Well organized event to allow as much time on the island to tour the facility. The tour around the bay was relaxing and fun.

Tickets were delivered via email and I received a text from an actual person who promptly responded. Both of the boat rides were efficiently run and left on time. Alcatraz was really interesting with a great audio tour narrated by former prison guards and inmates. You can stay on the island as long as you'd like but I would say to allow 2-2.5 hours, and be prepared to walk up a fairly substantial hill (there is a shuttle for those medically unable). Bay cruise also had an interesting audio component explaining the history of the Golden Gate area. Great views of the bridge and Alcatraz. Recommended.

Pretty amazing experience from the time you get on the boat until you leave and get off the boat. Everyone that works there is pretty awesome. You will not regret it.
