Overview
This urban adventure in San Francisco takes you around the city in a safari-style open-air vehicle, then drops you off at the ferry to Alcatraz Island for the cellhouse audio tour. On this uniquely crafted sightseeing tour limited to 12 people, you will see renowned landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and hear quirky stories about the city as an entertaining guide drives your custom vehicle through SF's distinctive neighborhoods. After the four hour city tour, your tour guide will drop you off at Pier 33 where you will catch the ferry to Alcatraz Island. Most guests spend two to three hours at their leisure enjoying the audio walking tour of the former federal penitentiary known as ‘the Rock’. Hotel pickup is included.
Meeting and Pickup
If you take transit, plan to meet us at the Hyatt Regency. This hotel is directly above the Embarcadero BART station Drumm Street exit. Meet at the front entrance to the hotel on Drumm Street between California and Sacramento Streets. This pickup is usually 30 minutes earlier than the Zephyr pickup
End Point
At the end of your four-hour city tour, you will be dropped at the Alcatraz Landing at Pier 33 to board the ferry to Alcatraz. After enjoying two to three hours on the island and in the prison, you can return on any ferry that you wish and make your own way back to your accommodation.
Pickup Information
We are happy to pickup at hotels around downtown San Francisco. If you are staying at a homeshare or outside the pickup area, we can find a mutually convenient place to meet. We can not pickup at hotels outside San Francisco (around SFO, for example).
