I have to say I totally enjoyed this walking tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and fun. I learned a ton of cool things about Fisherman's Wharf. The ferry ride to Sausalito was neat. The guide provided all the information we needed to go off on our own and have a great time in Sausalito and Muir Woods.

What a wonderful way to spend the day.
My friend chose the tour so I didn’t know what to expect. We took a nice walk through parts of Fisherman’s Wharf and learned interesting facts from San Francisco’s history. We took a beautiful boat ride to Sausalito and learned a little more.
