Worth it ! - Our tour guide, Jerrick, is very knowledgeable not only with the place but the history as well. Right away he informed us what to expect, and along the tour, constantly giving us tips to maximize it. In alcatraz, always start from the main floor so you can have the headset as guiding tiur. We started from the top since we ride on their service car, no chance to get a headset.

If doing the afternoon... - If doing the afternoon Alcatraz tour, you will be dropped to the Pier area about an hour and a half beforehand as the morning tour returns at approximately 12.30.

Amazing experience - The trip was amazing. Vlad gave more information than I’d had on 2 previous tours. He played photographer for me since I traveled solo. The Muir Woods and Sausalito are a must see. The stop at Golden Gate Bridge had gorgeous views. The private pickups and drop off at hotel made trip even better. I highly recommend.

Joe was great! - Joe was great. He was extremely knowledgeable of the Muir Wood, Sausalito area. The tour of Muir woods and Sausalito was a great complement to the Alcatraz Tour.

Awesome tour guide yet some disappointments - I was in a van of 14 and joe (the tour guide) took us to Muir woods & Sausalito in the morning, which were amazing. Joe was really good, he had been giving very detailed descriptions to the places along of his drive to take us there. Really recommend him to all those who come to SF. And the Muir woods national park tickets were included, I had to pay $15 usd to get in. However, I was kinda expecting a tour to Alcatraz island too becos I paid like €168 euro for the whole day. And I had to pay for my own ticket to Muir woods, no lunch or water provided with this price. Also Unfortunately, I was only given a code to scan on my Alcatraz landing and never got to see anyone else. I was all on my own. It made me feel as if the amount I paid was just for the rides to Muir woods, Sausalito & a drop of at pier 33 to go on the ferry by myself. I mean, joe was amazing, he definitely worth the compliments n the tip I gave in the end. But the tour in general was a bit too expensive. I’d just recommend those travelling in SF to go on Muir woods & Sausalito in the morning with joe. But u can purchase ur own landing ticket to Alcatraz island which saves a lot more money than €168.

Bad experience - They offer the trip in Spanish and it's not like that, the alcatraz leave you in front and they don't tell you well what to do to collect your tickets
