We enjoyed both experiences. Just know that you have to go in person to the ticket booth at Pier 39 to select your time for the Golden Gate boat tour. It’s a short walk to the Alcatraz ferry pier, so we walked over after the Alcatraz tour and selected a time that enabled us to eat lunch along the pier before getting on the boat.
This was great! Even my kids, 13 & 11, loved it and found it extremely beneficial. We were actually all more surprised how much we enjoyed it.
Good experience with the family, definitely take a sweater and wear comfortable shoes. They do have snacks and drinks on the boat.
Last min was able find the ticket same day, I had bad experience at another place. They contacted me right away, made sure I got my tickets. They text and email the PDF. My husband and I are only here for long weekend, we booked a month advance at another location. They canceled the morning of. I would def recommend this to ANY ONE
Very educational. Get to see city from the bay and see what is at other docks. Worth a visit to Alcatraz and the second boat trip in bay is good, get to go under the bridge. But if trying to see Golden Gate Bridge it is generally fogged in, so clear day may be rare. I understand there is certain times of year that are best. However; you do see Bay bridge, which was an engineering as well, but not as famous. Should promote the Bay bridge more. Liked heading back to dock from Alcatraz and we had to yield to massive Cargo ship which is impressive.
This is a must see if you come to San Francisco. Be sure and get the earliest vote out that you can. It gets extremely crowded. I highly recommend taking the free headsets
I purchased the combo Inside Alcatraz and the one hour boat tour. Both were non refundable. We received the link to the tickets in 2 days. Could not open either link so had to call customer service. He sent me a pdf with the qr code. It worked for Alcatraz which was exceptional. However did not work for the one hour cruise. Ticket taker at that venue would not accept the email for entrance. So we did not get the cruise and are out the money. I have never had a problem with trip advisor before but will seriously look at purchasing tickets at the venue from now on. I did pay money again to go on the cruise which was good. I could have purchased those tickets at the venues for much less than I paid for them via the tour group. Now on
We sent both items to your direct email. If you did not receive the other item you could have simply let us know and we would have sent them to you again. We also texted you saying we sent these items and that if you did not have them to simply email us directly. One you made your way to the second cruise they called us and we resent to them. Much work for something that could have been done by checking your email.
Our trip was very well organised and the staff were very friendly. Alcatraz was amazing, the self guided audio tour as excellent.
We loved having you join us!
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
Fun is what we sell! We are glad you had a good time!
The cruise and tour went Great! It was a good time, for anyone interested in American History! Would recommend.
