Fun but uncomfortable
Alcatraz was interesting, enjoyed the tour, didn’t enjoy the picket line we had to cross to get the the tour. While I do support the cause it was very uncomfortable for some who flew in from another state to be engaged in a fight that was not mine but felt I should support.
Operator response
We apologize for the inconvenience as the strike was out of our control.
We are still thankful that the island was still operating despite the small group picketing and that you got to attend.

Trying too book our trip was difficult.
they canceled us they didn’t get back to us in text conversation. Then we’re told they we are booked but separate trip times.
Operator response
Thank you for the one star review for a tour you never took. You left out a few facts.
You tried to book the night before and we told you we were sold out and will refund you. It was not like you booked this tour weeks in advance.
We even tried to call around to see if anyone else could help you out.

Highly recommend
I was on the fence about spending this much to add a wine tasting but it was worth every penny and then some! Vom Foss was amazing and the tasting was with the owner Rex and he made sure we had a fantastic experience. Left with a selection of wine, olive oil, and minis of very craft liquor.
Operator response
It was so nice to see you this weekend at our location! We appreciate your business and hope you have a safe trip home!

Excellent for last minute
Obviously the Alcatraz tour for the original price is hard to get unless booked well in advance. So I was lucky enough to come across this package on trip advisor. Yes it was a bit expensive but the information supplied and directions where easily followed, and the wine and snack was nice, the server was full off knowledge and was a nice fella

Alcatraz with the family
We loved the tour of Alcatraz. The jail cell tour was excellent. The gift shop was fabulous. We had a noon tour so we had to race across town to do the wine tasting by 5pm. The shop owner was delightful. He was friendly and very informative. His shop was really interesting and the tasting was nice. Good variety of wines, plates of cheese and meats were savory. A few things to improve upon is to give more time to get to the tasting. It was definitely enjoyable and worth it. The cost was a second factor. We waited and this was the only place to get tickets a few weeks before. And last, the time for the cruise is given only 2 days before which makes it difficult to plan ahead.
