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.

O8277SAsandrah, Sep 2026
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.

Absolute must for movie fans!
A must do if you're into films. We had a great time seeing all the different film locations. Bryan..our guide was brilliant! He showed us movie clips as we were travelling along and pointed out the various locations. Several stops for photo opportunities and rest stops. The tour lasts about 3 hours. There was only 5 of us on the minibus which was great. Bryan's knowledge of all the films and more was amazing! Totally recommend this trip...it was fab!

We loved this tour!
We really enjoyed the experience. We went at night & did the audio tour. It was very informative & interesting. The guy telling the story in the library was very knowledgeable & interesting. There was also a guy sharing stories about every day life & it was also very interesting. I would very much suggest doing this tour!! My husband & I both really liked it! It is very cold on the island so definitely dress in layers & a jacket.

Excellent tour. We were allowed on an earlier departure and the ferry over was quick with views over the city. Highlight was the audio commentary at Alcatraz cells. Worth noting the return boat times on arrival at Alcatraz.

Speaking to spirits
Mac made the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommended! If for nothing else, great stories and a way to get to know this little part of the city's history. The old photos of the city and the ghost detectors really added to the experience and we got to use the dowsing rods to talk to a spirit! Mac is the real deal, no B.S. You will love this tour!

San Francisco Chinatown Walking Tour
201emilees, Sep 2026
What a fun morning!
I joined this tour after my original plans got cancelled, and it ended up being the best day of my trip! I particularly enjoyed getting to experience the Chinatown where people actually live and work, not just the Chinatown that is performed for tourists. Linda made a point of asking each of us if there was anything in particular we wanted to hear or learn about before we took off. We also had a group member who was born and rasied in China, so it was interesting to hear her perspective and input regarding the differences between Chinese Chinese culture and American Chinese culture. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to others visiting San Francisco!

Great deal and equally impressive tour
The tour was great and we had such a great time. The boat left right on time and it was a quick trip (about 15 minutes). The Alcatraz tour is self led (you get an audio headset and there are stations where you progress through and listen to former guards, prisoners, and others. I had been before (about 30 years ago) and it was better than I remember. Definitely worth the trip.
