After seeing documentaries and movies, it was unreal actually being there. Beautiful ferry ride to the island. The audio tour (headphones) was amazing and specifically guides you through the tour. The cell tower is at the top of the island. Be prepared for a lengthy, steep walk to the top. For guests with walking challenges, a tram(3mph) is available to take you to the top. There is also an elevator available inside. Very accessible. You can take your time on the island getting all the photos you want. Return ferries have a regular schedule. Upon return to Pier 33, walk on down to Pier 39 and enjoy all it has to offer. Then, if you want to do the Bay City Cruise tour the same day, walk on to the yellow ticket house and exchange the “Must See” email voucher for a boarding pass. Enjoy the beautiful ride! Snacks, drinks, light foods (hot dogs, stadium nachos) are available for purchase on the boat. An excellent time!

Went with a teenager. The bay cruise, standing out on the bow of the boat, was the teenager’s favorite part of the trip, and I completely enjoyed it as well. Alcatraz was also interesting, but we surprisingly liked the bay cruise even more, even though it was cloudy and misting. The company was super helpful when I had a problem getting my tickets.

Daryl I am very sorry about what happened to you and your luggage. Unfortunately in San Francisco there is a lot of smash and grab. We never let luggages or bags in the car if you can see them from the window. There is signs in parking to remind you that!
