This tour is likely to sell out! The Alcatraz daily ticket allotment regularly fills up weeks in advance, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Alcatraz admission:
Board the ferry to Alcatraz at Pier 33 on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Enjoy the scenic ride across San Francisco Bay to Alcatraz Island, and disembark to start your independent tour of this island prison. Put on your provided headset to listen to the award-winning audio tour, “Doing Time,” and learn about notorious criminals like Al Capone who were incarcerated here. Hear about escape attempts from 'The Rock,' and listen to commentary from former inmates and staff.

Muir Woods and Sausalito:
Cross the Golden Gate Bridge and travel north to Muir Woods National Monument for your exploration of the giant coastal redwood trees. This old-growth forest is home to some of the planet’s oldest and tallest trees, which you can admire in all their glory as you walk along shady paths.

Then head to Sausalito, a picturesque small town just north of the Golden Gate Bridge that sits between the Marin Headlands and San Francisco Bay. You have leisure time here to walk along the waterfront, maybe purchase a snack (own expense) or perhaps shop in the galleries and boutiques.

NOTE: Due to schedule limitations with Muir Woods, there is a chance that this tour will be held on two separate days. You will be informed prior if your Muir Woods visit will be held on a different day from your Alcatraz visit.

Thank you for the time you took to rate and review your experience! The National Park Service has determined that the safest way to allow Alcatraz Island to remain accessible, is by limiting the access to enclosed environments. Again our sincere thanks for rating us and reviewing us so favorably!

Very well paced tour. The Guide was very informative. For those seeking value. This is it. Add up the cost of admission and transportation and this is a very good deal. Normally this would have included hotel pick up but due to Covid that wasn’t allowed.

Muir woods

The bus was great. Super Nice and clean. Muir woods was amazing. I would like to have had a little more time in Sausalito to explore. We had time for lunch was about it. Alcatraz was interesting. I liked the boat trip over there the best. Otherwise I thought it was just a lot of hiking around the island because everything was closed so no access to anything.
