Golden Gate boat tour unaccessible, otherwise good

4.00Ferry ride was good, Alcatraz was good. Audio tour was a bit hard to follow the location prompts but still very usable. Gave this 4 stars because we were unable to do the Golden Gate Bridge boat tour because it was mandatory to have paper tickets (cell phone tickets not allowed) and we had no way to print them. Viator did not tell us this technicality before booking, only became known once they sent the tickets to us the day before the tour. I felt it was a bit deceitful
Never book through Trip Advisor!

1.00Never book with Trip advisor or Viator!!! I was cancelled the day before the tour. Forced to rebook at higher price which was then rescheduled last minute. Then I was told it was my fault. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. 0 stars!
A must take tour for anyone. Family, friends, single, or as a group. The price is reasonable as well.

1.00The way Viator advertised this tour made it seem it was group tour together and back to back but no once we got to Alcatraz tour entrance at 8am they explained Viator picked a ferry time for us at 11am so we had to wait 3 hours to go on Alcatraz Ferry. We could not go on earlier ferry they were sold out that day. Then we had to pick another time for Bay tour that would not conflict with Alcatraz .Mind you they just open booth for Bay Cruise at 11am. I think it’s better to book ahead with Alcatraz and Bay Cruise companies directly according to your schedule.
Very happy travelers with...
