Great tour guide but need better online info - The guide was very knowledgeable,personable, funny. The description online wasn't clear that Chinatown and Fishermans Wharf are just drivebys, not actually a stop. Also that the boat tour is a different company. As we were among last to load due to bus arrival at the Pier, it was standing room only for the whole boat tour. Also, its first come first served on the boat and its possible even with a ticket, you'd have to wait for a later boat. online it said transport back to hotels isn't included, but there is no transport back to tour starting point after the boat tour. Viator said public transportation is available but no help in how and where to access, and if cash pay is accepted. Only parking available at starting point is parking garages for $35 if you show you're going on the tour.

The highlight was Rob the bus driver/tour guide. Very funny and engaging. Best part! - City tour was amazing. BUT the 1.5 hour cruise got CANCELLED as we arrived that morning. VERY disappointing. Never got to see Alcatraz !!!! We received a partial invite, however, that is the minimum expected. It sounded like this happens all the time. The Alcatraz portion of the tour is "sub-contracted" out ... so no one is accountable. BEWARE !!!
