This attraction was one we picked only because we wanted to see Alcatraz, but we were happy we did. The food was a good variety and Carol was a great tour guide. We were full for the whole day. The ferry building was so fun, we went back to shop around again before our trip ended. Thanks for a fun time.

Like many other reviews that I have read on this experience, we also booked the tour as a way to see Alcatraz. The Ferry building was easy to find, and parking was available not far away. We met our guide exactly where we were told to meet. The food was outstanding. There was a wide variety of foods that we sampled. Our guide was very knowledgeable about what we were sampling, and the history of the stores that provided our samples. Be sure you go hungry because after the tour, you will probably be full. The walk to the pier for Alcatraz is about a mile away, but they give you about an hour to get there. Was a great experience of the cuisine of San Francisco and the history behind Alcatraz.
