Not fair- ticket price was double the price in pier 33

I purchased 3 Alcatraz tickets and when I went on pier 33 I realized that the ticket price was double the price at pier 33 . They were selling $44 for each ticket but I bought each for $80. That was not fair at all. You should give my money back

Nice day in San Francisco

Very interesting tour learning how life was inside the island. We were dropped off and your tour begins with a talk and then the day is yours. You decide when you want to go back so no pressure to finish a certain time frame.

Beware!

This company cheated me. They sold tickets to me that were outdated, by a month. We were supposed to go to Alcatraz on 6/15 and the company sent the ticket voucher. When they printed out the actual tickets at the boarding dock, they were dated 5/15. I called customer service and they had no explanation for the issue. I had to buy standby tickets. I will never trust this company again.

Operator response

I apologize as we have made a mistake on the date. You were refunded right away and I am glad that you were able to attend the tour at the end.

Alcatraz tour

The tour is great! Definitely a must-do at least once in your life. Arrive earlier than Viator tells you and have your QR code ready or you could miss your boat. They don’t start boarding at the time you chose, they are pulling away from the dock at that time.

You should be prepared to walk a lot uphill and downhill, so dress appropriately. It was a really great experience to see the prison cells. What a miserable little space to live in. There are beautiful plants and flowers all over the island and you can see that they take care of the island to preserve history.

Save your money! Book elsewhere

Way overpriced! Nothing special made the price worth it. Almost double what the alcatraz ferry charges.

Very interesting and informative if you choose the tour with the head sets. Dress warm if going early in the year.
