The activity was great! We went with our Safety Leadership Team and all 16 people had an amazing time. Best part was seeing the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz up close and personal. We were able to get the best team pictures 🖤

A must do! The BIG BUS office is conveniently located and there are enough stops to see the city. Combining 2 days of BIG BUS with the Alcatraz tour and crossing is a great idea. I highly recommend this activity in SF.

well organized and pleasant to go around to try to understand what it meant to live in prison... congratulations
