Great package tour that has great flexibility on visiting Alcatraz and taking a cruise on the bay! It was a bit cold on the bay cruise so definitely be sure to bundle up. The Alcatraz tour was also great and I liked how you could spend as much / as little time as you wanted on the island!

Tour was very informative and staff was friendly and Professional. You learn a lot about the original mission of the island and it’s progression to Federal prison and then the impact it had on Native American civil rights which was something I was unaware of.
