinos combinados con el maridaje culinario perfecto, ¡eso es lo que hacen los tours privados! Despídase de las bodegas comerciales y los abarrotados tours en autobús; este es un tiempo de calidad bien invertido, aunque un poco caro, pero vale cada centavo.

Al regresar a San Francisco, una densa niebla envolvía la Isla de Alcatraz, una vista familiar en verano. Sin embargo, el paseo en ferry fue genial, llevándonos a la prisión donde el tour de audio era imprescindible y altamente recomendado.

En todos nuestros viajes, este tour y Leo se llevaron el primer lugar. Él superó todas nuestras expectativas, y más."

An awesome Alcatraz & balloon experience - a bucket-list adventure.

Who knew mixing hot-air balloons and Alcatraz would be the ultimate recipe for an adventure-packed day? Let me tell you about our jaw-dropping, bucket-list-worthy experience!

Right from the get-go, we were surrounded by a squad of awesome folks. Picture this: Mary, our guide extraordinaire, brought the fun, and Jason, our hot-air balloon pilot, was the real deal. These guys made safety and comfort their middle names. Before taking flight and as we touched ground, we were wrapped in a bubble of security and ease. Post-balloon ride, cue the clinking glasses! We sat down to a scrumptious champagne breakfast, swapping tales with Jason, the crew, and our guide. Then, off we went to the Opus One winery, sipping on some top-notch vino before zipping back to San Francisco for the pièce de résistance: Alcatraz!

Picture this scene: we breezed in just 30 minutes before the ferry set sail to the infamous island. Talk about perfect timing!

Listen up, fellow adventurers! This combo is an absolute winner, even if you're not a fan of early wake-up calls. Trust us, we hate waking up so early but this was beyond awesome—it was bucket-list level, the crème de la crème of travel experiences! If there's one thing we can guarantee, it's that this adventure? It's a memory etched in our hearts forever.

Stay adventurous, Wanderlust Enthusiasts

Ahoy there, fellow traveler! Let me tell you about this nifty little adventure

Ahoy there, fellow traveler! Let me tell you about this nifty little adventure: the bay cruise boat tour circling Alcatraz Island. So, picture this: we were all hyped up to snag those elusive Alcatraz tickets, but alas, luck wasn't on our side. Cue a teensy bit of disappointment.

But hold up! Our backup plan turned out to be an absolute gem. This combo trip whisked us around San Francisco's star-studded spots, giving us a taste of all the iconic landmarks we were itching to see. And let me tell ya, the Bay cruise? Oh, it's a shutterbug's paradise! Snapping pics of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge? Check and check!

Oh, and guess what? The weather gods were smiling down on us that day. So, what do we do? We strut our stuff to Pier 39, eager to catch sight of those quirky sea lions. Cool spot? Absolutely. Crowded? You betcha! But hey, rubbing elbows with the crowd just added to the charm.

All in all, while we missed out on Alcatraz's secrets, this cruise turned the tide and made it a day to remember. Sometimes Plan B turns out to be a surprise hit, huh?

Cheers,

Wine, Pastries, and Alcatraz: A Perfect Day in California

Our day kicked off with a Tuscan-inspired tasting at Viansa Winery, and let me tell you, it was like stepping into the heart of Italy. The cozy rustic patio, the amazing wine selection – it brought back memories of our trip to the Italian countryside. And the best part? The Italian Marketplace with organic, locally produced goodies. We even indulged in some olive oil tasting – talk about a sensory delight!

After soaking up the wine vibes, we headed to the charming old downtown of Sonoma. Lunch at Basque Boulangerie & Café was a quick but delicious affair. Pastries, soups, and salads that hit all the right notes – the perfect fuel for what lay ahead.

Next stop: Alcatraz. The ferry ride alone, with killer views of San Fran and the Golden Gate Bridge, set the tone for an unforgettable adventure. Stepping into that infamous prison was intense. The audio tour was a game-changer – real stories from inmates and guards gave me goosebumps. You could practically feel the history in the air.

And then came the surprise – the gardens on Alcatraz were like a breath of fresh air. A secret escape with killer views of the city, where we took goofy pics, wandered through flowers, and even made friends with seagulls.

Alcatraz turned out to be a mixtape of dark history and unexpected joy. It's the kind of day that stays with you – the stories, the views, and the unexpected fun. From sipping wine in a Tuscan setting to exploring the eerie history of Alcatraz, it was a date to remember, blending the best of California's charm and history. Cheers to unforgettable experiences!

Fun day outing in Muir Woods, Sausalito, and San Francisco

Oh, buckle up for the deets on this epic day tour that whisked us off into a wonderland of Muir Woods magic, Sausalito's chill vibes, and San Francisco's crazy charms. It's the kind of day that makes you do a happy dance weeks later.

So, picture this: Lombard Street in San Fran, the crookedest street in the world. Our day kicked off with a wild ride through its twists and turns, setting the vibe for the adventure ahead. Before diving into the redwoods, we hit not one but two jaw-dropping spots: the Palace of Fine Arts and Presidio National Park. And let's not forget the Yoda Fountain coffee break – because why settle for ordinary pitstops? Now, Golden Gate Bridge – pure photo perfection, my friend. The bridge, the bay, the lighting – it was like a Hollywood set for our Insta-worthy shots.

Muir Woods was a total switch-up – tranquility hit us like a wave as we strolled among those colossal redwoods, leaving the city chaos behind. Our guide? A walking encyclopedia dropping knowledge bombs about trees and forest history. Suddenly, a simple walk in the woods became this unexpectedly meaningful journey.

Sausalito, the hidden gem! Lunch was a taste explosion, thanks to a local spot that knows how to whip up magic. Post-feast, we wandered through charming streets, soaking in views of the Bay and Alcatraz that belonged on every postcard.

Muir Woods: Ein Muss für einen Tagesausflug von San Francisco

Wenn Sie sich in San Francisco aufhalten und einen Tag übrig haben, empfehle ich Ihnen dringend einen Ausflug nach Muir Woods und Stinson Beach. Wir kamen früh an und waren angenehm überrascht von der geringen Anzahl an Besuchern. Die hoch aufragenden Mammutbäume spendeten reichlich Schatten, aber die Temperatur war angenehm. Während die Hauptwege atemberaubende Ausblicke bieten, können Sie auch auf die offenen Pfade abbiegen, um ein abgelegeneres und ruhigeres Erlebnis zu genießen. Meine Familie und ich folgten dem Hauptweg bis zur Brücke 4, wo wir die frische Luft und die Schönheit der hohen Mammutbäume genossen. Obwohl es andere Wege zu erkunden gibt, fanden wir, dass der Hauptweg die perfekte Länge für eine gemütliche Wanderung war. Insgesamt ist Muir Woods für jeden, der sich in San Francisco aufhält, ein absolutes Muss. Die Ruhe und Gelassenheit des Waldes bieten eine willkommene Abwechslung zum hektischen Treiben der Stadt.

                     

                     

 

Muir Woods: A Must-Visit Day Trip from San Francisco

If you find yourself in San Francisco with a spare day, I highly recommend a trip to Muir Woods and Stinson Beach. We arrived early and were pleasantly surprised by the lack of crowds. The towering redwoods provided ample shade, and the temperature was comfortable. While the main trails offer stunning views, you can also venture off into the open paths for a more secluded and serene experience.

My family and I followed the main trail to Bridge 4, where we took in the fresh air and the beauty of the tall redwoods. Although there are other trails to explore, we found that the main trail was the perfect length for a leisurely hike.

Overall, Muir Woods is an absolute must-visit for anyone in San Francisco. The peace and tranquility of the forest offer a welcome break from the city’s hustle and bustle.

                     

                     

 

“息をのむ景色と素晴らしいセコイアの木”

 駐車場の予約を取るのは本当に面倒でしたが、車での移動を諦め、RVをパシフィカに置いてこのツアーカンパニーを利用することにしました。公共のツアーよりも費用はかかりましたが、それだけの価値があり、時間と手間を省くことができました。完全にプライベートで、より親密で個人的な感じがしました。セコイアの木に行ったことがない人には、ぜひ行ってみることをお勧めします。それはサンフランシスコからそれほど遠くない素晴らしい場所です。サンフランシスコベイエリアで利用可能な最高の自然体験の一つで、きれいな公園と素晴らしいセコイアの木々があります。絶対に価値があります！皆さんもぜひ時間を取ってミューアウッズを訪れるべきです。

Un'Avventura nei Redwood Indimenticabile - Una Gita in Famiglia da Ricordare

Il nostro viaggio nei Parchi Nazionali e Statali dei Redwood ha superato le nostre aspettative! Mentre Muir Woods è indubbiamente splendido, i giganteschi redwood che abbiamo incontrato in questi parchi ci hanno lasciato completamente sbalorditi. Abbiamo optato per il pacchetto di tour di 2 giorni con questa azienda, che includeva un soggiorno presso il delizioso Gingerbread Mansion Inn a Ferndale, aggiungendo un tocco di fascino extra alla nostra avventura. L'assoluto punto culminante? Esplorare la Rockefeller Forest nella Contea di Humboldt, dove la bellezza della natura ci ha avvolto in un abbraccio mozzafiato. Questa esperienza è un must per chiunque cerchi un incontro indimenticabile con la natura in California.

Grandi complimenti alla compagnia di tour - le loro guide sono enciclopedie ambulanti e il loro servizio è di prim'ordine. Il viaggio verso Muir Woods, ricco di curve panoramiche, è stato reso ancora più piacevole dal nostro autista, che ha arricchito il viaggio con curiosità interessanti sul canyon ripido dove crescono questi magnifici redwood. Questo è il luogo ideale per immergersi nella foresta di redwood senza il mal di testa delle prenotazioni dei parchi o delle difficoltà di parcheggio.

All'arrivo a Muir Woods, l'ingresso principale ci ha accolto comodamente proprio di fronte al parcheggio. Niente folle e abbiamo acquistato i biglietti per soli $15 a persona. I più piccoli sono entrati gratuitamente, ma il mio suggerimento è di prendere l'abbonamento annuale NP per $80 - una mossa intelligente per risparmiare nel lungo termine.

Dopo l'esplorazione di Muir Woods, ci siamo avventurati nella graziosa oasi di Sausalito, assolutamente da visitare. E lasciate che vi dica, prendere il traghetto di ritorno a San Francisco non è solo un tragitto - è un banchetto visivo che vale assolutamente la pena.

In poche parole, la nostra famiglia è stata viziata da un'avventura indimenticabile e non posso raccomandarla abbastanza a chiunque si trovi nella zona.

Nature's Sanctuary: Communing with the Timeless Giants

If you're in pursuit of tranquility and a truly awe-inspiring encounter, the redwood trees of Muir Woods are an absolute marvel. Make it an early rendezvous and meander off the usual path, allowing yourself to become enveloped in the grandeur of these ancient behemoths. Our tour guide was nothing short of extraordinary, granting us ample time to reflect and meditate in this age-old forest. The sheer magnificence of the giant redwoods left us in a state of profound inspiration.

Navigating our journey with the company was a breeze, and the professionalism of their tour guides elevated our visit to new heights of enjoyment. Booking through their website is a choice we stand by with confidence. Seize this chance to bask in the natural beauty and marvel of Muir Woods – you won't want to miss it.

Muir Woods unfolds as a playground for families with kids, offering abundant sights without requiring extensive hikes. The well-kept boardwalks, complete with signage and benches, make exploration a delight. Don't pass up the chance to visit Cathedral Grove for a glimpse of the tallest and oldest redwood trees in the park. While the Muir Woods overlook might challenge some with its steepness, the breathtaking vista from the parking lot is still a sight to behold.

For a different twist, we opted out of Sausalito and, with a simple request to our tour guide, found ourselves in Tiburon, a quaint town where we savored lunch with panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay. Taking the ferry from Tiburon to San Francisco is a non-negotiable; the tickets are budget-friendly, and the journey across the bay is a treasure in itself.

An Idyllic Half-Day Getaway: Escaping the Urban Hustle – This concise adventure is a worthwhile investment and a breeze.

Whether you're cruising in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller, the boardwalk and trail boast a smooth, paved path, guiding you effortlessly through the park's lush groves. Tailored for the whole family, the trail's difficulty level is a gentle breeze. Steer clear of trekking all the way to Bridge 4 with a stroller; the path turns uneven, and the payoff isn't worth the effort. The kiddos, on the other hand, had a blast snacking at the café, where cheeky chipmunks provided close-up entertainment.

Muir Woods stands as a gem in California's lush forests. Despite its proximity to the city, the park exudes a tranquil countryside vibe, making it a perfect spot for unhurried exploration. With well-maintained trails, you can wander at your leisure, fully immersed in the beauty of nature.

Our inaugural stroll among the majestic redwoods was nothing short of magical and spiritually uplifting, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. A special shoutout to Mary, our tour guide, and the tour company, ensuring a day trip free of worries. This experience was undeniably splendid and etched in our memories for a replay we'd eagerly embrace.

Excellent Muir Woods Half-Day Trip

"加州亲子度假之旅—旧金山是我们的最后一站" 我们家最近参观了加州，旧金山是我们的最后一站。我们听说了这座城市著名的酸面包和缪尔森林，所以决定去这两个地方看看。起初，我们在寻找奥尔卡特拉兹的门票和处理缪尔森林的许可证和预订方面遇到了一些麻烦，但后来我们决定预订这个全包半日游，包括缪尔森林和奥尔卡特拉兹岛。尽管花费超出了我们的预期，但节省了我们大量的时间和麻烦。 缪尔森林非常美丽而宁静，是看到巨大红杉的好地方。另一方面，奥尔卡特拉兹监狱相当阴森，监狱牢房又小又黑暗。尽管如此，参观仍然很有趣，现在我们可以从清单上划掉它了。 总体而言，我们在加州和旧金山度过了一个美好的家庭之旅，我们会推荐这个全包游览给任何想要充分利用他们在该地区时间的人。

"Une excellente expérience ! Un excellent choix"

Notre guide touristique nous a retrouvés dans le hall de notre hôtel et nous a fait découvrir certaines des attractions incontournables de la ville. San Francisco a tellement à offrir, et notre guide était excellent, nous montrant quelques pépites cachées et prenant même quelques photos d'experts pour nous.

Après la visite de la ville, nous avons déjeuné au Spinnaker à Sausalito. La salle à manger principale offrait une vue magnifique sur la baie, et nous avons apprécié l'atmosphère pittoresque et élégante de cette ville balnéaire. Ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus spéciale, c'est le fait qu'aucune chaîne de restauration rapide n'y est autorisée, la rendant exclusive et valant la peine d'être visitée.

Nous sommes arrivés à Muir Woods à l'heure, car les réservations sont désormais nécessaires. Après un bon repas, rien de mieux que de se promener, et la forêt de séquoias était l'endroit parfait pour le faire. Nous nous attendions à une foule importante, mais nous avons été agréablement surpris de constater à quel point c'était peu fréquenté. Les arbres géants et anciens sont massifs et inspirants. Enlacez un arbre et laissez-le vous transmettre de bonnes vibrations.

Si vous faites la randonnée sur le sentier de la canopée, assurez-vous de porter des chaussures robustes et d'apporter beaucoup d'eau. Cependant, ne montez pas jusqu'en haut comme nous l'avons fait ; il nous a fallu une éternité pour revenir au parking. Je recommande vivement cette visite combinée car elle est totalement privée et proposée à un prix raisonnable.

"Increíble Experiencia en la Excursión de Medio Día a Muir Woods con Buddy "

La entrada principal de Muir Woods estaba a solo un corto paseo desde nuestro estacionamiento. Como veteranos militares, pudimos obtener boletos gratuitos y estábamos emocionados de caminar entre los increíbles secuoyas. Nos dirigimos a Cathedral Grove y rodeamos el arroyo. Mirando hacia arriba, nos maravillamos con las grandes protuberancias en los árboles de secuoya. Fue una vista impresionante. Hay que tener en cuenta que no hay servicio de celular en el Monumento Nacional Muir Woods. Sin embargo, pudimos obtener servicio en Muir Beach, que está a unas 5 millas al sur del parque.

Si visitas Muir Woods un domingo, te recomendamos encarecidamente que pruebes el buffet de almuerzo dominical en Pelican Inn en Muir Beach. Tiene un precio razonable y es delicioso. También se recomienda Muir Beach, y no está lejos del estacionamiento si puedes caminar. Es una hermosa cala, pero puede hacer viento allí.

Nuestra guía turística Buddy fue increíble. Como nativa de San Francisco, tenía un conocimiento increíble y brindó una experiencia inolvidable. Recomendamos encarecidamente reservar un tour con ella.

"Erstaunliche Halbtages-Muir-Woods-Tour-Erfahrung mit Mary"

Der Haupteingang von Muir Woods war nur einen kurzen Spaziergang von unserem Parkplatz entfernt. Als Militärveteranen konnten wir kostenlose Tickets erhalten und waren begeistert, zwischen den unglaublichen Mammutbäumen zu spazieren. Wir machten uns auf den Weg zur Cathedral Grove und liefen um den Bach herum. Als wir nach oben schauten, waren wir von den riesigen Wucherungen an den Mammutbäumen beeindruckt. Es war eine beeindruckende Aussicht. Beachten Sie, dass es im Muir Woods National Monument keinen Mobilfunkempfang gibt. Wir konnten jedoch Service in Muir Beach erhalten, das etwa 5 Meilen südlich des Parks liegt.

Wenn Sie Muir Woods an einem Sonntag besuchen, empfehlen wir dringend das Sonntags-Lunchbuffet im Pelican Inn in Muir Beach. Es ist preiswert und köstlich. Auch Muir Beach wird empfohlen und ist nicht weit vom Parkplatz entfernt, wenn Sie gehen können. Es ist eine wunderschöne Bucht, kann aber dort windig sein.

Unsere Reiseleiterin Mary war erstaunlich. Als gebürtige San Franciscoerin hatte sie unglaubliches Wissen und bot eine unvergessliche Erfahrung. Wir empfehlen dringend, eine Tour mit ihr zu buchen.

"거대한 나무와 작은 레드우드 솔잎!"

이 공원은 거대한 레드우드로 인상적입니다. 풍경을 즐기고 시간이 있다면 다리 4까지 걷는 것이 좋습니다. 그라운드에는 클로버와 작은 레드우드 솔잎이 가득합니다.

이 중에서도 제가 본 것 중 가장 작은 솔잎 중 하나입니다. 우리는 이 작은 솔잎이 거대한 레드우드에서 나왔다는 사실을 거의 믿을 수 없었습니다. 우리는 Stinson Beach를 정말 좋아했습니다. 아름답고 편안한 곳으로, Muir Woods에서의 당일 여행에 딱입니다. 굽이치는 산길을 올라가는 드라이브는 멋지며, 해안선과 황금빛 언덕의 아름다운 전망을 즐길 수 있습니다. 도착하면 해변을 산책하거나 근처 트레일 중 하나를 걸을 수 있습니다.

해변에서 산책을 즐긴 후에는 마을에서 맛있는 점심 식사를 즐겼습니다. 다양하지만 훌륭한 식사 옵션이 몇 가지 있지만 특히 Sand Dollar Restaurant에서 신선한 해산물을 즐겼습니다. 그들의 피쉬 앤 칩스는 완벽하게 바삭하고 클램 차우더는 풍부하고 풍미 있었습니다.

Vintage Vibes and Island Adventures: A Dreamy Napa-Alcatraz Expedition!

Jumping into the Napa-Alcatraz combo tour was an absolute delight! The online booking process was smoother than a finely aged cabernet, offering a myriad of tour times. Our guide, Jonathan, was an absolute gem—professional, courteous, and a wizard at securing those elusive Alcatraz tickets. He whisked us right on time to catch the ferry, no sweat!

The tour itself? A splendid blend of Napa's allure and Alcatraz's mystique. Our stop at Domain Carneros winery felt like a sip of heaven, followed by a scrumptious lunch spree in Sonoma downtown. But the real intrigue kicked in when we sailed back to San Fran for the Alcatraz stint. The jail tour? Riveting! The audio guide pulled us right into the stories, making the island's history come alive.

For busy bees buzzing through the city, this combo tour is a winner. Jonathan, our guide, was a maestro of flexibility, tailoring the trip to our fancies. An absolute must if you're exploring the area. Cheers to vintage wines and island tales!

Best regards,

"Talk about a day packed with adventure- UC Berkeley and Alcatraz!”

My family and I recently had this epic day trip that rocked our world—UC Berkeley Campus and Alcatraz Island.

So, we kick-started our day with Alan, our guide, who zipped us across the Oakland Bay Bridge straight to UC Berkeley. We were met by this cool Berkeley student, super friendly and oh-so-knowledgeable, who took us on this 75-minute stroll around the campus. Now, our daughter was all about Stanford, but this tour? Informative and surprisingly fun! We got the lowdown on UC Berkeley's history and vibe, and hey, it was pretty cool!

Next stop? Alcatraz Island for the prison tour. Let me tell you, the audio tour was the bomb! Engaging, full of info, and it made the whole prison history come alive. Kudos to the Alcatraz staff—they were super on it with keeping those audio sets squeaky clean. Major peace of mind, let me tell ya!

We strolled through the prison cell house, and man, the stories we heard! From prison escapes to the daily grind of inmates and staff on the "rock," it was like stepping into this whole other world. The tour was so well-organized, we stuck to the path like glue. And boy, the views from the island? Breathtaking!

I'm not kidding when I say this day trip was top-notch. UC Berkeley Campus and Alcatraz Island? They had everything—history, culture, and those stunning natural views. Definitely an experience we won't forget in a hurry!"

"Emociones Tecnológicas y Alcatraz: ¡Un Día Divertido para Toda la Familia!"

Comenzamos nuestro día con un recorrido matutino por Silicon Valley, uniéndonos a Adam en un viaje guiado que exploraba la combinación de Silicon Valley y Alcatraz, ¡todo en español! Adam fue genial; la SUV era amplia y cómoda. Silicon Valley resultó ser increíble: visitamos Googleplex, Oracle, Stanford y Palo Alto.

¡Alcatraz en sí fue suave y muy divertido! Sí, hubo un poco de caminata de arriba abajo por esas colinas, pero créeme, cada paso valió la pena por completo. Y no te preocupes, si caminar no es lo tuyo, ¡hay un tranvía eléctrico para moverte por allí! La isla es un paraíso para los amantes de las aves, y las plantas son alucinantes. ¡Ah, y ese paseo en barco! ¡Invaluable!

En resumen, este tour combinado fue una experiencia genial: una mezcla de paraíso tecnológico en Silicon Valley y el misterio histórico de Alcatraz. En serio, es una aventura que tienes que vivir. Cada momento valió la pena, ¡y ya estoy ansioso por hacerlo todo de nuevo!

"Tech Marvels and Alcatraz: A Fun Day for the Whole Family!"

We started our day with a morning Silicon Valley tour, joining Adam for a guided trip exploring the combo of Silicon Valley and Alcatraz, all in Spanish. Adam was a star; the SUV was roomy and comfortable. Silicon Valley turned out to be a blast—we checked out Googleplex, Oracle, Stanford, and Palo Alto.

Alcatraz itself was smooth sailing and tons of fun! Yep, there was a bit of walking up and down those hills, but trust me, each step was totally worth it. And don't worry, if walking's not your thing, there's an electric tram to zip you around. The island is a paradise for bird lovers, and the plants are mind-blowing. Oh, and that boat ride? Priceless!

Overall, this combo tour was a total blast—a mix of tech heaven in Silicon Valley and the historic intrigue of Alcatraz. Seriously, it's an adventure you've gotta experience. Every moment was worth it, and I'm already itching to do it all over again!

"Alcatraz and Napa Day Trip—Such a Neat Experience”

Going on this trip to Alcatraz and Napa Valley was seriously unique! Checking out the cell house on our own with those audio thingies was like diving into a gripping story. You could hear from everyone—guards, inmates, even family members—giving us a real feel for life on the island. And that quick ferry ride? Got us all excited for what was coming next!

Before Alcatraz, we got a taste of Napa Valley's amazing wines. Artesa Winery was the bomb with its private tasting and killer views. And let me tell you, the wines were just amazing. We swung by downtown Sonoma too, hitting up Della Santina's for some top-notch Italian grub. Seriously, it was out of this world!

The chill vibe in the Valley made us want more, so we jumped into another wine tour with the same crew. And guess what? It was just as awesome, all thanks to our guide being a total expert.

I totally recommend both the mind-blowing Alcatraz tour and the chill Napa Valley wine tasting. It's like mixing history and relaxation in one trip—perfect for any explorer. And those souvenirs at Alcatraz? A real jackpot! From crazy prisoner stories to island rocks, there's something cool for everyone who loves collecting memories.

Riding Waves on Horseback and Unveiling Alcatraz: A Day to Remember

Embarking on a day trip that artfully blended the thrill of beachside horseback riding with the enigmatic history of Alcatraz was an experience that left us spellbound. My fascination with Alcatraz stemmed from watching 'The Rock' during my younger days, and finally stepping onto the island was a dream come true. The guided tour, aided by interpretative devices, offered an insightful journey through the prison's varied sections. The cruise to the island was not just comfortable but added a touch of joy to the whole adventure.

However, the cherry on top was the horseback ride along the stunning coastal trail in Half-Moon Bay. Trotting along the beach, though partly draped in fog and breezes, was an absolute joy. Pro tip: layer up for the weather shifts and opt for riding gear that ensures comfort and safety, especially considering the trail's twists and turns. Providing your weight helps them pair you with the perfect horse, so don't skip out on that detail. Despite the coastal mist, the ride was an enchanting escapade well worth savoring.

Before our Alcatraz journey, we indulged in a delightful beachside meal at a Half Moon Bay restaurant, offering a serene pause from the city hustle. This combo of beachside bliss and the historic allure of Alcatraz is an absolute must. Trust me, it's a one-of-a-kind experience that lingers long after the day ends. Warmest regards,

"Sweet Jelly Beans & Island Scenes: San Fran's Double Trouble Tour!"

My daughter and I decided to mix things up and try out the Jelly Belly Beans Factory tour along with a trip to Alcatraz prison. We had no clue what we were in for, but man, it turned out to be a blast! It was a cool break from the usual hustle of San Francisco.

First stop was the Jelly Belly Beans Factory out in Fairfield, about an hour drive from the city. Picture this: walking into a candy wonderland with jars filled to the brim with jellybeans of all colors and flavors. The tour started with a neat video explaining how these little treats are made—it was like magic! Then came the behind-the-scenes tour where we got to see the whole bean-making process, from start to finish. And the best part? Taste-testing all those crazy flavors! Seriously, it’s a fun ride for both kids and adults.

Once we were all hyped up on sugar, we cruised back to San Francisco for the Alcatraz Island adventure. The ride there was already a winner, giving us killer views of the city and that iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Stepping onto the island felt like going back in time. The audio tour was like a goldmine of stories, showing us what life was like for the prisoners and guards back in the day. Exploring the cells where big shots like Al Capone hung out was seriously gripping.

This combo tour was wild! Going from the colorful jellybean paradise to the intense history of Alcatraz was a total rollercoaster of experiences. Trust me, if you’re checking out the Bay Area, this tour is a must-do.

"Unwinding in Sonoma's Vines & Unlocking Alcatraz's Mysteries"

Our day started off with a sweet trip through Sonoma Valley and then a dive into Alcatraz Island. Our guide, Adam—what a guy! He made us feel like old pals in his hometown. We kicked things off early from San Francisco, rolling out in a fancy private SUV. Adam set the scene for what turned out to be an awesome day.

Sonoma Valley was the first stop—a winery tucked among those rolling hills. Exploring the place was a blast. We got into the whole winemaking history, tasted different wines with these killer vineyard views. The staff there? Top-notch. Their warmth and know-how made the wine-tasting super memorable.

After that grape adventure, we zipped back to San Francisco for this cool ferry ride to Alcatraz Island. And man, that infamous prison didn't disappoint. We strolled through the cells, did the whole audio tour thing—it was like stepping back in time. The views of San Francisco Bay? Unreal. We snapped some seriously frame-worthy pics.

The tour company nailed the day, and Adam's stories? Spot on. Sonoma Valley's wine scene was a highlight, and Alcatraz's history? Left a serious mark. This day trip? It's a must-do for anyone wanting the best of San Francisco!

Sonoma Valley—A Sojourn in Wine Country Paradise!

Sonoma Valley—talk about a hidden gem! Nestled amidst the rolling hills of wine country, Sonoma is a laid-back haven that's etched in my heart. Returning with my beau this time, we discovered a whole new layer to this quaint town.

Wine tasting aside, Sonoma's chill vibe and its historic old town are a treat for the senses. Even non-wine enthusiasts will fall for the charm of this captivating countryside.

For the foodies and shopaholics, Sonoma Plaza is a treasure trove! Our guide, Patricia, sprinkled the day with a personal touch that made every sip and stroll feel like an intimate adventure. The wineries she curated were splendid, offering not just wines but an elegant experience in a glass. Patricia, thank you for painting our day with such beautiful memories!

Stepping into the majesty of Muir Woods' towering redwoods was like wandering through a fairy tale. We lucked out arriving early; it felt like we had the entire woodland wonderland to ourselves! Small yet serene, the park was a peaceful haven, and those colossal redwoods? Absolutely awe-inspiring.

Come afternoon, we swapped the tranquil woods for the sun-drenched beauty of California's wine country. A stark contrast, with temperatures soaring to a toasty 82 degrees Fahrenheit (a solid 24 degrees warmer than our Muir Woods morning). Our hearts were won over at Viansa Winery, perched on a hilltop with Tuscan-inspired vibes and jaw-dropping vineyard views. The wine tasting? Pure bliss.

Now, if organic, farm-to-table goodness tickles your taste buds, let me rave about El Dorado Kitchen at Sonoma Plaza. Their food? Utterly delicious, a culinary delight you'd be remiss to miss!"

Fun Napa Valley wine tour with Mary—it was beyond awesome!

Mary, our guide, was a total riot, mixing humor with a deep love for wine country. She made each winery stop a whole story, sharing juicy bits about the history and the art of winemaking. And oh boy, the wines! Pure deliciousness in every sip.

Napa Valley's scenery is like traveling through southern Europe, with rolling hills and castle wineries. The tour itself? Smooth as the wines we tasted! Perfectly paced, giving us ample time at each winery to drink in the ambiance and, well, the wine too. This trip truly bottled up the enchantment and allure of Napa Valley. If you're after a one-of-a-kind experience among the world-renowned wineries, this tour is an absolute must.

A Fun Safari and Jelly Belly Factory Day Trip

Yesterday our family jumped into a Jeep at Safari West Animal Park, and let me tell you, it was an adventure we won't soon forget. Our guide was fun and new how to make kids happy chatting about animals like they were his best pals. Cruising through the park, we felt like explorers! Zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests were just a few feet away, doing their thing in the most natural way. It was like a front-row seat to wildlife's daily show—a truly thrilling spectacle. Hills stretching as far as your eyes could see—utterly stunning.

But hold onto your hats, the adventure didn't stop there! From the wild to the whimsical, we zipped over to the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, driving through California & Napa Valley. The kids were all smiles the minute we arrived. Our guide was as sweet as the candy, leading us through a colorful world of jellybean-making magic. And let me tell you, the scavenger hunt was a hoot! We even dived into the museum, playing games like it was a carnival. Our day? Unforgettable! Nature, wildlife, and candy—could it get any better? It was the perfect blend of education and pure fun. Trust me, if you're up for an adventure, this trip is a must!

Sonoma Valley Wine Country and Alcatraz—An Incredible Experience!

Imagine a day that weaved intrigue, history, and the captivating essence of Sonoma Valley's wine country with the iconic Alcatraz. It wasn't just a trip; it was an amazing adventure. Our journey kicked off at Alcatraz, steeped in gripping tales from the past. The island's history unfolded vividly through the audio tour, like a personal guide unveiling the secrets of its inmates and the prison's mysteries. Exploring the cell blocks felt like a thrilling step back in time, adding an extra edge to our day.

And the view? Breathtaking doesn't even begin to describe it. From the island, San Francisco's skyline and majestic bridges emerged like a masterpiece. It's no wonder the island attracts over 1.5 million curious souls yearly, though the weather was a bit cooler than expected.

On the flip side, Sonoma Valley greeted us with warmth—a landscape of serene vineyards, charming old towns, and welcoming vistas. Viansa Winery became our haven, not just for its fantastic wines but also for the stunning views that spoke tales of beauty.

Refueling at Aabha Indian Cuisine was a treat. As a vegan, discovering an array of delectable vegetarian options was a true delight for the taste buds.

Summing it up? Unforgettable. It's an enticing blend of culture, history, and nature. This day trip is a must for anyone seeking a swift escape from the city—Sonoma Valley wine country and Alcatraz create an unforgettable blend. If you're planning a jaunt through Northern California, these spots are non-negotiable on your bucket list!

Sunrise of Hot Air Balloons and Redwood Adventure

Wake up with the sun and dive into a dreamy escape! Imagine soaring high above Napa Valley in a hot air balloon, painting the skies with the stunning beauty of endless vineyards and rolling hills. Our balloon ride was more than picturesque—it was a heart-thumping adventure narrated by our wine-savvy pilot, weaving tales of the valley's winemaking history and pointing out hot spots.

As the balloon gently descended, our souls craved serenity, leading us to the enchanting Muir Woods Park. Ancient redwoods stood tall, casting a calming spell that engulfed our spirits. We hiked, wandered, and lost ourselves in the breathtaking embrace of these coastal giants. The juxtaposition of high-flying thrills and the tranquil sanctuary of Muir Woods? It stirred something deep within us—a beautiful harmony of excitement and serenity.

This combo tour was amazing .The exhilarating hot air balloon ride paired with the tranquil beauty of Muir Woods is an experience that etches itself into your heart forever.

A Fun Safari and Jelly Belly Factory Day Trip

Yesterday was a wild ride! My folks and I hopped onto a Jeep tour at Safari West Animal Park in Sonoma County, and let me tell you, it was a real blast. Our guide, Patricia bursting with friendliness, was the MVP, especially for the kids, tossing out these amazing animal insights that had us all hooked.

Cruising through the park in our open-air Jeep felt like we were in our very own wildlife documentary. Zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests strolled freely around us, giving us a front-row seat to their daily grind. The thrill of being up close and personal with these majestic creatures in their natural digs? Unforgettable!

Our guide wasn't just a chatterbox; they were a walking encyclopedia about animal behavior and lifestyle. And oh, the park's scenery? Cue jaw drops! Rolling hills and sprawling vistas painted a picture-perfect setting. This Jeep tour was like a backstage pass to nature's greatest show – a chance to soak up the wild and learn the ABCs of animal antics. If you're after an adventure that screams 'wow,' this tour is your golden ticket!

But wait, the day didn't stop there! Our guide revved up the fun-o-meter and zoomed us to Fairfield, near Napa Valley, for the Jelly Belly Factory visit. Kid heaven, let me tell you! A total wizard, sharing the secrets of the world's best jellybeans.

From a cool factory tour, where we peeked at the rainbow-making process, to a scavenger hunt that had us on our toes, it was a sweet overload! And let's not forget the museum – interactive games for all ages, a real crowd-pleaser.

Bottom line? It was a day filled with thrills, laughs, and fun memories. This tour? A total must for families craving adventure and a touch of sweetness!

Absolutely Delightful Experience at the Jelly Belly Factory & Alcatraz

I didn’t even know there was a Jelly Belly Factory in the San Francisco Bay Area until I saw it on the Alcatraz Tours website. As a fan of these jellies and sweet treats, I had to book it. The drive through Oakland Bay Bridge was enjoyable, and our guide, Leo, was a total pro, blending knowledge with boundless excitement.

The journey to Jelly Belly Factory took us just about an hour. The film we watched there was informative but short. However, the tour inside the factory was my favorite part. They spilled all the jellybean secrets about their history and the creation process of these colorful wonders. From the hot ovens to those quirky flavors, we got a front-row seat to the entire jelly-making extravaganza. And tasting those unique flavors? An absolute treat!

Imagine a factory bursting with colors, creativity oozing from every corner, and displays that practically beg you to snap a pic! It felt like diving into a candy-colored wonderland. Honestly, it was a joyous and light-hearted escape, capturing the essence of this iconic candy brand. If you're looking for a whimsical and downright fun time in Fairfield, this tour is an absolute must!

Of course, our favorite part was the tour to Alcatraz, where we ended up spending more time than intended. The audio tour at Alcatraz is an immersive and captivating experience. It allowed us to explore the prison at our own pace while listening to a narrated tour. Featuring firsthand accounts from former inmates and guards, it provided insights into the history, daily life, and events on the island. The narration, coupled with sound effects and ambient noises, created a chilling and realistic atmosphere, making us feel as though we'd stepped back in time to when Alcatraz was an active prison. Overall, it's considered an informative and engaging way to learn about the island's history and the notorious Alcatraz prison. I highly recommend this combo tour - definitely 5 stars!

Monterey And Carmel, Charming Seaside Gems

A great adventure with this company - three excursions without a hitch! Our main request: a French-speaking guide. Enter Buddy, our outstanding American guide, fluent in French and brimming with knowledge. Our visits? Pure pleasure!

Firstly, we explored Monterey and Big Sur with a delightful stop in Carmel for lunch. It was truly worth it, but be prepared for picturesque coastal roads with twists, turns, and breathtaking landscapes!

Then, what can I say about Alcatraz? We visited Alcatraz the next day, still with Buddy. Starting from Union Square, we discovered San Francisco's iconic places, ticking off everything on our list and then some.

Many would like to return to Alcatraz, but personally, I found it a bit morbid and mysterious, so it's unlikely I'll go back.

Overall, it was a solid 5-star service: a fantastic travel company with excellent bilingual guides, true professionals, not just drivers. It was worth every penny spent.

In French: « Une belle aventure avec cette compagnie - trois excursions sans le moindre souci ! Notre demande principale : un guide francophone. Et voilà Buddy, notre guide américain hors pair, parlant couramment le français et débordant de connaissances. Nos visites ? Un pur plaisir !

En premier lieu, nous avons exploré Monterey et Big Sur avec un arrêt délicieux à Carmel pour déjeuner. Ça valait vraiment le coup, mais attendez-vous à des routes côtières pittoresques avec des virages, des détours et des paysages à couper le souffle !

Puis, que dire d'Alcatraz ? Nous avons visité Alcatraz le lendemain, toujours avec Buddy. En partant de l'Union Square, nous avons découvert les lieux emblématiques de San Francisco, cochant tout ce qui figurait sur notre liste et même plus.

Beaucoup aimeraient retourner a Alcatraz , mais pour ma part, j'ai trouvé cela un peu morbide et mystérieux, donc peu probable d'y retourner.

Globalement, c'était un service solide 5 étoiles : une compagnie de voyage fantastique avec d'excellents guides bilingues, de véritables professionnels et non de simples chauffeurs. Ça valait bien l'argent dépensé »

Excelente paquete de viaje familiar privado de 5 días a Lake Tahoe y Yosemite

Emprendimos un excelente viaje privado de 5 días a Lake Tahoe y Yosemite, una familia de cinco personas proveniente de Bogotá, Colombia. Comenzamos y finalizamos nuestro viaje en Solage, en el Valle de Napa. Luis, un guía amable de Argentina que habla español y trabaja en San Francisco, nos acompañó. Hizo que nuestro viaje fuera súper divertido, adaptándose perfectamente a nuestras necesidades.

Nuestra estancia en Lake Tahoe fue espléndida, con dos suites espaciosas con vistas al sur de Lake Tahoe desde un piso alto. El hotel ofrecía una gran cantidad de actividades para niños y, al mismo tiempo, una animada vida nocturna y espectáculos para adultos, ¡fue un éxito total para nuestra familia!

Lake Tahoe en verano es una maravilla de actividades al aire libre. Desde las impresionantes vistas de Emerald Bay hasta las acogedoras playas de Sand Harbor, la aventura nos esperaba en cada rincón. Recorrimos senderos escénicos, navegamos por aguas cristalinas y disfrutamos de la gastronomía a orillas del lago. Conciertos, festivales y aventuras entre los árboles añadieron emoción al descubrir la belleza natural.

La travesía continuó hacia Yosemite por los caminos de Carson Valley. Disfrutamos de la tranquilidad de las singulares torres de tufa en Mono Lake, un paraíso para observadores de aves y fotógrafos. Cerca, Bodie Ghost Town nos ofreció un vistazo a la era de la fiebre del oro, congelada en el tiempo. El recorrido por Tioga Pass fue un punto destacado, con paradas en Tuolumne Meadows y una encantadora caminata hasta May Lake.

Nuestra estancia en Yosemite Valley, en Yosemite Lodge by the Falls, fue fantástica, aunque las habitaciones eran un poco más pequeñas de lo esperado. Sin embargo, la ubicación fue ideal, y asegurar estas habitaciones con un año de anticipación resultó ser una suerte. El verano en el Parque Nacional de Yosemite nos reveló un paraíso de maravillas naturales. Explorar puntos icónicos como Half Dome y Yosemite Falls, recorrer el Mist Trail y disfrutar de actividades como caminar, hacer senderismo, conducir, nadar y remar en kayak, todo esto fue una combinación inolvidable de aventuras y vistas impresionantes.

Esta compañía turística realmente sobresalió, superando nuestras expectativas desde la consulta inicial, el proceso de reserva y durante todo el recorrido. ¡No podemos expresar lo suficiente lo extraordinaria que fue esta experiencia!

In English: We embarked on an excellent 5-day private tour package to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, a family of five from Bogota, Colombia. Starting and ending our trip at Solage in Napa Valley, Luis, a friendly guide from Argentina fluent in Spanish and working in San Francisco, accompanied us. He made our journey incredibly fun, catering perfectly to our needs.

Our stay at Lake Tahoe was splendid, with two spacious suites overlooking the South Lake Tahoe shores from a high floor. The hotel offered a wealth of kids' activities while providing vibrant nightlife and shows for adults—an absolute hit with our family.

Lake Tahoe in summer is a canvas of outdoor delights. From the breathtaking vistas of Emerald Bay to the inviting beaches of Sand Harbor, adventure awaited at every turn. We trekked scenic trails, cruised sparkling waters, and indulged in lakeside dining. Concerts, festivals, and treetop adventures added to the thrill of exploring nature's beauty.

The journey continued to Yosemite through the backroads of Carson Valley. We savored the tranquility of Mono Lake's unique tufa towers—a haven for birdwatchers and photographers. Nearby, Bodie Ghost Town offered a glimpse into the Gold Rush era, frozen in time. The drive through Tioga Pass was a highlight, with stops at Tuolumne Meadows and a lovely hike to May Lake.

Our stay in Yosemite Valley at Yosemite Lodge by the Falls was fantastic, although the rooms were slightly smaller than anticipated. Nonetheless, the location was ideal, and securing these rooms a year in advance proved fortunate.

Summer in Yosemite National Park revealed a paradise of natural wonders. Exploring iconic landmarks like Half Dome and Yosemite Falls, hiking the Mist Trail, and enjoying activities like walking, hiking, driving, swimming, and kayaking—it was an unforgettable blend of adventure and awe-inspiring views.

This tour company truly rocked, surpassing our expectations from the initial inquiry, booking process, to the tour itself. We can't speak highly enough of this extraordinary experience!.

Our custom day tour from San Francisco to Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and the 17-Mile Drive was an adventure was fun and awesome. Our guide, Jon, whisked us away from our San Fran hotel near the ferry building , and down to the coast— steering us along the dazzling Pacific Highway Route 1. The views? Simply breathtaking! Waves crashing against the shore, the vast Pacific stretching like an endless canvas—it was sheer beauty.

Our journey kicked off in Santa Cruz, a pit stop before hitting Monterey. The Monterey Bay Aquarium was our first thrill for the kids—the colorful sea creatures had us mesmerized. Strolling along Cannery Row, we caught sea lions and harbor seals sunbathing, soaking in the California rays.

Next up, Carmel-by-the-Sea—a town that oozes charm! The streets were a fusion of art, quaint shops, and delicious aromas wafting from local eateries. We couldn’t resist a taste of the town's culinary delights. But hold onto your hats, because the real showstopper was the legendary 17-Mile Drive! This scenic road took us through Pebble Beach, weaving past iconic golf courses and jaw-dropping vistas. The stops at those picture-perfect viewpoints?

Our guide, a walking history book, kept us captivated with tales of the area's past and present. What made it even better? The tour was tailor-made just for us, catering to our interests like a dream.

To sum it up, this custom tour was a blend of beauty, history, and personalized adventure. If you're eyeing the area, trust me, this experience is an absolute must!

"Una Noche Inolvidable en Alcatraz: Historias, Aventuras y Risas"

¡Permíteme describir nuestra increíble experiencia en el tour nocturno de Alcatraz con mi esposo! ¡Fue una emoción absoluta! La estrella del espectáculo fue, sin duda, el tour de audio de Alcatraz. Este recorrido no fue simplemente caminar; nos entregaron estos geniales dispositivos de audio justo en la entrada de la prisión, lo que nos sumergió por completo en toda la experiencia. Recorrimos las celdas, escuchando las historias y la historia; fue estremecedor y fascinante al mismo tiempo. Estábamos tan aliviados de haber decidido reservar este tour con anticipación. Hizo que nuestro día fuera mucho más tranquilo y, con Alcatraz siendo tan popular, nos evitó el estrés de la incertidumbre. Lo que añadió una nueva capa de disfrute a nuestro viaje fue nuestro guía turístico. ¡No era solo un guía, sino un paquete completo de entretenimiento! Desde llevarnos a Muir Woods y Sausalito hasta compartir historias peculiares y hechos poco conocidos, hicieron que el viaje fuera divertido y se ocuparon de todos nosotros como profesionales. Su entusiasmo era contagioso, y hizo que todo el día fuera aún más memorable. En resumen, el tour de Alcatraz junto con el encanto de nuestro guía lo convirtieron en un día para recordar: una mezcla de historia, aventura y algunas risas inesperadas. Nos fuimos sintiendo que realmente habíamos experimentado algo especial.
