The San Francisco Bay Lunch Cruise was awesome. Great, food, easy boarding and friendly staff. The boat went out past the golden Gate Bridge, by Alcatraz and then under the Bay Bridge.

I booked this tour for my husband...

zena.impulse, May 2017

I booked this tour for my husband and mother-in-law. My only regret is that I couldn't join them and now that it's over I'll double that. They both can't say enough about how they enjoyed the trip, the food on the lunch cruise, and the people on the boat and on shore since there was easy parking right next to where they entered--valet parking. Thank you all for this fantastic opportunity for them and for making me look brilliant for locating this amazing tour. When I said again how I was sad to have missed out both of them offered to go again when we are all in the area.
