Inside Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge Bay Cruise
LaNeicia_W, Sep 2026
Great experience for the family
This was a great experience! The booking was a little difficult for the second part of the tour. I also think it’s a little over priced. Maybe $75-$100 per person is more reasonable.

Definitely worth doing, audio is good, need to be aware it’s all uphill although there is limited shuttle to the top. Views of the bay are breathtaking and boat trip was quick and smooth!

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.

Great way to see SF in a few hours
Randy was an awesome tour guide. You immediately felt like you had known him for years. Very knowledgeable of SF and its history. He was great at answering everyone's questions and made sure we saw all of the important parts of SF in the short time we were here. The Toyota Sienna was very clean, comfortable and easy to get in and out at stops for all age groups. Randy did mention larger groups go on a shuttle bus but since we had a smaller group we were able to take a van. If you are wanting to see SF in a day you should take this tour.

An awesome trip around Alcatraz and cruising under the Golden Gate Bridge. We enjoyed seeing the Pier 39 seals from the view of the boat. Also liked the information and stories as we passed by landmarks.

Everything was great until I had to buy two extra tickets and they were not honored as for the time I bought them for, so our party had to split and make it to the island literally two hours later. Made things inconvenient. Shouldn’t let a second purchase happen if your system doesn’t recognize that it’s a second purchase!
