What travellers are saying
- susana hernandezChicago, IL1 contributionIf you are considering booking this tour, just do it. Bryan was an excellent tour guide, he was extremely knowledgeable on everything he spoke about and humorous in a way that entertained everyone! He knew the best views, the best times to access them, and was capable of taking amazing pictures of all his guests. His energy was really key in maintaining a positive attitude throughout the long ride! Honestly just book this tour, you won’t regret it !!!Written 24 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Neil L4 contributionsFantastic day, Roman was amazing and kept us all entertained for the whole day! Plenty of wine to taste and a great stop for lunch (with plenty of options to choose from) - we had Mexican and snuck in a Margarita 😁. Fruit/veg market and final photo opportunity at Golden Gate Bridge were lovely ‘extras’ to end the day. You won’t be disappointed if you book this tour!Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PJBrisbane, Australia20 contributionsNo need to book on trip advisor. This isn't a tour, it's just a ticket out to Alcatraz. Was an interesting visit. Definitely a bit of walking involved so beware.Written 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sanela B7 contributionsBen, the tour guy was very knowledgeable and nice. He let my friend sleep in the van while we did the tour because she had a headache.Written 24 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nomad483917Hemlock, MI1 contributionDelightful trip. We truly enjoyed the experience. We were not rushed, had plenty of time to see everything. So nice to have someone else drive us around San Francisco! Bus driver was informative and quite friendly which added to the experience.
Would certainly recommend this trip. Made good memories that will last a long time!Written 24 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Well recommendedWritten 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Deborah B1 contributionThe Alcatraz tour was amazing. Ferry Boat was operated well, clean and well organized. Alcatraz is an incredible piece of American history even if not a source of American pride. Audio tour is very well done. Seeing birds as part of island bird sanctuary is also worthwhile. I would rate this as 5 stars. The reason I rated 4 stars is because the bay cruise information was confusing. I don’t think these should be offered in tandem because they really are not. The bay cruise boat is not as well maintained and the windows in cabin were so dirty/filmy it was hard to see through them. There is clear and informative narration but can’t hear it when outside on the deck, but if inside was hard to see. Timing of fitting both tours in was confusing. We did enjoy seeing San Francisco from the water and was a beautiful evening.Written 7 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brenda R1 contributionOur driver, Dustin, was amazing! Funny, knowledgeable and a good driver. Awesome views and plenty of time! Well, 15 more minutes at Muir Woods would've been nice but we made it work.Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The food, of course, was amazing! There was definitely a lot to eat and try. We tried several new things we hadn't before, and learned a lot!Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amanda J1 contributionExcellent San Francisco tour experience and the only way to see so many city/area highlights in one day. Per was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. He shared pertinent information in a thoughtful way all while driving the tour van. Impressive. His tips for what to do at our stops and around the city were spot on. Our family has awesome photos and experiences to remember our first day in San Francisco.

- rosalee h1 contributionWe enjoyed the history and our guide of the seedy underbelly of San Francisco. I would
recommend this tour to anyone visiting.Written 23 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was surprising how any people were on the boats and island.
The buses were on time, sometimes standing room only.Written 11 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
