Description

Explore two icons of San Francisco with this exciting bundle.

Alcatraz Island

Hop aboard a 30-minute ferry ride across San Francisco Bay to Alcatraz Island, a former federal penitentiary now operated by the National Park Service. Known to the world as “The Rock,” the prison was famous for housing such inmates as Al “Scarface” Capone and the “Birdman” Robert Stroud.

Listen in with a 45-minute cell house audio tour available in 11 languages. Hear stories from inmates themselves, as well as other former residents of the island. Step inside a prison cell and get a feel for what life was actually like during that infamous era. Return back to San Francisco at your own leisure; ferry boats return to San Francisco every 30-40 minutes.

Stroll through this iconic historic neighborhood and marvel at the stunning Dragon Gates, bustling markets, and the vibrant blend of historical and contemporary culture. Led by an expert guide, this tour offers fascinating insights into the area's rich history and highlights must-see locations for any visitor.
