Very fun and lots of beautiful views. Dress appropriately because the wind is strong and splashes of water could happen. But all around a great time!

It was very nice and staff made it comfortable and it was very clean and on time as well. Very informative and I like that they gave us a heads up when something was coming up and what side it would be on.

My family and I were super impressed by the whole experience. The two gentlemen that took our photo were simply awesome! My nephew refused to cooperate by taking the picture and they were so helpful! We took the 5:15 PM tour and it was perfect to take those golden hour pictures.

San Fran "Beauty Bay Tour"

Tour staff was great. I had a glitch when ordering tickets and they made it possible for us to get on the tour boat we had asked for. The cruise to Golden Gate, Alcatraz and the bay area was informative. People on the boat were helpful and safety precautions in place. Thanks for making our trip on the water one we won't forget.

Good cruise, but wrong times listed

It was a wonderful cruise of the SFO bay. However, Viator has listed incorrect times for this cruise. If I had waited till the last day in SFO and tried to do the sunset cruise according to the times listed on viator, I would have missed it.
