This tour starts in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf, where your guide will greet you on Beach Street for a 1.6 km walking tour. As you stroll past crab and sourdough bread stalls, you'll learn about San Francisco's history - from the Gold Rush to the great earthquakes that shaped its destiny.

The tour includes stops at iconic sites such as Pier 39, where you'll spot the famous sea lions, as well as the Barbary Coast Trail, a stretch steeped in port history. Along the way, you will also discover anecdotes related to Alcatraz and its past as a high-security prison.

After the walk, your guide will take you to the ferry at Pier 33, where you will say goodbye before embarking for Alcatraz Island. Once there, you'll tour the prison's wards and courtyards at your own pace with the official audio guide, which includes testimonials from former inmates and guards.

The boat trip will give you breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline and the bay. An experience that combines the hustle and bustle of the waterfront, the seafaring essence and the history of one of the most legendary places in the world.
