Ariana, Long Beach, CA Posted Jan 15, 2019It was a great experience but the audio of the tour wasn’t very great. It was choppy and at times we didn’t know what we were looking at. The hospitality was great. Friendly staff and makes the environment fun.

Susan, Houston, Texas Posted Mar 25, 2019Very efficient on boarding and exiting the cruise. The excellent weather made the experience delighful. Alrhough the recorded device wasn't working properly it did not take away from the trip. I would recommend your cruise company and the experience was a five star.

Nicolas, Quebec, Quebec Posted Jul 31, 2017Great tour at a great price. The audio narration is very informative and works well (individual headphones, you can choose your preferred language). Be there at least 30 minutes before departure to choose a good seat.

Anthony, Tucker, Georgia Posted Jul 3, 2017The Bay Cruise was very good. The cruise was exactly as advertised. The only pity was an act of god which put the golden gate bridge in total fog. When underneath it there was no sign of it. The cruise past Alcatraz island was very good and at least you could see it. The main take of the day, that day, was take a jumper or light jacket because the ocean breeze was very cold despite it being warm near the pier and the start of summer.

Jorge, Chino, IL Posted Dec 7, 2016The cruise was great! Perfect route to see both the Golden gate Bridge and Alcatraz.
-
LAURIE, GAS CITY, IN Posted Nov 27, 2016Really enjoyed the Bay Cruise of the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz Island. The audio was very informing not only about the Bridge and Alcatraz but areas surrounding.
-
Inga, Winnipeg, Manitoba Posted Nov 23, 2016We fully enjoyed our city tour and the boat ride around Alcatraz Island. Our tour guide and bus driver Adolfo was very informative and entertaining. He gave us many wonderful photo op memories and was very kind with helping a senior on and off the bus. Thank you once again.

MOISES, HANFORD, CA Posted May 31, 2016Great for the price
-
Ovelia, Springfield, Illinois Posted May 3, 2016Great to see the city from the Bay view. And to see the back of Alcatraz. My listening device was not the best.
-
Antti, Helsinki, Etelä-Suomi, Finland Posted Apr 3, 2016The tour does not take you to the island but offers a great view to the city. San Francisco must be experienced from that point of view as well.
-
LORRAINE, BOTANY, AUCKLAND, New Zealand Posted Mar 14, 2016Lovely tour around the Harbour very informative. Shame that the Ferry crew were unfriendly and somewhat officious!!
-
Diana, Sottsdale, AZ Posted Sep 3, 2015Great value for the price we paid! Good narration in the language of our choosing. We couldn't get Alcatraz tickets for the tour, so this was the next best thing. It was fun going under the Golden Gate Bridge!
-
Allan, Blantyre, Lanarkshire, United Kingdom Posted Aug 29, 2015Excellent tour. Staff were great. Only had a few problems. 1). Whilst queuing up to board, there was a lot of homeless people harassing everyone for cigarettes & money. This has to be addressed by San Francisco themselves but more could be done to protect tourists from these people. 2). The free audio pack that you are given out before departing is very good . . Well, take my wife's word on that as mine ran out of charge halfway through the cruise. All in all an excellent cruise, very good views.

Paul, Maineville, OH Posted Aug 11, 2015Purchased tickets online a few hours before cruise. Tickets were waiting for us at booth for pickup w/o issue. Able to get on cruise which was ready to depart. Cruise was great!
-
Jeremy, Seminole, FL Posted Jul 11, 2015Had a great time, the audio tour was educational and entertaining.
-
Posted Jul 9, 2015This was a very informative, thorough tour and the fact that the narrative was available in many languages made it great for all the visitors from foreign countries.
-
Debra, Posted May 15, 2015We are two mature related couples from the Midwest traveling through retirement who thoroughly enjoyed this reasonably priced and very informative boat tour. Thanks for enhancing our journey!
-
Posted Apr 27, 2015Great price and friendly staff at check in desk. Plus we were lucky to have great weather on the day of our boat ride. Beautiful views of the bay. Would definitely recommend GuideYou.com to family and friends.

JONATHAN, Posted Feb 28, 2015We loved this tour! The audio presentation was a great way to get to know the city and the bridge and Alcatraz were really cool to see. Great price by guideyou.com as well. Can't get any better than we got!
-
Bonny, Posted Feb 26, 2015Very professional....I was no where near a printer and the young man I spoke with erased all my fears. He called the site where we were supposed to meet to ensure we had our tickets. I was on a school field trip and so it was imperative that our excursion took place. I wanted the students to have a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you.

Erline, Posted Jan 6, 2015I booked the San Francisco Bay + Around Alcatraz on 27 Dec. We took the first tour to avoid over crowded boat. And it wasn't crowded at all! We saw other boat from another company, really packs with people so we can not move freely from one side to another. The staff was friendly and helpful, they provided personal audio guide which was full of interesting history of SF. The view itself was gorgeous! Lucky me it wasn't foggy when I came. We cruised for about 1 hour from Pier 43 1/2, under SF bridge then turn back to go around Alcatraz. We would definitely suggest this tour to my friends!

Barbara, Posted Sep 7, 2014Nice trip around the Bay my family really enjoyed it. Good value for the cost of the trip.

Angela, Posted Aug 18, 2014A great experience. Well narrated and a nice boat!
-
Posted Aug 8, 2014We enjoyed our tour of the bay very much! The audio tour was well done and easy to understand. It was nice to be able walk on the deck or sit with view from windows. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy the city away from traffic and crowds :)

KEISHA, Posted Jul 27, 2014Great time and GREAT SERVICE! Highly Recommend
-
Hilary, Posted Jul 24, 2014Very well organised trip..my only advice would be to wrap up as the boat does get a bit breezy! The only thing i would say is that because of the wind it is often difficult to hear what is being said about the different landmarks.
-

Robert, Posted Oct 7, 2013This is a "must do" for tourists new to SF. Great views of Golden Gate bridge, Bay Bridge and Alcatraz. Narration gives lots of interesting info.
-
NANCY, Posted Sep 27, 2013Good cruise. Gave the tourist a short time on the water.
-
Lucile, Posted Sep 21, 2013Nice trip and explanations in many languages.
-
Posted Sep 15, 2013This cruise and audio tour was wonderful! We were able to have a great view of the city, as well as get up close and personal to the Golden Gate Bridge, and while learning history of alcatraz island and the surrounding area as well. This tour was a decent length of time at an affordable price. Wear a sweatshirt or a light jacket though, as it gets very windy! The experience was well worth it, and we were so glad we did it!
-
Jacques, Posted Jul 23, 2013Enjoyed the cruise and audio narration. Would be nice to have more comfy seats raised abut to see out the windows better on cold days. Staff was friendly and professional, great way to see the city skyline.
-
Lizbeth, Posted Jul 15, 2013The Bay Cruise was amazing! It was the highlight of my trip to San Fran. The city is beautiful on its own but the ferry boat was the icing on the cake. I would do it again and again. The views were phenomenal. Seeing the shoreline and Alcatraz was awesome. I couldn't recommend this tour enough. Of course it was chilly and windy, but from what I hear it always is, so be sure to bring a jacket. They have an indoor seating area you can go warm up in if needed. Our kids loved the ferry ride. Seeing the Golden Gate Bridge up close (you go under it) was too cool. Can't wait to go back.
-
Lisa, Posted Jan 9, 2013Loved this quick cruise! Have been to SF numerous times and still found this tour to be beautiful, interesting, and informative! Definitely recommend.

Posted Jul 26, 2011Hi my Name is Rachna, I took this tour while in San Francisco with my husband and I really enjoyed it. It was a wonderful way to see the city, we try and do a city tour in every city we visit when we first arrive so we know what to go back to if we have time. But this bay cruise was so different.
-
Donna, Posted Aug 8, 2011A good time. The 'guided tour' was good.
-
Nancy, Posted Aug 15, 2011We found the bay cruise to be very enjoyable. It was the 1st time we visited San Francisco, so it was a great way to become familiar with the sights. It was a very affordable way to get a great overview of the San Francisco Bay.
-
GARY, Posted Sep 3, 2011great tour and the bus driver and his partner did a great job
-
elvira, Posted Sep 6, 2011I was satisfied with this tour.
-
Robert, Posted Sep 19, 2011This was a nice hour plus tour of the bay and bridges. Just right for an introduction to the city. Took the tour on our first day in the city along with bus tours. This was almost the highlight of the trip to SF. Only the wine tour was better.
-
Marlette, Posted Sep 27, 2011Loved the cruise, just long enough to see the main sights and allow us to see the rest of your wonderful city. Third time for me. First for my sister in law who is still happily raving about it. It was a perfect cruise on a perfect day. I would recommend it to anyone .

Paul, Posted Sep 23, 2011On my most recent trip to The City(my 4th vacation trip since 1987) I took an enjoyable 1 hour Golden Gate Bay Cruise. On this visit I had a full itinerary planned and the Bay Cruise was just a small part of another wonderful San Francisco experience. Took many, many pictures and everything went fine. Looking for many more dining and sightseeing adventures on my next visit. Booked everything online and now that my printer is finally working I was able to print out my e-ticket and was ready to go. As you can tell, I'm a huge fan of The City and it's at the top of my list for places to live if I could only afford it which I'm sure is a very common malaise mentioned by many visitors. Boston and San Francisco are at the top of my list and I never hesitate to talk them up every chance I get. looking forward to seeing you all again real soon. Best wishes to all.

Anna, Posted Aug 22, 2011It was a great experience for the whole family! The information was very interesting and the views were spectacular! The only negative was that the windows were dirty so if you were inside, it was a little difficult to see out. However, overall a great day!

WHITNEY, Posted Aug 16, 2011It was fabulous!!!!! LOVED it!
