Christmas Cruise - Red & White runs on Christmas Day which was great for my friend and I as I was visiting over Christmas week. The Bridge-to-Bridge cruise was easy to book at good rates and comes with on-board informative commentary as well as a snack bar. I would definitely recommend going for it to get a bay view of the city of SF and to hear interesting snippets including audio from previous inmates of Alcatraz!

Great experience - The ferry ride is definitely worth it, especially if the weather in the city is clear and sunny. The staff at the gates and inside the ferry are friendly and informative.

Is a good tour but I... - Is a good tour but I wouldn't do it again. Maybe not too many foreigners with English as a second language do the tour which would explain why the guide speaks so fast. Not everyone ask a question to offend but I perceived the guide took it personal when I asked about homelessness. Maybe using a disclaimer not to ask this topic should be available 🤔, other than this she was polite and tried hard to show us the landmarks of the city.
