We hadn't planned this tour but after arriving in San Fran unprepared we came across this 1 hour boat trip and going on it was the best decision we made. It gave us a great overview of San Francisco. The audio was interesting and informative, it was also really clear and easy to understand. The staff just walked up to... More

We took the "bridge 2 bridge" cruise that took us to both the Golden Gate and Oakland bridges. All together we were about 90 minutes on the water. A great experience and view of the 2 bridges, Alcatraz as well as the S F skyline and piers. The audio guide was available in several languages and gave interesting information without... More

Hopped on with a AAA discount when we only had a few hours in town. Was a glorious day, and the time on the water was terrific. The narration on the headphones followed our trip well, and while a little corny at times, gave a great historical overview of the whole city in a way that was easy to hear... More

We took the family on the Bridge to Bridge tour on a sunny day. Great views of the bridges, Alcatraz and the skyline. The America's Cup boats are beginning to practice in the area and we had close up views of the crews as the catamarans whizzed past. The kite surfers in the Bay were great too. Narration through headsets... More

Used a groupon for $26 for the 2 of us. Headphones given with translations in about 10 languages for a guided talk. An easy hour around the bay, under the bridge and alongside Alcatraz. Bar on board if you can't go without a drink or snacks for an hour!

This is one of the best harbor tours I have encountered. The usual narration is over a public address system and ad-libbed by a smart aleck kid. This was professionally done and broadcast over headphones which helped keep out the wind sound you always encounter on a moving boat. There was a lot of thought that went into the narration... More

Started yet again on a cloudy morning. Did not think weather would improve, but sun came out. Myst have taken 50+ pictures if the bridge, thank god for the digital age. Trip takes you under the bridge and back past Alcatraz.

Had a groupon for the bridge tour and I'm so glad we did. The views from the boat are breathtaking. We went under the golden gate and around Alcatraz. There were not a lot of people on our boat but people were really nice and everyone was taking pictures for each other. the headset commentary was an added bonus bc... More

Easy to book, easy to find on the wharf. Perfect for sight-seeing the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz from the water. Our 6 year old was entertained the entire 60-90 minutes, younger children might become restless. Not at all busy in March 2013, lots of deck space at the rail. Watch Groupon for excellent 2-for-1 deals.
