GetYourGuide traveler – NetherlandsNovember 7, 2023 – Verified booking
Good trip to Alcatraz with boat ride. Very impressive to see the old jail and stories! Also with good view of SF city! Minimum time required for this trip from boarding time (30min) to back at the mainland is 2,5hrs, more if you spend more time at the Island. For people who cannot walk a lot, there is a shuttle to the jail up the hill. Unfortunately couldn’t use the Big Bus hop on hop off tour at all, due to no time left and it goes one way only

Hop on Bus is highly recommended for initial orientation. The guides and bus drivers were all very friendly. However, the information about the country and its people can all be expanded upon. Actually there aren't enough explanations...but they're still good. Alcatraz was really impressive...the short crossing worked really well and you have a nice view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

We can only recommend the bus to everyone, but it is very full on weekends. You have to let a few buses pass by so that you can get a seat (outside). Unfortunately, it's an imposition inside. No ventilation or air conditioning and people sit close together. The trip to Alcatraz is definitely worth seeing!
