Viator Traveler's Reviews
Great day in the city. We went ahead and got our tickets the day before for Alcatraz and it was very easy to do. The trip was great out and back. Then we headed over to the bus area. It was a bit confusing on where to go but everyone was helpful. We loved our bus driver Joanne. I have a newfound respect for bus drivers in the city. Great time had by all. My teenage daughter said her favorite part of the trip was the bus tour. We saw places we didn't even know where there. We also found out that the fog that rolls into the city has a name and a following on social media. Fun fact!! This is our second time booking through Viator and so far we have had great time and experiences.
The trip to Alcatraz was very interesting. Approaching the island by ship increased the tension to what we will be presented to us. The audio tour is absolutely fantastic and very exciting! The bus tour, the next day, gave us a good overall picture to SF. Unfortunately the fog and the temperature were quite low, but the bus driver was entertaining and funny.
