Description
Start the day with an entertaining four-hour guided tour of San Francisco in the morning. Then FINAL the day with a visit to the city's most famous landmark: Alcatraz Prison.
Enjoy a four-hour guided tour tailored for tourists in vibrant San Francisco. At each stop, you'll have the opportunity to step off the bus and soak in the city's iconic sights. Our engaging narration will unveil San Francisco in a unique light, making it a memorable experience!
We'll take you on a captivating journey throughout the city, from the bay to the ocean, with perfect photo opportunities at such famous landmarks as the Golden Gate Bridge, Land's End and the Palace of Fine Arts.
The highlight of the tour is a visit to Twin Peaks, where you can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city from a spectacular 1,000 feet above sea level. For added excitement, consider extending your tour to include a bay cruise or a visit to the Aquarium of the Bay, which offers a complete perspective of San Francisco from both land and sea.
As we explore Golden Gate Park, we'll point out seasonal flower displays, look for bison, and walk past picturesque windmills overlooking the Pacific. Delve into San Francisco's fascinating history, from its Native American origins to the bustling gol drush era, as we traverse the once-famous Barbary Coast. Finally, marvel at San Francisco's iconic Victorian homes as we guide you through the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.
Once your tour of the city is complete, you will be dropped off comfortably at Pier 33 to begin your Alcatraz adventure on one of the extraordinary cruises. Alcatraz Island remains one of San Francisco's most iconic landmarks, and now you have the opportunity to experience its chilling charm firsthand. You'll enjoy an award-winning cellular audio guide and a round-trip boat ride to 'The Rock.' You'll have the flexibility to spend as much time on the island as you wish, but be sure to return in time to catch the last ferry back to town.
Please note that combination tours to Alcatraz Island require a reservation at least 5 days in advance (no same-day combination tours to Alcatraz are offered).

Muy buena atención
Justo lo que buscábamos. La explicación en Alcatraz y el Océano Pacífico nos dejó pensando. El detalle de transporte en autobús de lujo con aire acondicionado suma bastante. Algunas paradas necesitan más sombra para esperar. Si volvemos a San Francisco, lo repetimos.

Altamente recomendable
Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. El punto de encuentro estaba bien indicado y fácil de ubicar. Sale más que hacerlo suelto, pero te ahorra toda la organización. Aprendimos más de la ciudad en unas horas que leyendo tres guías. Si volvemos a San Francisco, lo repetimos.

Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. Ideal para tener un panorama general y después volver a lo que más te gustó. El guía nos dio recomendaciones de dónde comer que resultaron buenísimas. Nos encantó la zona de Alcatraz e do Oceano Pacífico. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

One of the highlights of our trip to San Francisco. The walk up to Alcatraz and the Pacific Ocean was worth every step. You could tell the guide was a local, telling it first hand. If only every tour were run like this.
