I received a telephone call informing of our arrival time for the Alcatraz tour and an email. The staff offered suggestions for the on and off city bus tour and how to see everything we wanted to. We ended up buying an additional day. That included tickets to the Aquarium. It was a great trip! well worth the price.

So we did the whole enchilada, we did all of the bus tours, we did Alcatraz and we did the night tour, and we basically enjoyed all of it, with a special feature at the night tour, but more about that later. We had booked the tickets from home and when we got there we immediately got the tickets exchanged for real tickets. I honestly found them somewhat inflexible regarding the Alcatraz tour (we wanted to go there the second day in the morning, they had booked us for the first day during lunch), but maybe that is just a fact when you want to visit Alcatraz in August. Bus tours: We did all of them and we really enjoyed them. For some reason we did the first part (Fishermans Wharf to Union Square) three times and we noticed that each time the travelogue was different, which was very nice. The stories were funny, interesting, relatable and the folks presenting them really seemed to care, they did not just reeled of the stories, they tried to make them interesting and they succeeded. The Sausalito Tour was also nice, but be aware that the bus has no glass in the windows, so it was very chilly. But, and now we come to the best part: Dress warmly and under no circumstances miss the night tour. And if you can, take the tour with Big Bus Blake. That guy is amazing. He is funny, he is interesting, he is positive and he has a great singing voice. How do I know? Because every now and then he breaks into songs and makes great parodies of well-known songs. Really enjoyed my night out with Big Bus Blake.

The day tour of the city was very informative, it would be hard to see all the different neighborhoods without the bus tour. The Alcatraz portion was amazing! It's great that you have a reserved time to go out to Alcatraz, but can take any boat back you want, leaving you to decide how much time you want to spend. The night tour was wonderful, tour guide Dave, was absolutely the best.
