Amazing!!!!! James the tour bus driver was great, He was a narrator, good driver, knowledgeable and a photographer. He'll take a picture of you at the Iconic Golden Gate Bridge and wait for you as you wonder around and take your own pictures. You will be dropped off at the ferry for your cruise over to Alcatraz which again was amazing. Go and see for yourself, we did not experience any difficulties. Tickets came online as stated in email and all you have to do is just be on time getting to the Hotel as mentioned in the email with instructions,

Easy breezy is how this tour is designed! We want the day to be perfect for you! We loved the part that states guests should simply read what we send! Can you imagine there are tons of people who do not read what we send and then claim we did not send them anything? Those often are the bad reviews we have on here. We are very thankful to have had you join us!

Our driver James was very friendly and knowledgeable about San Francisco. He was able to get us into places and areas where we wouldn’t have been able to get into on our own. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see a unique view of Golden Gate Bridge and east access to Alcatraz.
