Alcatraz was like a dream. I loved the audio tour. It really helped with the experience. I’m glad that we didn’t have to rush through the experience as we could return whenever we wanted during the ferry hours. The San Francisco Bay Cruise was so beautiful. I was able to capture many amazing photos. It was quite an adventure.

I paid $139 with tripadvisor, when I got to the pier regular ticket price was $42. Not happy with overly charge service.

Ignacio I am sorry you feel this way but you have the audio tour in Alcatraz and another tour (the Bay Cruise) included in your package. Feel free to contact me to arrange you for the part you didn't do by email [email protected] Thank you

The tour guides were friendly, accommodating and professional. The ferry boat ride is quick and they have a tram to assist elderly.
