“Transport was very fast and efficient. Arriving at Alcatraz you can catch a little tram if you’re not too good on your feet. I’m not, but managed the walk ok even if it was quite warm (September). The guided tour was fascinating. You can spend as long as you like there, ferries leave frequently. Absolutely loved my trip.”

“The tour itself was wonderful. Very interesting and fun, and super cool to walk through the old prison. The booking experience, however, was not great. After booking, I got a "voucher" emailed to me. The voucher clearly stated, "This is not your entry ticket. Your ticket and link to the audio tour will be emailed to you 24 hours before the tour." Hmm, that's kind of cutting it close. Well, 24 hours before the tour, I had received nothing. 20 hours, nothing. 15 hours, nothing. 5 hours, nothing. I was waking up in the middle of the night to check my email. Finally, 2.5 hours before the tour, I called…”

“This tour is horrible!!! Do not waste your time with it. There was little to no history or interesting information in the tour and SF has a wealth of history and fun facts. The talk focused on global warming and ocean rising in coming decades. The individual who spoke from his kayak was of no interest at all! I have kayaked this area and I could have shared more information than he did! The tour was so pathetic and annoying that we turned it off and enjoyed a walk in our own. Today was beautiful in SF and we enjoyed the city in spite of this disappointing tour.”
