Fun family experience definitely would come back next time. The service was good and efficient. It was easy to use for a first timer on the app.
Bad Communication and support!

Poor system and overpriced. The link you sent to retrieve our tickets did not work. Said expired even though it was less than 2 hours old. I stressful time and almost literally missed the boat!
Excellent experience

It was an amazing experience and it was an eye-opening experience. It was raining early during our tour and was somewhat dreary. Maybe fitting for this experience.
Great customer service.

We booked this as a non-refundable excursion. Not long after booking, we found out my wife needed cancer surgery. I sent a message and got a very nice message wishing her the best and a promise to refund. We will be headed out there again so we will book with them for sure.

Lots of steep walkways but well worth the history lesson and amazing experience . Horrid conditions they lived under, both inmates and guards. Learning of the families that actually lived there as well was shocking.
If you love History then Alcatraz is a great tour!

The boat ride was easy and quick. And the tour was great. I’m so glad that we stopped for the first part of the tour and listened to Ranger Bennny. He gave so many more insights that the audio tour didn’t

From the beginning to end, this tour was organized. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The tour had headphones that narrated. The views were beautiful. The grounds are hilly, but they offered a shuttle to the top. At Pier 39, you can eat, shop, or view the Sea Lions! Highly recommend!
well organized, and nice...
