Description

Begin your day with a self-guided audio tour of Alcatraz at the time you booked. Explore the infamous island prison at your own pace as you dive into its rich history. Spend 2–3 hours uncovering stories of notorious inmates, daring escapes, and life behind bars before catching any return ferry to San Francisco. Be sure to arrive at Pier 33 (Alcatraz Landing) 30 minutes before your departure time.

With sweeping views of the city skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz offers more than just history—it’s a visual feast. The audio guide brings the prison’s past to life, immersing you in stories that shaped this national landmark. It’s the perfect mix of haunting history and jaw-dropping scenery, ideal for history buffs, photographers, and first-timers alike.

After your Alcatraz visit, head to Dylan’s Tours Shop in Little Italy (782 Columbus Ave. San Francisco) for the second part of your adventure: The Lombard Leap.

Departing at 2:00 PM, hop aboard an open-air mini bus and dive into San Francisco’s best sights. Wind your way down the famously crooked Lombard Street, then pass through Russian Hill, Chinatown, and the culinary heart of Little Italy.

You'll drive through the Marina District, with views of the Bay, before stopping at the Palace of Fine Arts for a photo op at this stunning Beaux-Arts landmark. Continue through the Presidio, where the city’s natural beauty takes center stage, and take in sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge. We’ll make a stop at the bridge itself so you can snap the perfect photo.

As the tour winds upward into Pacific Heights, you’ll cruise along Billionaires Row, home to some of the most extravagant real estate in the city. Then, we’ll head to Coit Tower for another photo stop, offering panoramic views of downtown, the Bay, and beyond.

The tour finishes back in Little Italy, just in time for dinner or a relaxing evening stroll.

This Alcatraz + City Combo is the ultimate San Francisco experience history, neighborhoods, and scenery packed into one unforgettable day
