I cannot recommend this trip enough.Dominic was our Tour Guide and he showed us around the city in the beautiful Miss Daisy.Dominic contacted us via WhatApp the evening before the trip and again in the morning- I found this very helpful and reassuring.His knowledge and love for San Fransisco was very evident. He was very engaging.You get a "taster" of the "attractions" to enable you to decide what you would like to see more of, which is useful if your time is limited.You wont regret booking this!!

Excellent tour with Dave
I’ve been on several San Francisco city tours and know the difference-maker is the guide. Dave was amazing. He encouraged us to ask questions instead of sticking to a script which we all thoroughly appreciated. He was personable and professional but also had a great sense of humor and immediately we felt like family. We also went to different areas than I’d gone to on other tours, including the Presidio. Would definitely recommend this tour…especially if Dave is your guide!

our guide, Ben was excellent : very knowledgeable, friendly , The comfortable van was not overcrowded enjoyed meeting people from other countries; Tour gave a good taste of the Muir Woods(beautiful) and Sausalito ;would’ve enjoyed a little more time in Sausalito( 1hr ) NOTE: All given the option of staying in Sausalito longer and taking the ferry ba ck. enjoyed the scenic stop to take pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was great we received instructions via email and notifications on where & when to meet; I appreciated being able to save our tickets in our phone wallet

I booked at the 11th hour. The booking team was extremely helpful- they texted theQR code so I didn’t need to go collect the pass. We had a great trip - just the right weather for a short cruise and in good comfort. The free snacks were an added bonus.

I am a local to the Bay Area, but I’ve never done this night cruise of the bay. I would highly recommend it to locals or visitors. It was beautiful, calm, relaxing, and everyone in my party really enjoyed it.

Alcatraz City Cruises: Official Admission Ticket

A San Francisco Must
Booking online easy and ferry boarding easy. At Alcatraz there is quite a steep walk up to the tour start - then a free audio provided and tour to follow. Extremely interesting - as expected - and much enjoyed! Tip would be to have a clothing layer - the wind in the exercise yard is biting and we were there on an extremely hot day! Views stunning.
