San Francisco: Entrance to Alcatraz Island + Ferry round trip

Start your tour at the north end of Fisherman's Wharf and gaze out over the bay while appreciating two of San Francisco's most iconic symbols: the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Your guide will tell you the history of the city, from the Gold Rush and the earthquakes that marked it to its transformation into the global metropolis it is today. Stroll along the waterfront and enjoy the smells and sounds of the food stalls offering local specialties, such as crab soup and clams served on sourdough bread. Also walk a section of the Barbary Coast Trail and learn about its history. At Pier 39, watch sea lions, admire historic ships and immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of the entertainment district. Then, say goodbye to your guide as you arrive at the ferry and explore Alcatraz Island and its famous prison on an audio-guided tour, making sure to bring your camera to capture the moment.
