Q&A

Q: Can the Alcatraz tour be rescheduled if my friend can't make it?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule the Alcatraz portion, but you'll need to do it directly through the Alcatraz ticketing website. It’s best to check their policy since it can vary depending on availability. For the city tour with Dylan's Tours, they’re typically flexible as long as you give them a heads up. Just be sure to keep your confirmation emails handy!

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Would it be suitable for my 10-year-old niece?

A: This tour is great for families! There’s no strict age limit, and kids usually enjoy both the van tour and Alcatraz. Just make sure to keep an eye on them, especially around the ferry and on the island since it can be a lot of walking. Plus, the audio tour at Alcatraz is fascinating for all ages!

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it really windy by the Golden Gate?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly and windy, especially near the Golden Gate and on the ferry to Alcatraz. I recommend a light jacket and comfortable shoes since there’s some walking involved. If you’re going in the spring or fall, I'd definitely bring a beanie or scarf, too!

Just did the Alcatraz + Lombard St tour, and wow!

I went on this tour last week, and it was AMAZING! Our guide was super fun and gave us all sorts of cool facts about the city. Lombard Street was just as crooked as I imagined, and the views of the Golden Gate were breathtaking. The self-guided audio tour at Alcatraz was chilling but so interesting—definitely something I’d recommend to anyone visiting SF. We brought snacks for the ferry ride back, which was perfect!

Thinking of gifting the Alcatraz Experience + Lombard St tour!

I’m considering this combo tour for my sister's birthday! She loves history and exploring new cities. Just wondering if the ferry ride is long or if it might make her sea-sick? Also, any tips for making it special since it’s a gift?
