Had an amazing visit to alcatraz. Smooth trip. Very informative. This was on my bucket list, am so made up I did it. Would highly recommend. The cruise to see the golden gate bridge was faultless. It was on time, informative and went smoothly. Again highly recommend this tour. We'll worth the money

Our trip to Alcatraz was very interesting & informative. We especially liked the fact that we could stop our “tour guide” when he was getting ahead of us when we were not able to move on due to congestion in the area. Once we could approach the area under discussion, by simply pushing “start” on our radio, we could continue our tour.

Alcatraz and the boat tour were both great. What wasn’t great was with Alcatraz you can use a QR code from your phone. With the boat tour you have to print out a form from an email then take it to a booth to redeem. I didn’t realize they were really two separate tours. It was inconvenient so just beware.

The trip to Alcatraz island was the highlight of our stay in San Francisco. It's a short ferry ride from Pier 33, and as it's a designated national park, we were met by Ranger Nick who took us on an entertaining and informative tour to the cell house at the top. The going is steep, but for those who need it, there is a shuttle. At the cell house there is an audio tour which gives an immersive insight into the history and life on the island. On the way down there is an exhibition about the Native American occupation of the island in the early 70's, which is as fascinating as the island's earlier history. In all, we spent about 2 1/2 hours on the island, including the wait for the half-hourly ferry back to Pier 33. The Golden Gate Bridge Bay cruise leaves from Pier 39, a 10 minute walk from Pier 33. It lasted about an hour and took us under the Golden Gate bridge and gave us a close-up view of the other side of Alcatraz island along with other spectacular views of the bay. It's important to note that the time slot and ticket for Alcatraz is not issued until 2-3 days beforehand, and you are issued with a voucher only for the Golden Gate Cruise. This is because you need to book a time slot in person for the Golden Gate Cruise that does not clash with the Alcatraz portion, and exchange the printed voucher for a ticket. Our hotel was happy to print the Alcatraz ticket and Golden Gate voucher for us. Our Alcatraz timeslot was 10.10am, so we booked our Golden Gate cruise for 4.30pm, which allowed us plenty of time to have a leisurely lunch, explore Pier 39 and see the famous sea lions before getting on board the second boat. This is an excellent combination of tours which contributed to a memorable stay in San Francisco.

The instructions were all conflicting. And my QR code was not sent to me until I was already on the tour. Ridiculous. I will not use La Vacanza Travel again. I used La Vacanza Travel in Thailand and everything was smooth!! Yesterday’s experience was ridiculous!
