This review is for VIATOR TOURS. We experienced poor communication with the tour service. The details provided were unclear, we missed both tours we scheduled. Despite showing up at the meeting point on time, we waited for half an hour past the arranged time. Eventually, we decided to visit Pier 39 and purchased tickets there for a boat tour. Regrettably, our experience with the tour service was disappointing, and we feel we should have saved our money by skipping it altogether. My husband ordered the tickets and received the correspondence with the meeting arrangements. This was our first time visiting San Francisco, and we were eagerly looking forward to both the Alcatraz tour and the boat tour. However, it's important to note that the boat tour does not stop at Alcatraz but only goes near it. We now plan to return to San Francisco in a couple of months to visit the island, but we will not be using this tour service again. Unfortunately, despite our dissatisfaction with the service, we did NOT receive a refund, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for us.

it was interesting relieving the movie and thinking how hard it was for the inmates. At least the inmates enjoyed the food.

It was my first time in San Francisco and all I wanted to do was get to know the city and Alcatraz! When I booked this tour and did not know that I was gonna get to know so much parts of the city that are so important to the american history. The best part of the tour was obviously Alcatraz with the audio tour of all the people that passed thru there. Something that is important to know is that the line to get to the boat was huge! and a lot of visitors did not get to do it because there were no tickets left, so I’m glad that I booked the trip with this company a couple of days before arriving. If you are new like me and want to get to know the city in one day, I highly recommend booking the tour and enjoy the ride, I promise you that the tour is going to be memorable and you will get another view that doing it on your own does not give you.

The driver and guide were pretty good. The stops were adequate. We did the citty tour/Alcatraz combo. We parked our car near Union Square, which was the meeting point of the tour. The Alcatraz part was in the afternoon. We expected to be brought back to the origin of the tour to get our car after Alcatraz and instead were left on our own to taxi back to get our car. Not a deal breaker but a bit annoying. At least we could've gotten a taxi voucher.

Excellent experience! Thorough, comprehensive, and friendly. Takes you to some places that you would expect as well as some off of the beaten path. Plenty of stops for bathroom and drink breaks. Beautiful views. Highly recommended!!!

I was expecting to visit Alcatraz since I was a child and it was better than I thought. The audioguide on the island makes the visit super interesting. The city tour was ok, and the tour guide was friendly and informative.

It is an unforgettable tour. Alcatraz is a highlight, and there is no better way to visit than this tour. The city tour gave us a great view of the city. It was windy so don´t forget to bring a coat.

First off our guide was late getting to the bus. The description of the tour states that there will be a professional tour guide along for the trip. Professional! Not hardly! We were bored out of our minds! We were given 15 minutes at each stop. It took 15 minutes to get off the bus or stand in line for the restroom. We felt like we were being treated like elementary school students on a field trip. If you wanted to take pictures you better take them quick because you went by so quick you didn't have time to take a snap shot of any of the things that were worth taking a picture of. I'd recommend taking the hop on hop off bus tour. You get to do that at your on pace. As for the Alcatraz tour, it was great! We got to do that on our on!
