It was great! Friendly professional staff, well guided tour of the Bay, great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the City skyline. Also saw some porpoises and sea lions in the water. Started and ended on time. Great value for the cost, which is low.

Great way to get some stunning views of the city/Golden Gate Bridge/Alcatraz and learn a bit about it all. Highly recommend especially if you only have a short time in the city and can’t see everything you want. We definitely felt this was the best way to view the Golden Gate Bridge
