Great value and fun way to experience San Francisco when you don't have a lot of time.
Very good and informative. Great excursion that did not go for a long time. Highly recommend for a quick and fun introduction to San Francisco. Located right in the middle of Fisherman's Wharf with great restaurants and shops nearby.

informative
It actually was a good cruise. You listen on headsets to a variety of interesting information. It was very informative. Sooo many things I didn't know and seeing the Golden Gate bridge from underneath and getting good pics of Alcatraz. It was a good excursion.

Great harbor tour
We booked for early on Monday morning. The ship was not full so we could sit where we wanted - upstairs in the open or downstairs where it was indoors. You get a little recorder with headphones that explains what you are seeing as you pass by. Just the right amount of time (about an hour). And we bought a great picture of ourselves when we got off the boat. All in all, a fun experience.
