excellent sunset view
excellent sunset view and golden bridge gate
Nice
The cruise was nice beautiful weather and very informative
Disappointed
I tried to cancel it on Saturday and was not successful on doing it. So decided to go ahead and go and there was no place to park unless we wanted to walk a mile. Im 70 and could not do it. I wish I would of had a feedback before I booked on how hard it is to get to the peir. We did not get to take the cruise.
Great Experience fora first-time visit
I had a great time on this San Francisco Bay cruise. For some reason I thought it was only one hour, but ended up being about two, so it started in daylight, went through sunset and ended at night. Having the different light transitions was really beautiful and serene. I used the time to do some writing, and of course to take photos, being that it was my first time visiting the Bay Area. Everyone I saw appeared to be having a good time and I would definitely take this tour again, were I to re-visit the area.
Needs Tweaking
I rate this 3.5--- due to the views of San Francisco at night. We had beautiful weather. However, with all the time cruising, we could have learned so much more about the city-- history, architecture,culture, etc. The pre-recorded tour information was sparse for 2 hours.
