*I order a limited number of Alcatraz tickets to go with my city tours. If they are NOT available on your date, book my morning city tour and get Alcatraz tickets direct from Alcatraz City Experiences. Book their cruise for the 2pm ferry or later, and I can drop you at the ferry landing in time to catch your boat.

San Francisco City Tour + Tickets to Alcatraz Example Itinerary

Leave the big buses behind on this guided tour to explore street-art alleys in the Mission, mosaic-decorated stairways in the Sunset, the laid-back outdoor vibe of the Presidio, the Beaux-Arts beauty of City Hall, the famous “Painted Ladies” at Alamo Square, or even go down the REAL crookedest street in San Francisco (it’s not Lombard Street!) It all depends on what you and the rest of the small group are interested in and what unique things are happening that day.

When we’re done discovering the amazing Bay City, you will be dropped off at Pier 33 to grab the ferry. Your afternoon adventure in the San Francisco Bay Area will be an escape to Alcatraz Island!

Fort Point

A great stop, whether you are interested in marine life, architecture, maritime history, or are looking for phenomenal views. Everyone will appreciate Fort Point for the pics you’ll get of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks is in stiff competition with the Marin Headlands for the best views of San Francisco. There is a 64-acre hilltop park with 360-degree views of the Bay Area. It can be windy, so bring a coat.

Palace of Fine Arts

A symbol of rising from the ashes in beauty and strength, this amazing example of San Francisco architecture was originally built in 1915 for the World Exhibition, after the devastating 1906 earthquake.

Haight District

This neighborhood is ever-changing, yet it always holds on to a piece of its varied history. The intersection of Haight-Ashbury is where the peace movement was born. And, you’ll find the Victorian homes resplendent in their new bright colors.

Crane Cove Park

Never heard of Crane Cove at Pier 70 before? Understandable. Pier 70 is the oldest U.S. civilian shipyard, where the first steel ships on the Pacific were built. In 2020, it was revitalized, with recreational space open to the public.

The Rock

The Ohlone thought it was home to evil spirits. The Spaniards came and named it Pelican Island. It then housed a military fort, the first West coast lighthouse, a military prison, & a federal prison. Tours at Alcatraz are filled with interesting stories.
