The Alcatraz and Golden Gate visits were amazing! The tour guide provided some interesting facts and a videoclip throughout the tour. However, the communication in setting up the trip and providing basic transportation information, etc. was poor. Several people from our hotel were disappointed in the confusion regarding pickup time and where we would be picked up. We waited it out to see if the guide would come...he did but was late. If it were just us, we probably wouldn't have waited due to the confusion.

To be clear: You were late and missed our tour. We then had you meet us in progress and rejoin the other 8 guests who had made it to our tour on time. There was not much to say at that point. We send full details and pictures of where to meet us two days prior to the tour. We also text details to your cell phone. We regret to inform you that you were late to this event and the van was on time. If you would like us to provide you with video footage of us arriving and departing on time we will gladly email this to you. As well; we have no problem sending you the footage of you arriving to the front door 15 minutes after we departed. In this day in age everything is recorded for a reason. To our other guests: In 5 years of business we have yet to be a no show or ever be late and this is why we record our departures.
