This is a super-convenient roundup of San Francisco's top sights, including Alcatraz, the most sought-after attraction in the city. A good choice if you're short on time! If the popular City Tour & Alcatraz Admission option is sold out, opt for the City Tour & Escape From Rock Cruise.
Alcatraz Island, San Francisco
Likely to Sell-out!Alcatraz regularly sells out weeks in advance. Book ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

City Tour & Escape from the Rock Cruise
The next best option is the Escape from the Rock Cruise. This 1.5-hour tour sails under the Golden Gate Bridge and then circumnavigates Alcatraz twice.
Hear sound effects and intriguing stories about Capone, Billy Cook the Killer and Clyde Johnson’s Alcatraz escape attempt. Through the tour's engaging narration, go back in time to the days when this maximum-security prison was the most feared institution in the American penal system.
Please note: the City Tour & Escape from the Rock Cruise does NOT include a ticket to Alcatraz.

Bus driver/tour guide was very good. Plenty of information offered but didn't talk too much. Saw much more of San Francisco than we would have otherwise. Well organised logistically. Alcatraz visit is always a highlight.

Great trip overall. It provides you with a solid introduction to this fantastic city. Major points of interest such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz are encountered on the bay cruise. Other landmarks are covered with the bus tour. Highly recommended on the first day of your trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day. Started with a bus tour in San Francisco - driver was excellent with his knowledge. We had a gap of over an hour - had lunch then went to the ferry for our ride then did the
audio tour. Very interesting and would recommend anyone coming to San Francisco to book.

Gray Line bus arrived at our Hotel on time. The tour of the city and bridge area was great, and the driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
The boat trip around Alcatraz and the bridge was also superb. The only negative was the 2+ hours to wait between the bus tour ending and the boat trip.

Something to cross off my bucket list. I have always wanted to go to Alcatraz. I love things that have something historic about them. The narrator was very easy to understand. And the staff were helpful as well. Very interesting
