I really enjoyed the time at Alcatraz Island. But the experience of the van was anoying, the van was delayed 30 minutes, the driver just let us at the Bridge and came Back to pick us un after 1 hour...I could go to do that by myself

Drivers are not allowed to wait in a white unloading zone. He must park in a parking lot space like a guest would. It is similar to an airport where police ask everyone to keep moving. Your driver stayed the entire time at the bridge with you parked and never left. He then picked your group up at the time that was scheduled. We hold and wait as part of our package and that is the selling point. This package is not intended to be purchased by those with cars that can do this on their own. This package was created with those who want a quick Alcatraz/ bridge experience without the hassle of expensive parking, finding a parking spot or hiring an expensive Uber that does not wait.

The video on the ride to the bridge held my teen sons attention. It was the perfect amount of time to explore the bridge.

I got my confirmation for the trip and it had very detailed instructions. Everything went perfect. The guide for the van even gave us an option since it was foggy that he would take us the next day to see Golden Gate Bridge . That was very nice of him.

Our entire staff enjoyed having your family! We typically run in foggy conditions but it was obvious that this weekend's heat wave caused fog too thick to make the experience enjoyable. We as operators place ourselves in your shoes and know exactly what to do to make sure the fun continues with back up plans. We hope you had a great time and have a safe trip home!
