I don't typically recommend tours since I feel they are a scheme and waste of money. This tour is not the case. SF is a congested city with a lot going on and Alcatraz is an island that has little value if you don't hear the history and story behind it. They will provide you with headphones for a guided audio tour while you walk around. It is pretty cool to experience a jail that held some of the most notorious criminals in history! Hear about how the inmates escaped/or didn't (you decide). Overview: I would recommend this tour to get the full experience of SF and Alcatraz, but primarily Alcatraz. I'm a fellow traveler so I appreciate when other people have given me tips/recommendations while in a new city. If this information is helpful, please let me know by hitting the like button. Even if this review helps only one traveler then it's worth it to know I'm contributing towards making someone's experience better, giving to the global community, and paying it forward. Safe Travels!

The Big Bus San Francisco Sightseeing was horrible. The driver blew past almost all the stops not allowing passengers the opportunity to get off the bus. The Alcatraz part of the trip was ok. I would not recommend this tour. Big disappointment.

I signed up for the Big Bus tour because in truth it was our only way to get Alcatraz tickets. I was pleasantly surprised I used the Big Bus to take the tours around the city, even the night tour, and entire family enjoyed it. Bring your blankets for the night tour, it gets cold! The tour guides were fun and made the trips enjoyable! We would consider this in any big city!
