We had an amazing tour to the Alcatraz Island on our last day in San Francisco! The weather was nice, sunny and not too cold. Highly recommended if you only have a few days in San Francisco. Thank you Klook! Highly recommemded!
This itinerary is for first time visitors to San Francisco who want a quick tour of the entire Bay Area. (suitable for first time to SF) One-day trips in urban areas are mainly for places that are unable to walk or take a ride by themselves. If you use MUNI's transportation costs to convert them, the trip is fully cost-effective, but there are not many points to stay. Stopover attractions include: 1. golden gate bridge / 20 min 2. sutro baths / 20 min 3. twin peaks / 15min will return to the original after the trip The location of the car allows people who have not participated in Alcatraz to get off, and then head directly to Alcatraz landing (Pier 33). The arrival at Pier 33 is about 12:40, and the boarding time is 13:10. A boarding voucher and a photo ID are required to go to the ticket office. Redeem a ferry ticket. Many people at the scene, it is recommended to line up as early as possible (there is no time for you to have lunch, it is recommended to bring your own lunch or buy it on board, there is no food on the island) There is a boarding frequency limit on the outbound journey, which cannot be early or delayed, and there is no Restrictions, just line up at the terminal, no need to redeem tickets. In the end, Alcatraz Island is well worth a visit. I will still want to visit again if I have the opportunity to visit SF again!
A group of people was 7 minutes late when departing, and the tour guide departed. Be sure to be on time! Most of the time I sit in the car, stop and get off to take pictures and there are only 3 points. There are North Beach, the tourist center to take the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Palace of Arts. Other times, I will be on the car. The Chinese tour will be better. At the end, it will be released at Pier 33 to pick up the afternoon itinerary, which is about 12:15. Visiting Alcatraz Island in the afternoon is the designated 13:05 boat departure. It is not possible to change the time and change the ticket 45 minutes before, so the schedule is very rush, there is no time for lunch, because you have to wait in line for the boat after changing the ticket, it is recommended Bring your own simple things to eat in the morning, or sell sandwiches on board. This is a poor arrangement at the time of the trip, and it feels better to switch between the afternoon and the afternoon. The guide to Alcatraz Island is very exciting. The guide voice is changed only on the island. There is also Chinese. There are also indicators for the guided exchange. The person with poor English can still find it. klook also notified quickly after the appointment was successful, and it is worth participating in the whole!
it was a great experience. although it was pouring like cats and dogs on the day we went, but i was still a good one!
Agent was prompt in Response with clear email instructions on meeting point and need to know. Tour guide Michelle was excellent sharing many interesting historical info and facts. I liked the palace of fine arts and all the hop off/on locations even though it is very short 15mins each stop. Driver(Sam) was polite and ride was smooth. Drop off in time for boarding to Alcatraz. Very enjoyable! Thank you!
An awesome experience we Had booking via klooK 😍 we were always updated about our activity tour on whats app. I will definitely recommend this app to everyone to make easy their adventures around the world 🌎
The tour guides in the urban area are full of people and very polite. The introduction is very detailed and the main introductions are all in the car, because the members of the same group mainly travel to Americans in other states, and the speaking speed will be relatively fast. English A certain level of hearing is required to best enjoy the tour. Each scenic spot will leave an appropriate time to get off the car and take pictures. The part of Alcatraz includes visiting the interior of the prison, introducing the history of resistance between American colonists and aborigines, and the implicit discrimination and inappropriateness of prison policies, etc. topic, worth it
The scenic spots in the city are explained by the driver and guide along the way. It is worth visiting in the afternoon to Alcatraz Island. There is a Chinese audio guide to explain.
