The view was outstanding!
Review by: Tracey S, December 2017
If you are expecting amazing customer service then look elsewhere. However it does what it says and provides an informative trip from bridge to bridge with amazing views. Worth doing, just don't expect anything from the staff.

Great trip, amazing views, try it, you'll like it!!
Review by: nails, November 2017
Even though the weather was rainy and windy the day we went out on this cruise it was a great experience to be able to see both bridges and to cruise under them both as well. Also some wonderful views of Alcatraz and the city of San Francisco. The self guided headset that you get on the boat, is very informative and gives you a wonderful insight to the Bridges and the City etc. Would highly recommend this tour on any given day, as you cant pick the weather. This was our third time to San Francisco ..we have now biked the Golden Gate ...walked it and cruised under it.

I ALWAYS ENJOY A CRUISE TOUR. THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT WITH A NICE COOL BREEZE.AMAZING VIEW OF SAN FRAN AND THE 2 BRIDGES.
Review by: Evangelina P, September 2017
Wonderful tour. My cousin was visiting from out of the country and she wanted to visit the Golden Gate-- what better way to see it than by a tour boat that goes directly under! We loved it. It was by far the highlight of our visit to SFO.
Review by: Allison W, August 2017
What a lovely tour. Went with a friend and my two children, 8 and 10, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The audio guide was very informative, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the boat especially the bathroom! was really clean! Would absolutely recommend this tour, as it gives some amazing views of the city :

This San Francisco Bridge-to Bridge cruise was amazing! Loved being out on the water, the day was beautiful and we could see so much more by being on the boat. We highly recommend you don't miss this one!
Review by: Dion W, August 2017
Great afternoon out with a knowledgeable guide - recommended!
Review by: Bill S, August 2017
The price was average, the boarding was haphazard, and the cruise was informative.
Review by: Juanita F, August 2017
Had a beautiful time!!!
Review by: Barbara H, July 2017
We would highly recommend this cruise. The headphones made it so much easier to hear. The cruise gets so close to Alcatraz you can see the buildings. I enjoyed traveling under each bridge.
Review by: Ursula D, June 2017
We had a great tour and an awesome experience. However we also were lucky that it was a sunny and clear day even though a bit windy. The views were spectacular and we even saw whales and dolphins. Our kids were excited and enjoyed the cruise.
Review by: Glenda, June 2017
Excellent head phone guided tour, Red and White fleet well organised. Plenty of room to move around the top deck for viewing and photos.
Review by: Anthony H, April 2017
Great sites and information provided from pre audios. Bring a jacket or sweater gets a little windy. Well worth it
Review by: Donna S, April 2017
Great tour but make sure you rug up, it is cold out there on the water. The recording needs an update but was still very informative.
Review by: David L, April 2017
Great tour of the SF Bay along the water front to the Golden Gate Bridge and then around towards Alcatraz Island, and then to the Bay Bridge and sights along the wharfs near the Ferry Building. Tour was not crowded and you had a chance to take numerous pictures as the boat sailed under each bridge. It was a little windy, but not too cold, and the narration helped described the sites. I would do this again in the future.
Review by: Christina M, April 2017
The tour was amazing! Great views, we had great weather. I think its a great way to see the whole city!
Review by: John L, March 2017
Excellent tour with lots of information during the course of the tour. If I had any criticism the male voice on the audio presentation was not very clear but that did not detract from the enjoyment.
Review by: Steven R, January 2017
Great views, nice trip and good audio commentary. For smaller kids, I'd take a shorter tour, though.
Review by: john_lowson, December 2016
Fantastic experience, everything was so easy and clear to understand. Excellent Value for money and the narrative was very informative. Made my experience in San Francisco so memorable. I would have no hesitation in using Viator next time.
Review by: Kristin G, November 2016
Easy boarding process, and ample seating and standing space on the boat.
Review by: Stephanie F, October 2016
Great trip!
Review by: Guy F, October 2016
This was a very fun tour. The entire trip was about 90 minutes. We would have liked for it to last all day. We really enjoyed the trip and recommend it to anyone. Bring warm clothes it gets chilly and very windy out on the water!
Review by: NOURIN S, October 2016
fun,fun,fun...................
Review by: Pieter C, October 2016
We really enjoyed this cruise. We had a few hours' layover in San Francisco and this was the perfect way to see city and enjoy the trip on the water.
Review by: nicole.rubatino, October 2016
Nice staff, the boat was clean and the audio tour was perfect. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Also, looking at the Golden Gate bridge from the sea is a whole different thing.
Review by: Lyndon G, September 2016
Great!
Review by: Barbara L, September 2016
I gave this tour because the boat was spotless, the audio tour clear and informative, the staff very pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this tour to visitors and locals alike.
Review by: Keith M, September 2016
Great way to see San Francisco, particularly from the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Tour left on time and the multi language audio was very useful. Take plenty of sunscreen and warm clothes - the wind is cool but it is easy to get sun and windburn on the upper deck.
Review by: Linda G, August 2016
Don't miss this cruise - the narration of the sites is excellent, great staff, well kept large boat. Was one of the highlights of our trip!
Review by: Steve P, August 2016
Was extremely informative about the entire area not just Alcatraz, but included a lot of info on Alcatraz too.
Review by: liying s, August 2016
The bridge to bridge cruse is fantastic! It leads you to both the bay bridge and the golden gate bridge. With multi-language narrator, I learn the history of San Francisco. _br/_ Highly recommended!
Review by: billnj0654, August 2016
I do it again, But it was just OK.
Review by: gsiegal, August 2016
Great information, beautiful views.
Review by: Sarah B, August 2016
I thought this cruise would be too touristy, but it turned out to be a really nice way to spend an afternoon and see the San Francisco waterfront from the bay side, without the annoying weekend crowds. The audio guide is a bit too chirpy for my tastes but was very thorough. And seeing the bridges from the water was fascinating.
Review by: Yolanda L, August 2016
My husband and I chose this tour to start our day celebrating our 15th anniversary because he love history and San Francisco is so beautiful the tour let us see and learn about the city in a different way than before.
Review by: Ann H, August 2016
Excellent tour with great informational descriptions throughout our cruise.
Review by: linda_f_elliott, August 2016
It was very informative but very cold! I wore a jacket, scarf and gloves and was still cold! Very windy!
Review by: McN1, August 2016
Great tour. Due to engine noise had hard time hearing the audio at times.
Review by: Christopher A, August 2016
This was a great way to get out and see SF from the water. The cruise was smooth and enjoyable. The audio tour was informative. The trip was 2 hours long, which was just the right length.
Review by: Adriana Q, August 2016
Amazing cruise tour! Highly recommend it for those wanting to get the experience of a lifetime. This is truly the most phenomenal way to see San Francisco.
