We stayed in SF last weeks, and both rides were outstanding. I high recommend them. The scenic journal was so funny along wind included.

We really enjoyed Alcatraz, we put the headset on and it really was great to learn about the prison. I really think offering everyone a headset to listen to the tour guide on the cruise would be far better. Most of us couldn't hear what was being said. If not a head set, then give the man up top a microphone. There was a lot of information we didn't hear. The cruise was great though. It helped as it was a beautiful day. Staff were lovely.

Tammie_S

It was nice that they offered a self guided tour. Lots of flowers on the grounds. Makes you realize that you never want to end up in jail!

Janet_F

I really enjoyed the Alcatraz cell audio tour. It was informative, educational, and entertaining. The cruise to the Golden Gate Bridge was relaxing with beautiful views and an educational narrative. I would recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the San Francisco area.

Stella_H

Had an amazing visit to alcatraz. Smooth trip. Very informative. This was on my bucket list, am so made up I did it. Would highly recommend. The cruise to see the golden gate bridge was faultless. It was on time, informative and went smoothly. Again highly recommend this tour. We'll worth the money

Our trip to Alcatraz was very interesting & informative. We especially liked the fact that we could stop our “tour guide” when he was getting ahead of us when we were not able to move on due to congestion in the area. Once we could approach the area under discussion, by simply pushing “start” on our radio, we could continue our tour.

Alcatraz and the boat tour were both great. What wasn’t great was with Alcatraz you can use a QR code from your phone. With the boat tour you have to print out a form from an email then take it to a booth to redeem. I didn’t realize they were really two separate tours. It was inconvenient so just beware.

The trip to Alcatraz island was the highlight of our stay in San Francisco. It's a short ferry ride from Pier 33, and as it's a designated national park, we were met by Ranger Nick who took us on an entertaining and informative tour to the cell house at the top. The going is steep, but for those who need it, there is a shuttle. At the cell house there is an audio tour which gives an immersive insight into the history and life on the island. On the way down there is an exhibition about the Native American occupation of the island in the early 70's, which is as fascinating as the island's earlier history. In all, we spent about 2 1/2 hours on the island, including the wait for the half-hourly ferry back to Pier 33. The Golden Gate Bridge Bay cruise leaves from Pier 39, a 10 minute walk from Pier 33. It lasted about an hour and took us under the Golden Gate bridge and gave us a close-up view of the other side of Alcatraz island along with other spectacular views of the bay. It's important to note that the time slot and ticket for Alcatraz is not issued until 2-3 days beforehand, and you are issued with a voucher only for the Golden Gate Cruise. This is because you need to book a time slot in person for the Golden Gate Cruise that does not clash with the Alcatraz portion, and exchange the printed voucher for a ticket. Our hotel was happy to print the Alcatraz ticket and Golden Gate voucher for us. Our Alcatraz timeslot was 10.10am, so we booked our Golden Gate cruise for 4.30pm, which allowed us plenty of time to have a leisurely lunch, explore Pier 39 and see the famous sea lions before getting on board the second boat. This is an excellent combination of tours which contributed to a memorable stay in San Francisco.

The instructions were all conflicting. And my QR code was not sent to me until I was already on the tour. Ridiculous. I will not use Viator again. I used Viator in Thailand and everything was smooth!! Yesterday’s experience was ridiculous!
