Alcatraz was an amazing experience but a lot of wasted time in the morning part of the tour. The 3 hour afternoon tour of SanFrancisco was very informative & interesting. Kimberly was a excellent tour guide with a great sense of humour & abundance of knowledge. Tiana was a competent driver & also contributed information regarding various issues. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the kind words about Kimmy and Tyana -- they are real City insiders and love doing this tour. Sorry to hear you did not enjoy the trip to the Ferry Building in the morning. Isn't Alcatraz amazing!

The tour was wonderful from start to finish and definitely value for money. I did this as a solo traveler on my first day in San Francisco and I highly recommend it. Any questions that I had prior to the tour were dealt with promptly by Tim by email before I left Australia. On the morning of the tour I was picked up from my hotel on time and taken to the Ferry Building which was worth seeing. Myself and the tour members were dropped off for the Alcatraz trip and met again later in the day for the rest of the full day tour. Tony, our guide was surberb. He went out of his way to show us all the main sights in San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge from every angle. This part of the tour was for five hours and it was a real treat. I felt that I had really experienced San Francisco in a day.

I thought our guide was gonna be guiding us around Alcatraz, not dropping us off to catch a ferry with everyone else. I felt we had to rush the Alcatraz visit and we didn’t need the coffee stop at the Ferry building, would have liked longer on the island. Kimberly was a very informative and entertaining guide. Instructions for boarding the ferry and meeting after the ferry we’re not clear, 6/8 of us got the meeting place wrong. A few logistical improvements and more information regarding time schedules etc would be good.
