Alcatraz Inside and City Tour Express

Overview

Enjoy two Classic Same Day San Francisco experiences — a visit inside Alcatraz Island and a two hour round trip non Stop Express city tour excursion by selected open air buses/van/Tuk-tuks from Fisherman’s Wharf. Guests will start their day with our express tour then take an assigned time ferry ride to Alcatraz and on the SAME day. Guests will be allotted enough time in between to comfortably walk and both attractions.

No frills! Just thrills! Our basic tour is designed to be an optional economical introduction to the city for those in a hurry! This experience does not offer any stops with re-entry with this package.

Guests will be assigned to either an Alcatraz/afternoon City Tour or Morning City Tour/afternoon Alcatraz based on our reserved voucher times. Guests will be required to meet a check in agent for their bus portion of this event. Guests do not need to take the city tour portion if they only want to complete Alcatraz.

Fisherman's Wharf

Fisherman’s Wharf has been the home of San Francisco’s colorful fishing fleet for nearly a century and a quarter. Rich in history with plenty to see and do, your adventure at the wharf is calling.

Coit Tower

Coit Tower is a tower in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California, offering panoramic views over the city and the bay. The tower, in the city's Pioneer Park, was built between 1932 and 1933 using Lillie Hitchcock Coit's bequest to beautify the city of San Francisco.

Haight-Ashbury

The neighborhood is known as the birthplace of the hippie counterculture of the 1960s.

North Beach

The neighborhood is San Francisco's "Little Italy" and has historically been home to a large Italian American population, largely from Northern Italy.[5] It still has many Italian restaurants, though many other ethnic groups currently live in the neighborhood. It was also the historic center of the beatnik subculture and has become one of San Francisco's main nightlife districts as well as a residential neighborhood populated by a mix of young urban professionals, families, and Chinese immigrants.

Pier 39

Pier 39 is a shopping center and popular tourist attraction built on a pier in San Francisco, California. The family-oriented entertainment and presence of marine mammals make this a popular tourist location for families with kids. The pier is located at the edge of the Fisherman's Wharf district and is close to North Beach, Chinatown, and the Embarcadero. The area is easily accessible with the historic F Market streetcars. From the pier one can see Angel Island, Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Bay Bridge. Blue & Gold Fleet's bay cruises leave from Pier 39.[1]

I bought " Alcatraz Inside and One Day Bike Rental". As it was a last minute purchase, I paid excessively for it which was totally NOT worth the price. I had significant issues with BIKE rental which is via Unlimited Biking. They issue the voucher to redeem for biking which has A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS. I wouldn't of course be able to use the full day biking on the day of Alcatraz tour, plus they have only ONE store where we can pick up those bikes. I recommend re-thinking BEFORE buying them. REMEMBER the ticket has restrictions and might not work around your travel plans.

This is for CITY TOUR EXPRESS by van. This is not a bike rental package and you chose the wrong company which makes us look bad for something we did not even sell you. We ask that you take down this incorrectly placed review for a different company before we have this flagged for removal.

Nice tour. Bring some snacks. The cell block audio tour was spot on. I would like to see the audio tour expanded to the whole island.
