Complete with an onboard tour guide, the seven-hour itinerary allows for maximum tour stops, ensuring you'll experience an in-depth tour of San Francisco. There's time for you to leave the shuttle at all nine stops to explore and take pictures.
The major highlight of the tour is taking the one-way ferry cruise across the bay, either to or from Sausalito. Your tour guide will accompany you onboard to provide essential historical background to the Bay Area, Angel Island, Alcatraz and Sausalito. You will spend an hour in Sausalito, located on the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Jump on the ferry to discover where various notorious inmates were incarcerated at Alcatraz, one of San Francisco's most popular attractions.
