Terms and Conditions

Email Receipt & Voucher

Amigos Tours will send you 2 emails. First, an automatic email receipt will confirming your purchase and credit card charge once you submit your order. If you do not receive an email call 415-336-3875 or send an email to sfamigostours@gmail.com and we will send a duplicate copy.

Next, we will contact the tour provider(s) and confirm your order within 24-48 hours. Tours are almost never overbooked, so it is unlikely that anything will change. Your confirmation will be an email/Voucher. You will need to make a printed copy of your Voucher to hand to the tour provider(s). All tour companies will need to see this printed Voucher. All tour companies will collect this voucher except Alcatraz Cruises.

For Alcatraz combination tour packages, your Alcatraz tickets will come from a pre-paid quota already reserved and fully set aside exclusively for Amigos Tours. Once you make your tour package purchase, the Alcatraz segment is confirmed.

  • Alcatraz is picked up at Pier 33, 30 minutes before departure. Note that the Voucher you present can be either printed on paper or shown on a mobile device. Alcatraz Cruises does not collect Vouchers, but they will require that it be presented.
  • You must bring a Voucher to Pier 33 and be sure that all guests older than age 18 can show a government issued ID. These IDs will need to match the names you submit at checkout on sfamigostours.com.
  • Minors under the age of 18 are not allowed to visit Alcatraz Island, unless accompanied by an adult. Minors must be supervised at all times while visiting Alcatraz Island, Alcatraz Landing and while onboard Alcatraz Cruises vessels, and as such, by purchasing an Alcatraz Package, you expressly agree that all Minors under age 18 will be accompanied by an Adult.
  • There are no refunds or exchanges for Alcatraz Packages except in the very unlikely event that a Wine Country or Muir Woods segment of a package is unavailable. Big Bus Hop-On-Hop-Off tours and Red & White Fleet Bay Cruises do not sell out, so these Alcatraz Packages never have refunds. Only if a Wine Country or Muir Woods segment of your Alcatraz package is unavailable, then you can choose another tour (adjusting for price differences) or you may cancel your order for a full refund – placing your Alcatraz tickets back into inventory and made available to other customers. Otherwise, there are no refunds or exchanges for Alcatraz Packages.

If you are traveling with Big Bus or Red and White Fleet, you are responsible for bringing a printed Voucher to either of those tour providers. For Muir Woods or Wine Country with Tower Tours, you will receive a confirmation number directly from Tower Tours. This confirmation number can be presented on a print out or on your mobile device.

Amigos Tours (and/or the tour provider) is not responsible for delays or missed tours ­– including failure to print your Voucher before a hotel pickup or showing up at the tour starting point. There is no guarantee that you will be able to take the tour without the printed voucher.
