After not taking the advice to book Alcatraz early, we found this as the only available option for a same-day booking. The prices were higher, but Jen was awesome and we had a wonderful day making memories. The tour bus was fun and we will definitely be back again.

Disappointing
Picking up tickets was a joke. The Agent was not prepared and did not have our tickets available when we arrived as they suggested.
Tour of Alcatraz was as expected, self-guided and interesting. Ferry ride was uneventful.
Bus portion of the tour was a great way to see the City, especially for my granddaughter as it was her first visit.
Unfortunately, we got on the bus and made it to the next stop where they told us we would be waiting 45 minutes unless we wanted to get on a different bus in 30 minutes. This was very inconvenient as we had excellent viewing seats up top and a sleeping toddler. Now we had to change buses, wait, and get seats separate from each other.
Although the tour states it visits several sites, be certain you cannot actually see these sites unless you get off the bus, walk, and then return to get on a different bus. Very disappointing.

Alcatraz tour was so informative and fascinating. The hop on hop off took me to all the major highlights in the city. I feel like i saw all the highlights in the city in the one day I had to explore. Definitely would recommend both activities.
