Wonderful tour
Jake was a great tour guide and driver. I enjoyed this experience. I wish we had more time in Saucilito but I booked the Alcatraz tour so I had a ferry to catch.

Wonderful trip!
Wonderful trip! Our driver, Peter, got us going a little earlier than planned to beat the crowds at Muir Woods, which was well worth getting up for. Would have liked a little more time in Sausalito, but if you are doing Alcatraz in the afternoon you really can’t stay longer than an hour. Alcatraz was very interesting. Overall a great tour. Highly recommend!

The Alcatraz part of the tour is very cool! There is a logos bit of walking on the tour but a good way to learn about part of SF.

Great tour!
I believe that the Alcatraz tour is a must do if you are in San Francisco. I spent a couple hours out at the rock and that seemed to be about the right amount of time.
A big shout out to Viatot because there was some confusion with my tickets as I bought it with another tour. Viator was great at straightening it out and everything took place without a hitch.

I have long been fascinated by Alcatraz and the self guided tour was everything I could have wanted. The park rangers, staff
and book store staff were terrific.
Thank you, Maryanne

Great deal and equally impressive tour
The tour was great and we had such a great time. The boat left right on time and it was a quick trip (about 15 minutes). The Alcatraz tour is self led (you get an audio headset and there are stations where you progress through and listen to former guards, prisoners, and others. I had been before (about 30 years ago) and it was better than I remember. Definitely worth the trip.

Must Do
It’s amazing to learn so much history when you visit landmarks such as this. Alcatraz is definitely a landmark to visit while being in San Francisco.

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.

Fantastic Tour
Great experience. We enjoyed the Alcatraz tour. This operator saved our vacation because are previous reservation was canceled . The views on the ferry ride are amazing and the audio was so interesting. Definitely something everyone should do while visiting San Francisco.

Alcastraz Hop-on Hop-off bus tour
Pick up the tour at the pier for the Alcatraz boat first before the hop -on hop-off bus. It wasn't clear on our booking.

Take this tour
Great tour. We saw a lot of San Francisco’s famous sites, stopping every so often for photo ops. I was very happy that we were able to stop at the bridge for photos. Spent just the right amount of time at Muir Woods so we could hike and take in the beauty of nature. We also added the Alcatraz tour, amazing. Our tour guide made the tour extraordinary; he had lots of stories and information about the city.

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.
