Fantastic 5.0
The weather was so great that we could see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz very clearly. We thought the boat would dock at Alcatraz Island, but it didn't; however, it was actually nice because we got to see various other viewpoints in detail.

Very good experience to cruise around the San Francisco Bay during Sunset. Have a closer look of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Angel Island.

Want to see the Golden Gate bridge up close? You will on this cruise! Audio has lots of good information on the bay, sites nearby, Alcatraz, and of course, the Golden Gate bridge. 1 hour cruise was worth the time and price. Lots of photo opportunities, it can get chilly, so be prepared. Drinks and snacks are available, and lots of indoor seating. Of course the best views are on the deck!

The weather was great! The one-way travel time was about 3-3.5 hours, making the round trip 6-7 hours, including breaks. We had 3 hours of free time in the national park to explore, take photos, and enjoy lunch with a beautiful view. It was very satisfying! I'm so grateful for the tour guide's thoughtful arrangements and explanations; the entire trip went smoothly. It was also very considerate to arrange different stops for breaks and food on the way there and back. Highly recommend!

safety: All smooth. The tour was trully an experience worth remembering both Alcatraz and the cruise. itinerary: Expect more walking, wear your comfortable shoes. Prepare your QR codes and be 30 minutes ahead on time. attractions on route: For Alcatraz, Self guided tour is extraordinary. For the cruise better be early to choose best seats in the boat. service: Very good. value for money: Worth it. Free photos after the tour of the cruise.

comfy ride going around sf. if you are short on time and want an overview of all the key touristy places in san francisco this is a good tour to do so. there are some places that can’t bring you to such as the painted ladies as tour buses cant go there. thanks to michelle and judith for the nice tour.
