    We booked through Groupon and loved this tour. We liked the ability to walk around, take pictures, and get back on moving to the next stop. We felt there was plenty of time at each stop while also not dragging along. The Muir Woods portion was our favorite part and that's really a must-do. The Groupon price was perfect and we got to go to all the places a first-time visitor would want to see (particularly Fort Point, Twin Peaks, driving over the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street and Muir Woods). The only thing holding back from a 5-Star review is our driver Steve (the owner). He was very nice, fun and knowledgeable but would often go off-topic about hippies, the 60's and his early-life experiences which were a slight distraction from San Francisco's history, details about what we were passing as we drove by, etc... Overall, an awesome tour and I'm recommending it to everyone I know planning a SF trip!

    The confirmation and the woman I spoke with told me and my party to arrive 15 minutes before the tour starts, so we did expecting someone to be there waiting for us already. Nope, no one. Called the number about it, told me that the driver will arrive at the scheduled time. That's was the biggest problem we encountered seeing as how my party had a physically disabled members that can't stand for long and the meeting spot didn't have any seating at all. Aside from that, our driver Barry was a very good tour guide. I highly recommend him, very informative!

    Barry, Our Tour Guide was quite knowledgeable, punctual, organized, friendly, and patient. A big plus is that we weren’t crammed in like a bunch of sardines as you’ll see with all the other tour company buses. The environment was actually quite comfortable with great speaker system, lots of space and A/C. Barry was fully prepared and equipped; he showed pictures of the areas we saw from back in the 18th and 19th centuries, had music that corresponded to the areas we were in and he even took pictures of us on our adventure. He took us to the best of the best places in San Francisco, including areas the other tour buses denied us the pleasure of seeing. Barry even made recommendations on what activities we could do thereafter. The restaurant he recommends— Scomi’s ItalianRestaurant on the pier was absolutely delicious and delightful with a lovely atmosphere. It was money well spent! I highly recommend booking your tour with Left Coast Tours tour for your own amazing San Francisco experience. I would definitely return for another tour. Thank you Barry & Left Coast Tours!

    Jeffery is wonderful for proving this amazing trip! Price is affordable and taking the bus can avoid heavy traffic in San Francisco. He is both acknowledgeable and fun!! My husband enjoyed a lot of facts Jeffery provided and I can relax my feet and enjoy the heat inside the bus. Highly recommend if this is your first trip to San Francisco. Get a good deal in Groupon!

    I took the City and Muir Woods tour on 6/27/17. I had Jeffery as a tour guide. Jeffery was an amazing tour guide. I've take a few tours of cities, and he was the best guide I've experienced. He was so knowledgeable about the city, he kept us on time so we got to see everything, he offered to take our pictures, and he had the perfect amount of humor. He also offered suggestions on where to eat and my husband swears he had the best burger of his life (along with some great happy hour drinks) at Farallon. Thank you again!

    Barry was our tour guide and we started out with a history of San Francisco which was quite unique. He is very knowledgeable and insightful as to how San Francisco looked and he also showed us pictures of the fire and the earthquake before we even started the tour. We had a more enjoyable tour because of his informative talk. He spent time at each stop and discussed what was relevant at each stop and even took our pictures . We look forward again to taking another tour with Barry ! Thank you Barry !

    We took the tour of San Francisco and Muir Woods on 3/22/17. The van was comfortable for the group of 12. Our guide Jeffrey was personable, friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgable. Our lunch stop was excellent. Never having been to the city before, I could navigate around myself after the tour with a good sense of all the different neighborhoods. I highly recommend Left a Coast Tours to first time visitors.

    We came from Maryland for a 3 day visit, then 9 more days up the coast ending in Portland. Jeffrey was our guide. Of the whole 12 day trip to the West Coast our entire family says with one voice that this tour (6 hour/Muir) was hands down the highlight. His knowledge, humor, flexibility, and timing was outstanding. We saw more of a packed world class city in this short time than we ever could have by ourselves. He knows his history, and shares his wealth of trivia about points of interest along the way. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat. On behalf of the Olson family, we love Left Coast and Jeffrey has an open invitation to sit at our family holidays gatherings.

    Honestly, I managed my expectations before this tour. But after the whole thing I was pleasantly surprised. We left right around 8 from in front of the cafe. The van was ok, but good enough for our small group. We had 5 people in our group that had never been to San Fran and this tour was the best way to see what San Fran had to offer. Barry, our tour guide was awesome. Muir Woods was beautiful as always (wish we could spend more time there.) Lunch was great. Didnt have time to make it to twin peaks but it was foggy anyway so we probably didnt miss much. Barry did take us to a few other places to make up for it though. Overall for the price we paid, the trip was above expectations and would totally recommend it.

👍👍 Overall this was a great way to experience Alcatraz. From the moment we got on the boat, to the moment we returned from the island, it was fun and educational. The tour boat itself that shuttles passengers to the island is solar powered, which is pleasant to know it’s operating with less of a carbon...

😠 Do not even consider taking this tour, its bad generally but holiday period don't imagine you can get a seat on a bus without first committing a large portion of your life and sanity to standing in a hot queue.
