Walk along the world-famous Fisherman's Wharf as your local tour guide shares some of the fascinating history about the area and how SF became the global destination it is today.

We start at Aquatic Park, where you'll see stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. At Ghirardelli Square, your guide will share the origin story of the famous Italian chocolatier. You’ll also learn about the Gold Rush, the Barbary Coast Trail, and more. Glimpse the oddities on display in the old-timey Musée Mécanique, and get your photo taken with the adorable sea lions of Pier 39.

But some of the best pictures you'll get are from 150 feet in the air on the SkyStar Wheel and while cruising to and exploring Alcatraz, the infamous island prison. An audio guide is included with your self-guided visit to Alcatraz Island.
