Things to do in Pier 33

Tour was good since it takes you around the city but some stops are a bit far from touristy spots. We had to walk a lot uphill just to see Lombard. Aquarium suddenly wasn’t part of the tour on the day we joined so we didn’t get the tickets that were supposed to be included. Sunset tour was worth it though.

Wait times for the boats was a little long but all in all everything went very smooth and it was a good experience

Enjoyed the bike riding experience very much as I can go sight seeing at my own pace, stopping to take pictures and video clips along the way. The bike provided by the rental company was well maintained and in good condition, make sure the brakes are working well as they are many downhill rides along the way where you need to control the speed for safety. Easy to find location for the bike rental company, very efficient check in and check out process, I strongly recommend it if you want to see the Golden Gate Bridge in close up proximity.

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

It was a tour without a single Korean person, and it was wonderful. We departed right on the dot at 8:40 across from the Gray Line office. They give you a quick moment to take pictures at the Golden Gate Bridge, visit two wineries, and then give you an hour and a half for free time for lunch at Sonoma Plaza. After visiting one more place, we headed back and arrived at 5:30 PM. It was also really great that the driver provided tour commentary the entire way there and back! Even if your English isn't very good, it's still plenty of fun. I used ChatGPT for real-time voice translation throughout the tour to understand, and it was so enjoyable. My only regret is that I couldn't chat with the other tour members because of my English. I highly recommend that Koreans experience this tour, even if you aren't fluent in English!

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.

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!

We were able to board the cable car by showing the QR code on our voucher, but the first staff member told us, "This isn't a ticket." When I peeked at another tourist's smartphone, it looked like they had purchased it locally and didn't have a QR code. Undeterred, I explained the situation to another staff member and showed the QR code, and they let us ride. My heart was pounding, wondering if it would be okay. Since it might depend on the staff member, and there are several around, I think it's a good idea to ask a few different people. Even with that little hiccup, we had a wonderful stay in San Francisco.

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.
