I found this combo just to find a ticket to alcatraz but bike tour was also so much fun. The guide was knowledgable and breweries was good

Alcatraz admission was easy and fast! ...so Excellent.The brewerys tour was nice but the beer was free only at the first brewery, we had to pay at the other two ones. Considering the price of the overall tour, in my opinion, this is not fare.

The Alcatraz tour was great. We had no issues and enjoyed our trip. But, when it came to the bike Tour we were having a great time until the 2nd brewery. As everyone finished beers and chatting my husband and I went to buy our souvenirs and use the restroom. When we came out I watched as the tour guide and the other guests walked off with their bikes and thought ok time to go. We walk around the corner to see they had all left us!!! We were standing there in shock on our bikes like wow. We had literally just been talking to the tour guide as well as other guests and somehow he forgot to do head count and took off without us! Luckily we had asked the tour guide where the next brewery was going to be so we googled the location and headed that way on our own. 10 minutes later the tour guide calls my phone and leaves a very confusing voicemail which I still have. Mind you we were riding bikes so I didn’t hear my phone ringing. Once we stopped at a stop sign he called again and directed us in the direction we should go although we already had navigation. My advice to anyone going on this tour is to ask the tour guide which breweries he will be taking you to ahead of time just in case you get left behind. If that had not happened I would have given this tour a 5 star. We had fun anyway because we are easy going people but I can imagine this experience would have scared most people especially if we had not have had a 20 minute conversation with the guide about which brewery we would be visiting next. I recommend you take the tour BUT save a list in order of which places your group will be stopping.

An interesting tour of downtown San Francisco and a few of its craft breweries. We had to cycle back in the dark so they should consider providing either headlights or starting earlier this time of the year. A highly enjoyable way to spend a sunny afternoon with our adult children.

Awesome tour. You get to see the city up close and personal and visit a variety of breweries with loud local character. Alcatraz lives up to the hype. Well worth it!

My husband and I had a great time! Great way to see the city and Alcatraz all in one day. We wished the bike tour was a little more informative about the city, but overall it was a fun trip.

Alcatraz is a must see in San Francisco. Very fascinating, the only slight downside is waiting in line to get on the boat, but that is unavoidable. The audio tour is very interesting and I enjoyed having free time to wander. The bike tour was fun and there were surprisingly few hills! The only downside here is that you have to get to the venue on your own but our tour guide was knowledgeable about the city and it was nice to get off the beaten path and see different areas
