To start tickets we’re hard to get there was no bay tour just a ride to the island. There was no tour guide so pretty much walked around aimlessly. Could of been way better considering the cost I paid.

Dear Yvonne, I am sorry you had this experience. The tickets are sent every day before the Alcatraz tour by email. There is also a Cruise include of 1 hour in the Bay and it is actually really, you can see the whole City of San Francisco from the Bay, you see the Golden Gate Bridge and you actually go underneath and that's pretty cool. You see also the Bay Bridge who goes to Oakland. In Alcatraz there is an Amazing audio tour that you should not miss, it's 45min and it's so immersive. All those information are shared and I am sorry you missed that. Please contact me [email protected] and I will resend you the voucher for the 1 hour Bay Cruise. Thank you
