Alcatraz Tour Description: Alcatraz Island is a 25-acre island located just 1 1/4-miles from San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. Alcatraz is best known as the infamous and notorious former federal prison - home to the likes of Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelley, and Robert "The Birdman" Stroud. From 1933 to 1963, the Federal Bureau of Prisons used the facility as a maximum security prison. It was closed in 1963 due to its expense. Today Alcatraz swarms with tourists -- about a million a year. Your trip to Alcatraz departs on a ferry from the dock at Fisherman's Wharf. The ferry across the San Francisco Bay takes about 10 minutes. Upon arrival, a National Park Ranger will provide a brief welcome and orientation. You are then free to explore the island and the prison at your own pace. We recommend that you stop at the theatre to see the Alcatraz video following the orientation. The video provides an excellent overview of what you will see. To reach the Cell House, you walk from the wharf up the steep hill on the old service road. The Cell House is at the top of the island. Along the way, you can stop and visit exhibits, see a variety of buildings that were used for various prison uses, and enjoy the views. Another option is to walk along the Agave Trail. The trail begins near the ferryboat landing on the east side of Alcatraz Island and continues to the southern tip of the island. The Agave Trail passes through a protected bird sanctuary and features beautiful plants and flowers. This trail offers fabulous views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. The 35-minute audio headset tour of the Alcatraz cell block is a real highlight (for those who purchase the ticket that includes the Audio Tour). This tour is available in six languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. During the tour, you will hear stories from former inmates and prison guards as you walk through the cellblock. After the Cell Block tour, there is time to see all the sites around the island and visit the Alcatraz museum and bookshop. Ferries depart approximately every half-hour back to San Francisco. You are free to stay as long as you like. Average time spent is 2 to 2 1/2-hours. San Francisco City Tour Description: Enjoy a sightseeing tour of San Francisco. Let our knowledgeable tour guides inform and entertain you while you relax and enjoy this exciting 3 1/2-hour tour of the city. You'll see all the major sights in San Francisco, and the tour will stop for several great photo opportunities. You'll see the major sights in San Francisco, including: Fisherman's Wharf, The Marina District, San Francisco Bay, Palace of Fine Arts, Presidio National Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Cliff House, Ocean Beach and Pacific Ocean, Chinatown, Italian North Beach, Victorian Homes (Painted Ladies), Cable Cars, Nob Hill, Civic Center, City Hall, Opera House, Financial District, Union Square, Coit Tower, Bay Bridge, Twin Peaks, and Ghirardelli Square. The City Tour includes three to four scheduled stops for 10 to 25 minutes at selected sights around the city of San Francisco. We often stop at the Golden Gate Bridge and Twin Peaks (weather and traffic permitting). Other popular stops include the Palace of Fine Arts, the Cliff House and City Hall. This is an excellent way to see San Francisco in a short space of time or to orient you for a longer stay. When you add up the costs of a rental car, parking, and gasoline alone, not to speak of the aggravation of trying to navigate the streets of San Francisco, you will quickly find that San Francisco is not an inexpensive city to tour. We will pick you up at your hotel, guarantee your space on the tours of your choice, and provide an informative tour of the city of San Francisco. Please Note: The San Francisco City Tour with Alcatraz Tour lasts 6 to 8 hours. Exact timing will depend upon departure times for Alcatraz tickets available for the date of your tour. There are MANY sights to see on Fisherman's Wharf before and after your tour to Alcatraz.
