Alcatraz was cancelled to no power but the red woods and other stops were very nice. Tour guide Robert was funny and knowledgeable

Our tour of Alcatraz was canceled hours before it was scheduled. I’m hoping to reschedule it for tomorrow or else we’ll be gone.

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, Alcatraz had to cancel their tours due to a power outage, which was out of anyone's control. However, we were able to reschedule your tour for the next day, and we hope you had a great experience. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out. We appreciate your understanding!

The entire tour was spectacular. We never felt rushed and we had time to make the tour our own. I can’t imagine getting a rental car and trying to check off our SanFran bucket list the way we did on this tour. It was perfect. Muir Woods was by far the star of the show. Would recommend to anyone taking their first or 10th trip to the Bay Area.
