Was good to learn more...
Was good to learn more about North Beach and some of the history of San Francisco. Getting the ferry to and from Alcatraz was also really easy.

A “Must See” for all History Buffs!!
Alcatraz Prison is a world wide success in capturing the attention of the public. Trips are sold out year long to get a glimpse of a prison closed in the early 60’s. This glimpse of American history is a “must see” for all history buffs.

Nice way to learn about the city, and Alcatraz
This was a great trip. The walk through the City was great. Amanda had great stories about the history of San Francisco. It was a great way to learn about what the city was in the past and how it got to be what it is today. Alcatraz was awesome. Easy to get there and back. I enjoyed the audio tour. Being self-paced let me take my time through the Prison. I really enjoyed seeing and hearing the history with the Prison.

Educational with tons of whimsy!
This was a fantastic overview of the city and its history! We loved the educational, as well as entertaining, facts we learned! Muir Woods was as enchanting as we had hoped. Definitely add Alcatraz.

Very worthwhile tours in SF
The ferry ride to Alcatraz was as expected. A beautiful day made it very pleasant. Once there, we did the cell block audio tour, which should not be skipped, and walked the grounds. Lots of flowers and garden plantings, as well as fantastic views of San Fran, made for many photo ops. We also did the full big bus tour and learned about/saw a lot of the city we probably would have missed otherwise. Overall, A+.

Interesting Visit and Process
It was a little odd that we had to go to a different location to pick up a QR code ticket to then go to the pier. That process could be improved, but overall the visit to Alcatraz was great! Nice ferry ride and interesting education.

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.

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.

Wonderful tour and wonderful guide!
Jeffrey was a wonderful, witty tour guide! Loved all of the bits of wisdom he shared during the tour--super friendly and fun guy! Our family of 7 adults thoroughly enjoyed this tour--we got to see a lot of the interesting sights around San Francisco, had an extended time in Muir Woods where we got to go on a short hike, and we opted in to the Alcatraz Tour which was interesting as well. Highly recommend this tour!

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.
