We went to San Francisco with a last minute notice and Alcatraz Tours were sold out. We found a last minute combo tour to Alcatraz which included a Bay Cruise. We booked it since this was our only chance to get on the island. We were scrambling to get as much in during the day and were in major a hurry to figure out how to convert the voucher to a ticket. These guys answered their direct phone number and quickly helped us figure everything out...and, got us on the Alcatraz Tour an hour earlier which really helped us out. The Bay Cruise was not a disappointment! It took us under the Golden Gate Bridge which was a highlight of the trip and allowed us to scratch the bridge off our list: otherwise, we probably would not have had time to even see it. Awesome trip and I'd definitely recommend Viator.

Thank you Bradley! I am so happy to hear that I was helpful and that you had a great experience with your tour and with me on the phone to help you out! Alcatraz is amazing and the Bay Cruise part is really nice with the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from beneath! At Must See we do everything to make sure that you all have the best experience because we think that everyone deserve that!

They change our reservation from 1 pm to 3 pm. So we are not able to do the bay cruise the same day. And when we went to the bay cruise they are all surprised about the reservation. Like they don’t know anything about it. The did a research & got our ticket got a different day. My point is why do reservations if you will encounter problems in booking a trip.

Dear Cherrie, thank you for your feedback. First I am really glad to know that you liked the tour and you could do both of them. But to circle back, you called me to change your booking dates in a super busy time. Then you wanted to do the tour the original day. The initial tickets were sold and I have to do some magic to get you new tickets for Alcatraz. It is crazy during this period of time. Everybody wants to go to Alcatraz and there is even less tickets than normal time because of the CDC wised recommendations to keep everyone safe 20% of departure boats per day and in each boat 25% of capacity. I told you on the phone and by message all the info to do both tours the same day. I am sorry if I was not clear enough.
