What to expect

Embark on a fascinating journey through North Beach, starting at Washington Square Park - the city's inaugural public park. Discover its unexpected role in the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake and fire, while admiring the vintage lampposts and the distant Coit Tower. Step into Saints Peter and Paul Church to appreciate its Italian marble altar and learn about its ties to Joe DiMaggio.

As you stroll through the colourful streets of San Francisco's "Little Italy", your guide will reveal hidden gems along with spectacular views of Lombard Street and the Golden Gate Bridge. The tour continues to Pier 39, charmingly overrun by sea lions, before leading you to your cruise departing for Alcatraz. Once there, an audio guide will accompany you as you explore the prison, admire the gardens, and visit various exhibits. You can return at your own pace.

Should you choose to enhance your experience, additional adventures await. Enjoy panoramic skyline and nature views from 150 feet up on a giant observation wheel or take a bay cruise for sweeping vistas of the cityscape.

What to remember

Accessibility:

This tour isn’t wheelchair accessible

Know in advance:

This tour includes a mile of walking at a moderate pace. Once you get to Alcatraz Island, the amount of walking is up to you, but there are some inclines, so it's recommended to wear good walking shoes
This tour includes a ticket to Alcatraz for a self-guided tour of the island. An audio guide, accessible via your smartphone, is available. The National Park Service only allows one official provider to offer cruises to the island. After your Fisherman’s Wharf walking tour, which covers some Alcatraz history, your guide will show you where to find your cruise
There are two optional upgrades if you'd like to enhance your visit. Enjoy a ride on the SkyStar Wheel or a one-hour cruise along the bay. Both of these upgrades can be completed anytime during your stay in San Francisco. Your guide will give you instructions on how to redeem these upgrades at the tour
Tours run rain or shine, so please check the local forecast to plan. In rare cases when the local partner needs to cancel for extreme weather, they will offer you the chance to reschedule or give a full refund

Remember to bring:

A government-issued photo ID is required for every person 18 years and older who books tickets to Alcatraz Island. You'll need it when picking up tickets at the Alcatraz City Cruises ticket booth, and it may also be required in the boarding area
