We had the most remarkable family tour. Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guide truly cared about us, and did his best to make this trip memorable.

This is the cheapest Alcatraz package on Viator! Bare bones prices designed for the economical traveler! Did you see the other prices on Alcatraz packages? $140-180 each? We saw someone on Stub Hub charging $125 just for Alcatraz by itself! This package cost roughly the same as Alcatraz and Uber Rides to the bridge; except you do not have to look for your Uber driver on the side of the highway. You also got a quality 20 minute spiel and a video of how they built the bridge along the way! As well; there was no reason for you to book our combo when you visited the bridge the day before on another tour. It really made no sense to us! You could not get any lower on two quality products put together at the same time on a sold out weekend. We could have charged twice as much but we keep this as low as we can to cater to families. We had to deny 6 families Alcatraz this weekend so we could accommodate you! Sometimes you have to weigh not going to Alcatraz vs going to Alcatraz in your value for money!
