Our tour is designed to be an easy package to experience two of the most popular attractions in one day. Relax as we pass along San Francisco’s breathtaking waterfront, passing under the Golden Gate and around Alcatraz! Learn the history of San Francisco Bay with open-air viewpoints and observe local marine life such as sea lions and more. Audio narration is provided.

The whole experience was amazing. Super easy to get to the boat but you do need to make sure you have printed out your ticket as they don't accept showing it on your phone. The tour itself on the island was sooooo interesting and thought provoking. The staff working there are super friendly too. I would recommend this to anyone. I would also go again if I ever go back to SF.

Alcatraz was excellent, I have been wanting to visit for a very long time and I was so happy to finally get there. Going under the Golden Gate Bridge was a great way to see it.

We loved this whole experience. This is a great package. I would say the only hiccup would be that you are not given a boarding time for the Alcatraz and they are very strict. The boat for the bridge tour are a lot more flexible and kind. Overall, be flexible and have a great time.

The Alcatraz experience was great. Getting to explore the island and the ruins of this historical landmark was very interesting. I enjoyed the audio tour and the National Park staff was great.

The boat there and back to Alcatraz was well kept and the crew was friendly. However, I did not personally pick this tour experience, my friend did. I wasn’t super crazy about it. We were told our time was 9:20 AM, wish we could’ve picked our own time. Then was told we had to print some piece of paper? Didn’t even use it… no idea what it was for. I guess it was for some other boat ride but I didn’t have plans to get on a boat twice in one day, virtually doing the same thing. I guess I shouldn’t have trusted my friend to choose the tour.

I’m reading some of the tour responses to bad reviews, I am seeing a sense of attitude so that’s pretty off putting as well. Had I known better I would’ve simply booked a tour that only took me to Alcatraz and saved a few bucks.

It’s a fine tour, but I can’t comment on the second boat tour thing since I didn’t do it. Alcatraz was cool and that’s for certain.

Alcatraz was amazing to see the inside of a high security prison, and learned history of some prisoners.

Alcatraz was pretty cool. The audio tour definitely made it more interesting. It was very cold on the boat ride over and windy on the island. Bring a jacket or sweater for sure! Be advised…you have to walk up a very long incline to get up to the prison. Worth the trip.
The company emails you the time that you go. That did not work for us due to flight arrival. We called and they switched our time easily.

The bay cruise was completely separate. It offered really cool views of the bridge. It was freezing and rough. Inside the boat was warm and you could hear the history tour playing through the speakers.

Exceeded what we thought. Excellent customer service easy booking and checking in . We also had a time of booking but managed to get in early . If you have trouble walking or disabled there is excellent facilities on the boat and also on Alcatraz . Family of four we had the best day yet of our tour of California

I was attempting to book a same day Alcatraz tour. The lady at the ticket window told me that nothing was available for the next week. I went to Viator and booked it. I didn’t get the tickets right away and I was feeling like I maybe got scammed. I called the customer service number but the signal was terrible and it kept cutting out and the guy finally hung up. He then texted me and said that if he couldn’t get me taken care of, he’d get me a refund right away. He went above and beyond expectations to get us tickets from someone else who had had to cancel. It was awesome, I was very pleasantly surprised. He checked back twice more to make sure that everything had gone smoothly. I could not have been happier
