    The tours are organized by BigBus. You have to exchange the voucher, it's easy, but the office is down the street. When you exchange the tickets, let us know about the start date from HOHO, otherwise it applies immediately. BigBus otherwise cool and eventful as always. Alcatraz was of course the highlight. Super organized on site and simply unbeatable when the weather is nice. On the island you can walk around freely and look around as long as you want. Just super interesting to see and hear what happened there. We recommend

    It was a great experience, just the trip over the Golden Gate Bridge and the great vantage point, everyone should take part, great information about every district. We booked the tour for two days, which is recommended, because you first have to drive the whole route should and then the second time can decide what you want to look at.

    Hop On Hop Off works well, regular departures, buses not too crowded, only the audio commentary is often cut off when the translation is longer than the original. Alcatraz is worth a visit, audio guide easy and informative. Unfortunately, by 4 p.m. (although 3 ships were still arriving) most things were already closed and you could only visit the main building. Unfortunately, the pier for departure is far away from the BisBus building, but you only notice it when you walk (plan at least 30 minutes!)
