Overall an awesome experience! The weather wasn't the best, but the staff were super friendly, and the views were stunning! I definitely recommend this place for you to go solo, with a partner or your kids!

I had a hard time hearing the orator, but the crew was great, very informative and courteous. I am disabled. They help me board and unload safely.

The narration was informative, although sometimes difficult to hear because of the noise, we enjoyed the ride, the one hour length was just right, the weather was gorgeous, and the ride was smooth. Would recommend. I thought the price per person was fair.

Couldn't hear any of the tour. The speakers were too quiet and the many other guests were too loud. I wish there was a phone and headphone option. Cool to go under the golden gate bridge
