5.00Our trip to Alcatraz was awesome. Perfect time of year to go. Weather was great, the island was not too crowded. This tour was very easy to follow, and didn’t we didn’t have any issues dealing with the details or rules of the cruise.
Good choice to have.

5.00It’s a great combo experience to see Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Having tickets that appeared to be flexible on the day was really helpful.

1.00Purchased the Alcatraz and San Francisco Bay cruise but was only taken to the Alcatraz tour! I was informed to go to the ticket office and they were unable to help get any type of refund due to “final sale”. I paid over $800 for this experience and was scammed out of the bay cruise. I am extremely frustrated about this experience and would recommend purchasing tickets in person at the booth to know exactly what you are purchasing/receiving.
The tour was informative....

4.00The tour was informative. It was a hilly walk to get to top for the tour. The smell at the top was interesting. The lady giving the information at the island was great. The ticket taker… not so much. Very rude and impatient.
