San Francisco Alcatraz App Guided Tour with Cruise and Jail House
Layton_R, Sep 2026

Long walk up hill to prison. Can be taxing for older people. Bring water. Prison is under construction so many areas are restricted. Reading a book about the prison history ahead of time helps a lot.

What a great experience, would recommend to anyone. Arrive at Pier 33 ahead of your scheduled boarding time to secure optimal seating on the upper deck of the ferry.

Old ferry boat, but beautiful cruise!
We are Bay Area locals who took some visiting family out for this cruise. To be honest at first, I was very disappointed with the boat. Obviously an old fairy boat. After paying just a few bucks to take the ferry from Alameda to San Francisco it seemed kind of silly to pay 40 bucks to get on an older one. But the cruise itself was absolutely wonderful. We went on the 6:30 PM hour-long cruise in late August and the sun was low in the sky and the weather was beautiful. The view was absolutely gorgeous of the city, the Golden Gate Bridge, and all of the hills around the Bay. Highly recommend!

Great option for Alcatraz et al
After not taking the advice to book Alcatraz early, we found this as the only available option for a same-day booking. The prices were higher, but Jen was awesome and we had a wonderful day making memories. The tour bus was fun and we will definitely be back again.

Bus & Boat Adventure
SueTE, Jul 2026
A great trip for the money
It was a great way to see SF without having to drive ourselves. We thought the bus would take us to the “Painted Ladies” and Holden Gate Park, but we were happy seeing the city and going to and over the Holden Gate Bridge. The audio should be updated because some of the statements have changed. The boat tour was informative and interesting and it was great being out in the Bay and getting to go under the Golden Gate was a highlight.

Enjoyed the night tour. They demonstrated opening and closing jail cell doors. Audio tour is cool, but suggest letting most people go ahead so not all trying to crowd around the same area.

Last day in San Francisco
Today is my last day in San Francisco so I wanted to do something special before I returned home. So doing this sunset cruise was worth it. The most memorable part was watching the sunset.
