Alcatraz Inside and Golden Gate Bridge Express Visit By Deluxe Comfort Van

James was the perfect host and gave us very interesting and unique insight to the places we saw along the way. Alcatraz was fascinating and very educational. . What a great day! We would highly recommend this combo!

Audio part of Alcatraz was very good and informative; and process to get there went better than expected. Golden Gate experience with James was very good. James was very friendly and informative. Willing to take pictures of us and his video was fantastic. Would recommend this experience together or separately.

Our van driver and guide to the Golden Gate, James, was very helpful at all times. He knew and shared with us a lot of historic details and information not only about the bridge but also about San Francisco and the Bay Area in general. Thank you again James for a wonderful tour!

Alcatraz was amazing. Enjoyed history of Golden Gate Bridge. James was awesome and dropped us all off at our hotels and took the time to get to know us. Only wish thr Alcatraz cruise also went under GGB.

The driver James was informative, very courteous, loves his job, highly enthusiastic. Very comfortable van, van even had phone charging lines. Alcatraz was a great experience, just actually wanted to be locked up in there. Golden Gate Bridge was very nice. Enjoyed walking part of Bridge but was very windy and cold since crossing pacific ocean

Everything went smoothly and without issue. James our van driver met us as expected. He was a fabulous guide and source of information - a great asset to your company.

Great way to get Alcatraz tickets. Driver was great bringing us to golden gate. Van was very nice and comfy. Loved the video. Very informative.

The van driver for the GGB tour was very nice, easy to talk to, and accommodated us on getting back to our hotel in time for checkout. The video that played while we were driving was very informative and it was great that we got to see both sides of the bridge and had the opportunity to walk on it on the SF side out to the first column! We also had zero issues with the Alcatraz tickets, and I'm very happy to have found this tour because they had spots still available whereas the official Alcatraz site has been sold out for months in advance. The directions with pictures for both tours (as far as where to meet and what to look for) was very easy to follow and much appreciated as this was our first time ever in the area. I highly recommend this tour and this company, and couldn't have been happier with how both tours turned out!! Thank you :)

The trip overall was amazing But James is the person I have ever met. He was our tour guide and went out his way to make us feel great. He really made my San Francisco trip all worth it. You won’t find better customer service anywhere you go. All those bigger company’s have nothing on him. He even dropped us at our hotel which was just out of his kindness. James we appreciate you!

With a mixed bag weather day, we were taken first to the Golden Gate Bridge by van, during which time we viewed a great informational video on the history of the bridge. We were dropped off right at the GGB entrance on the SF side, and chose to walk halfway across. Despite the fog we had some nice views and got a few good pics. The same van returned us to the Pier area about an hour later, and because it was only our family he dropped us off exactly where we wanted to go, which was Pier 39 for lunch. We only had about 40 minutes to eat and get to our boat at Pier 33 (about a 15 minute walk), but made it in time. The ferry to Alcatraz takes about 15 minutes and is an easy crossing. Lots of great views up top. Upon arriving at Alcatraz a gentleman was outside the facility informing guests as to what they could do on the island, and answering questions. We were very happy to have gotten the audio tour of the cell block as part of this package, but when to start the recording is confusing. Bottom line, the staff while tell you, so don't worry and start it too soon. And it is a great presentation - lots of great info, stories and drama. Other than that, you are free to walk most of the island, and there are actually some pretty gardens that are a nice break from all that concrete and steel. Negatives are the hills, which all steep, and the overwhelming smell of bird droppings. You can return to town on any ferry you choose, and they leave every hour. There are rest rooms and a nice gift shop. There is a tram for people with mobility issues, but prepare yourself for an uphill hike. The only other issue we had was not knowing when we were scheduled to do this combo tour until the day before, which did not allow us to plan any other activities for the day. It worked out fine in the end, but that would have been more helpful. Overall this was a great, no fuss or frills package deal.
