"Lighthouse in and out of the fog. Visit with reservation only"
"So glad I worked this tour into my vacation, interesting and fun!"
"Great tour/viewpoint."
"We had an awful experience !!! We double checked on line and the information was: open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 to 1 pm, free entrance. When we showed up with our car on Thursday at 10 am, we were violently sent back away, and it was not possible to visit by ourselves. The only and sole option is to book for a tour, for 2 HOURS !!!! for $10. There is no other choice. Not only it is absolutely not what was specified on line, but it was not free entrance, the information was a lying commercial , and who has TWO hours to spend for visiting a lighthouse ? ! I was disgusted to be turned back by a rude local guy. All the site was totally closed by barbed wire, and it was impossible to negotiate a quick visit of the lighthouse only. We came, probably as all other tourists, from very far away (from Washington DC). These people should be inspected. We then went to Point Pinos lighthouse, welcoming, free entrance and visit and fascinating location and volunteer people !. We spent half an hour there. DO NOT GO to this one !!!!!"
