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.

I like how you toured...
I like how you toured Alcatraz at your own pace. The prison itself, with the audio guide was nice to experience.
Locating the correct dock at Pier 39 for the San Francisco Bay tour can be difficult. We used the hop on hop off bus the previous day to make sure we knew where to go. We enjoyed this part of the tour too.

This was Such a fun...
This was Such a fun experience and a must see if visiting San Francisco! The walkable terrain at Alcatraz is very hilly, so it might be hard to walk or push a chair for people with mobility issues. We had a great time

Sites of SF
Good tour with many sites that reflected SF. Great narrative. It was very difficult to walk to the building to pick up the tickets for the Alcatraz portion of our excursion because people in our group had limited mobility.

Great experience of SFO in one day
Our driver Jules was our guide as well. Lots of historical information given and iconic sites visited in SFO. Golden gate and Muir Woods were great but unfortunately Sausalito was not included on the day as per the tour booking due to time restrictions!.Alcatraz visit was at the end, a self guided audio tour after our guide instructed us re the pre-booked tickets and the ferry. Overall excelletnt tour and very well organised.

Perfect little get away
Nice experience. The Alcatraz audio tour is superb. Very well narrated. Enough time to enjoy Alcatraz and then to finish up with the cruise under the Giolden Gates bridge. Perfect opportunity to take the most instagram worthy pictures.

Alcatraz is so interesting. Muir Woods was mystical! Sausalito was beautiful. Michael was a very informative guide.

Fantastic tour with Patrick. 5 stars!
We caught the ferry over to Alcatraz in the morning for the first part of our tour. We enjoyed the audio tour. It’s a very interesting place to visit. We met up at 2pm with Patrick for our guided tour around San Francisco and Muir woods. Patrick was very knowledgeable. Full of enthusiasm and great information about everything we saw. We even had a music quiz with chocolate as prizes on the way back which was fun. Would definitely recommend this tour it was great fun.

A good way to see multiple places on one tour.
Good way to see several sites on one tour. It does take you across the Golden Gate Bridge. Tour was overall well organized. The only concern was the fact that if if you do the Alcatraz add-on instead of dropping you off at the port the guy drops you off at the original pick up site and you have to walk several blocks to do the Alcatraz tour. Very short time to try and eat in Sausalito.

When to visit

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.
