Great day out
Had a great day out with Dylan on this tour . He was very Knowledgeable and we went round lots of streets and areas with plenty short stops for photos before we went to the woods . There was no stopping in Sausalito only a drive through before we headed back to go to Alcatraz. He was great at telling us when to be back and how long we had in each place.

Alcatraz
We were not given our tickets in advance, only a voucher for the Alcatraz boat. It did not tell you to arrive early. We missed our boat and waited in line to exchange tickets. They were very accommodating. The second half of the tour (bay cruise) was not very clear to us where to go and how to get the tickets. They were in messages in the Viator app

Everything went well as...
Everything went well as planned. The tour guide was very informative. The weather was nice too. Was able to get on an early tour to Alcatraz it was very interesting. Definitely worth the trip check off on my bucket list.

Fantastic tour of San Francisco area
Fantastic tour of San Francisco city. Our tour guide Randy was very knowledgeable and friendly. We feel that we’ve really seen the city and all the districts, learned the history and had a real San Francisco experience. The Alcatraz tour topped off the experience. We’ve had such an amazing day and highly recommended this trip.

Alcatraz prison facilities in San Francisco, USA
  • Tickets include round-trip ferry transportation and an audio tour; you can take any ferry back to the city and they depart roughly every 30 minutes.

  • Bring a camera and a coat for the chilly but beautiful ferry rides.

  • You'll find a few snacks offered on the ferry, and water available on the island.

  • Allow about 2.5 hours for the full prison experience, including both 15-minute ferry rides.

  • The walk from the ferry dock is steep and hilly; an electric shuttle departs from the dock twice an hour and the cellhouse has elevators.
