4.00The tour is well organized, thanks to the audio guide and the proposed route. Finding the boat was very easy and the ride was nice but there were too many flies on this boat
Alcatraz sans l’offre Mona Lisa !

4.00Visiting Alcatraz is a very interesting excursion, but it often sells out during holiday seasons, so booking in advance is highly recommended. But the offer for the Mona Lisa restaurant is a scam in every respect: it’s not the customer who gets to choose a free appetizer — the restaurant decides to hand out the same miserable dish to everyone. The owner is pushy, the waiter condescending and unpleasant; so we decided to cut it short, pay only for the drinks already served, and leave for something far better.

4.00We booked this tour as it was one of the only options available last minute (day before), which is the only reason that the high price is justifiable, otherwise you are better off booking through Alcatraz directly. We also used a discount from a previous tour which was fab and made it cheaper than any other option. Communication from Viator was great, prompt and easy to understand.
