The Alcatraz tour was nice. The views were amazing from above. I enjoyed the audible tour learning the history and guiding us through the prison. I wish the group sizes were smaller so you can get a better experience. Everyone was trying to record and take pictures and stumbling over one another. The Golden Gate Bridge was better since everyone was spread out and not on top of one another.

Lashonda: We are glad you enjoyed the van portion of our tour. It was a pleasure to have you. Alcatraz is very busy on holiday weekends so the crowds can be overwhelming. It is always best to book in the off season for a more intimate experience. Regardless, thank you for joining us.
