A San Francisco Must
Booking online easy and ferry boarding easy. At Alcatraz there is quite a steep walk up to the tour start - then a free audio provided and tour to follow. Extremely interesting - as expected - and much enjoyed! Tip would be to have a clothing layer - the wind in the exercise yard is biting and we were there on an extremely hot day! Views stunning.

Absolute must for movie fans!
A must do if you're into films. We had a great time seeing all the different film locations. Bryan..our guide was brilliant! He showed us movie clips as we were travelling along and pointed out the various locations. Several stops for photo opportunities and rest stops. The tour lasts about 3 hours. There was only 5 of us on the minibus which was great. Bryan's knowledge of all the films and more was amazing! Totally recommend this trip...it was fab!

Historic, informative and great views
The Presidio area was not what I expected, which made the information given very interesting, especially if you like history. Julie was a great guide and well informed. It ended up being just my daughter and I so, it was like a private tour. We walked the whole area, which fyi, was a previous military fort. That was one of the parts I didn't know. We even learned about Carl the Fog. There are panoramic views of the bay, parks and the Golden Gate Bridge when the fog cooperates. It was a great afternoon.

Mac made the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommended! If for nothing else, great stories and a way to get to know this little part of the city's history. The old photos of the city and the ghost detectors really added to the experience and we got to use the dowsing rods to talk to a spirit! Mac is the real deal, no B.S. You will love this tour!

San Francisco Chinatown Walking Tour
201emilees, Sep 2026
What a fun morning!
I joined this tour after my original plans got cancelled, and it ended up being the best day of my trip! I particularly enjoyed getting to experience the Chinatown where people actually live and work, not just the Chinatown that is performed for tourists. Linda made a point of asking each of us if there was anything in particular we wanted to hear or learn about before we took off. We also had a group member who was born and rasied in China, so it was interesting to hear her perspective and input regarding the differences between Chinese Chinese culture and American Chinese culture. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to others visiting San Francisco!

A must do if you’re in San Francisco
What an amazing experience. If you are in San Francisco, I highly recommend this experience. You get the most incredible views of the bridge, fun and entertaining and knowledgeable guides and a really one off experience to drive down the highway in a 1950s fire truck. We were really lucky on the day with the weather and they take you to some amazing spots for great pictures. And we get to learn loads about San Francisco our guide Victoria was really knowledgeable and fun, and Jon was a great driver. We went to the family of four, with two teenage girls, and they loved the experience too nothing to moan about for a change!!

Absolutely book this tour. Best thing we did in San Francisco. It was a wonderful combination of adventure, scenery, storytelling, and personal connection. This is a very special boat and a very special experience! Highly recommend Captain Sal and his boat! Communications and meet-up were clear. Just note you do need to descend a ladder to get onto the boat!
