The best way to spend a day in San Francisco

Published on Jan, 2025

The best and most straight forward way to visit Alcatraz! To be clear, the cruise and the trip to Alcatraz are separate excursions. We caught the boat to Alcatraz in the morning from the Alcatraz cruise port. Then later in the afternoon from pier 39 we took the cruise around the bay. Both very enjoyable in their own rights. Make your visit straight forward and fulfilled and book this tour!

Alcatraz Excursion

Published on Jan, 2025

The excursion was amazing and such a great experience. The ferry ride gave you scenic views of the San Francisco mountains as well as the Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge and the Alcatraz Island. The island consists of many hills and slopes so I definitely recommend wearing walking shoes/sneakers. There is plenty to see so pace yourself to be able to enjoy it all. Also pay attention to the departure times for the ferry to go back to pier 33 they are posted all over the island

Visit Alcatraz!

Amazing tour! The audio guidance was incredible with the directions, voices and background noises. So much history. Now I’m going to have to do a deeper dive to learn even more!

Wonderful Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful trip! National Forest Rangers where engaging and helpful. The southern part of the island was open to walk. A definite MUST on your list.

Do not miss! Book ahead.

I rate Alcatraz and the Tower of London on top of my ‘do not miss’ list of Tourist Attractions. The audio tour is very interesting and well paced. Enjoy!
