This middleman “tour operator” marks up their nonrefundable, non-changeable tour tickets 75% over the face value and, as other reviewers have stated, communication and customer service are very poor. San Francisco Tours and Activities sent us vouchers for the wrong attraction. We had only one afternoon in San Francisco, and instead of going on the bay cruise we’d paid for, we spent 2 hours trying unsuccessfully to get the correct voucher. We called them twice and left messages, but nobody ever called back. You can save yourself a lot of money and frustration and have more departure time options if you book your ticket online directly with the companies operating the attractions: alcatrazcruises.com and blueandgoldfleet.com.
