Highlights

Embark on a half-day tour of San Francisco to witness its iconic imagery, including Victorian hillside homes, Union Square, and the Transamerica Pyramid. But the real highlight of the tour is the infamous Alcatraz. Locked away a mile offshore, Alcatraz was once home to some of America's most notorious criminals, including Al Capone and “Machine Gun” Kelly. Explore the prison's cells with an audio guide and enjoy panoramic views of San Francisco from afar. The tour also includes stops at Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, and Land's End, offering a comprehensive exploration of the city's essential landmarks.
