San Francisco Bus Tour and Alcatraz Tickets

Start your experience by seeing San Francisco from an open-top double-decker bus – a comfortable way to enjoy the city as its major landmarks come into view. The tour takes in such recognisable areas as Chinatown, the famous Painted Ladies and Lombard Street.

During the journey, you can make the most of the seats on the upper deck to get a better view of the streets, the architecture and the city’s skyline. The commentary on board rounds off the experience with stories and interesting facts about the sights you’re seeing.

The second part of the tour takes you to Alcatraz, one of San Francisco’s most iconic attractions. The ticket includes a return ferry journey from Pier 33, so all you need to do is head to the pier at the specified time to begin your crossing of the bay.

Once on the island, you’ll enter the Cellhouse, the prison’s former cell block. There, you can walk through the corridors, view the cells and listen to stories about former inmates and prison staff thanks to the included audio guide.

This combination works very well for those who want to get a good overview of San Francisco whilst also setting aside part of the day to explore one of the bay area’s most famous historic sites.
