Good
I would have appreciated better communication about the structure of the tour. We assumed (from info provided) that it would start with Alcatraz then move over to Chinatown directly after the ferry returned from
Alcatraz. We found out when we arrived that we would be expected to do our own thing in between the ferry return to the pier and 4pm, when the tour resumed in Chinatown. The communication stated to expect 4 hours for the tour. It should have been communicated that it was non-continuous. The tour was also clearly geared for adults. We had elementary age children with us and some of the information the guide shared (e.g. talking about sex workers) was not age appropriate.
