The trip was very good easy to pick up tickets and get boat to alcatraz. Easy to get around up hill though but was a buggy that viild take you up. The city tour was very good and informative but was in mini bus not open top bus. It did take us to lots places probably bus wouldn't. Driver was very good, funny and informative. Well worth the money.

Family thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the City and our tour guide, Brendan. We learned many interesting facts about San Francisco, it's history, and great spots to dine and visit. Highly recommend SF Excursions.

Brendan was very kind, prepared and fun. We were driven around, visited and stopped at landmarks for photos. He provided snacks and drinks. We loved the smaller group, too! Very nice way to see SF sights!
