Description

Make Alcatraz a Highlight of Your San Francisco Trip – This Combo Tour is the Perfect Way to Experience It! The Alcatraz Ferry and Island Tour PLUS San Francisco Private Group City Tour offers a full day of unforgettable exploration. In the morning, guests can enjoy a private city tour of San Francisco’s most iconic landmarks in an open-air Jeep, allowing them to see more in less time. Travelers can choose between a 2-hour or 3-hour city tour, with stops at renowned spots like the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Little Italy, Chinatown, and the Painted Ladies. Following the city tour, participants embark on an afternoon ferry ride to Alcatraz Island. Visitors will immerse themselves in the rich history of Alcatraz, from its origins as a military fort to its time as a federal prison. The island offers breathtaking views of San Francisco and captivating stories from its storied past. How the Alcatraz City Tour Combo Package Works: City Tour: Guests select either a 2-hour or 3-hour private city tour, beginning at 9:00 AM and concluding at 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM. The tour covers key San Francisco landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, Marina District, and more. Alcatraz Ferry Timing: If the Alcatraz ferry departs within 1 hour of the city tour’s conclusion, guests are dropped off at Pier 33 (Alcatraz Landing) 30–60 minutes before ferry departure. For ferry departures more than 1 hour later, participants are dropped off at PIER 39, where they can relax, dine, or explore before walking to Pier 33 for the ferry. Alcatraz Tour: The Alcatraz Island tour lasts 2–3 hours. Guests are free to explore the island at their own pace, learning about its history and enjoying the scenic views. Return: Return transportation from Pier 33 is not provided, and the activity concludes when guests return from Alcatraz, giving them the flexibility to enjoy the rest of their day. Alcatraz tours often sell out, so booking early is recommended to secure a spot on this unforgettable combo tour!
