Pickup details
Pick-Up Included, Return Drop-Off Excluded: We offer a complimentary meet-and-greet service in the lobby of your hotel or at your designated pickup location in downtown San Francisco and nearby neighborhoods. Your private tour guide will be holding a printed sign with our company’s logo and your name.
At the end of the tour, we will drop you off at the Alcatraz ferry terminal.
Important: Please Note
A common misunderstanding: return drop-off is not included after your visit to Alcatraz. To keep costs down and avoid unnecessary overtime for your guide, we ask that you make your own way back to your hotel. Most customers stay near Fisherman’s Wharf, which is within walking distance of the ferry terminal and offers scenic views along the shoreline, as well as attractions like Pier 39, restaurants, and sea lions. You can easily return by cable car or other affordable means of transportation if you are staying downtown.
Thank you for understanding!

El recorrido fue una experiencia única, el guía “Adam” muy bien en trato y conocimientos. Sin embargo las agencias acaparan los boletos de Alcatraz por lo cual escasean y te los venden mucho mas caros.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Estimado Jorge,
Gracias por tu reseña y por las amables palabras sobre nuestro guía Adam. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la experiencia única y del conocimiento y la actitud de Adam.
Sin embargo, me gustaría aclarar tu comentario sobre las entradas a Alcatraz. Es importante señalar que no controlamos ni vendemos entradas para Alcatraz. La Isla de Alcatraz está gestionada por el Servicio de Parques Nacionales, y no permiten que agencias como la nuestra vendan entradas. Lo que reservaste y pagaste no fue por las entradas, sino por un tour privado de 5 horas con un guía local de habla hispana en un SUV de lujo, que incluye una visita a Alcatraz. Este paquete estaba claramente detallado en el momento de la reserva y honramos todos los aspectos del tour, incluso ofreciendo una hora adicional de servicio sin costo extra.
Trabajamos arduamente para proporcionar una excelente experiencia a nuestros clientes, y comentarios como este son desalentadores, especialmente cuando nuestros guías, que voluntariamente ofrecen tours en español sin costo adicional, dan lo mejor de sí mismos. Este tipo de reseñas pueden tener un impacto significativo en pequeñas empresas como la nuestra y en las personas dedicadas que hacen que estos tours sean especiales. Incluso cubrimos la propina del guía de nuestro propio bolsillo.
Esperamos que las futuras reseñas puedan reflejar una visión más equilibrada de la experiencia general del tour y aclarar cualquier inquietud sobre los precios antes de la reserva, ya que todo está claramente indicado sin cargos ocultos. Nos esforzamos por ofrecer servicios claros y transparentes, y apreciamos tu comprensión y equidad al reseñarnos.
Atentamente,
Víctor
Dear Jorge,
Thank you for your review and the kind words about our tour guide Adam. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the unique experience and Adam's knowledge and manner.
However, I would like to clarify your comment regarding Alcatraz tickets. It's important to note that we do not control or sell Alcatraz tickets. Alcatraz Island is managed by the National Park Service, and they do not allow agencies like ours to sell tickets. What you booked and paid for was not for tickets—rather, a private 5-hour custom-guided tour of San Francisco in a luxury SUV, with a Spanish-speaking tour guide, including a visit to Alcatraz. This package was clearly outlined at the time of booking, and we proudly honored all aspects of the tour, including an additional hour of service at no extra cost.
We work hard to provide an excellent experience for our clients, and feedback like this is disheartening, especially when our guides volunteer their time to offer Spanish-language tours at no extra charge. These kinds of reviews can have a significant impact on small businesses like ours and the dedicated people who help make these tours special. We even covered the tip for the guide out of our own pocket.
We hope that future reviews can reflect a more balanced view of the overall tour experience and clarify any concerns about prices before booking as it's posted clearly there- no hidden fees! We strive to provide clear and transparent services, and we appreciate your understanding and more fairness when reviewing us .
Best regards,
Victor
