Full Description
  • Begin your day meeting a local guide who will whisk you under the Dragon's Gate into the largest (and first) Chinatown outside of Asia. Once a warren of brothels and opium dens, travel the narrow street of Grant Avenue, peeking down side alleys and into traditional bakeries, pharmacies practicing Eastern medicine, and even a shop filled with gifts for the afterlife. Hit hot spots like St. Mary's Square and stroll over to Waverly Place, before dropping by a sure hit: the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory. Here you'll enjoy a warm taste of heaven fresh off the machine. Watch the method, practiced for decades, of handmade fortune cookies and take home a special box with custom cookies just for you.
  • As quickly as Chinatown appeared, it will fade behind us as the brilliant textures of San Francisco's Little Italy arise. Walk the well-worn paths of Beat poets and cinematic icons. See the cafe where Francis Ford Coppola sipped espresso and wrote the screenplays for "The Godfather" trilogy. Glimpse down avenues where neon signs beckon and the "Azzurri" reign supreme. Head for lunch on your own in this incredible foodie neighborhood. Your guide will set you up to find the locals' favorite spots.
  • Reconvening with your guide with a full belly, make your way to Alcatraz Landing, pausing along the route to see the 8 turns (in only one city block, mind you!) of Lombard Street, deemed "The Most Crooked Street in the World." As your departure on the ferry draws closer and you reach Alcatraz Landing, your guide will set you up for a great experience, giving you all the insider tips before bidding you farewell. (Tour guides aren't allowed on Alcatraz Island, but yours will tell you what to expect, giving you time to explore at your own pace). 
  • Your all-inclusive Alcatraz ticket means you get a roundtrip ferry to Alcatraz Island, the incredible Cellhouse audio guide (narrated by former inmates and correctional officers), and all the impeccable views of San Francisco Bay including sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge one could only hope for. What a great day in San Francisco!

Description
  • COVID UPDATE. Effective August 20, 2021, proof of Covid-19 vaccination (over the age of 12) is required to enter sites on this tour (currently, Alcatraz does not require proof of vaccination). Everyone (over the age of 2) is required to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status while indoors. For full requirements, please check here.
  • Begin your day with a local guide near the Dragon Gate of San Francisco's beloved Chinatown. Weave through time and space down the main avenue through a neighborhood lined with dragon lanterns, imperial terracotta statues, and all the adornment of a "Little Shanghai". Hear the stories of the more seedy aspects during its Gold Rush foundations. Walk by neighborhood landmarks including Waverly Place and Old St. Mary's Cathedral. Stop into a traditional apothecary featuring fascinating Chinese medicine. Snack on some fresh fortune cookies, a San Francisco invention and take some home for the road (on us!).
  • Switch gears at North Beach, San Francisco's Little Italy. Walk the well-worn paths of Beat poets and cinematic icons. See the cafe Francis Ford Coppola sipped espresso and wrote The Godfather trilogy. Glimpse down avenues where neon signs beckon and the "Azzurri" reign supreme. Head for lunch on your own in this incredible foodie neighborhood. Your guide will set you up to find the local's favorite spots.
  • After lunch, continue to explore sights along the way to Alcatraz Landing, viewing the section of Lombard Street known as, "The Crookedest Street in the World". As you draw near, your guide will give you insider information on how best to spend your time on Alcatraz helping you collect your tickets and putting you on the short ferry to prison. 
  • As you glide over the waters in San Francisco Bay, take in views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco incredible skyline. (We've chosen your afternoon departure specifically because it's when pesky Karl the Fog is most likely napping!) Explore the infamous Alcatraz prison accompanied by the award-winning audio guide. What a perfect day in San Francisco!
  • Alcatraz Clients: Please read the following.
  • Alcatraz Island tickets sell out year-round. This tour must be booked at least 10 days in advance. It is best to book as early as possible.

Weave through time and space down the main avenue through a neighborhood lined with dragon lanterns, imperial terracotta statues, and all the adornment of a "Little Shanghai". Hear the stories of the more seedy aspects during its Gold Rush foundations. Walk by neighborhood landmarks including Waverly Place and Old St. Mary's Cathedral. Stop into a traditional apothecary featuring fascinating Chinese medicine. Snack on some fresh fortune cookies, a San Francisco invention and take some home for the road (on us!).
  • Switch gears at North Beach, San Francisco's Little Italy. Walk the well-worn paths of Beat poets and cinematic icons. See the cafe Francis Ford Coppola sipped espresso and wrote The Godfather trilogy. Glimpse down avenues where neon signs beckon and the "Azzurri" reign supreme. Head for lunch on your own in this incredible foodie neighborhood. Your guide will set you up to find the local's favorite spots.

  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum security prison. On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take to the waters of San Francisco Bay on a local ferry to Alcatraz Island and explore at your leisure before returning to reconvene with your expert guide and wander the neighborhood of Chinatown including a visit to the legendary Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.
  • Begin your experience at a meeting point near Alcatraz Landing where your local guide will greet you. They will begin by sharing the best ways to experience the island - what to expect, secret spaces to check out, and how to plan your day. (Please note, Alcatraz does not allow tour guides to accompany anyone to the island). Then, after your fill of wandering the small island and taking the (excellent!) audio guide tour of the Cellhouse, return at your leisure to find a great spot to eat lunch based on the recommendations of your guide.
  • In the afternoon, reconvene with your local expert near Chinatown for an incredible stroll through this eclectic, historic neighborhood. Instead of sensationalizing the past (true history is sensational enough) your expert guide will lead you through the rise of the Gold Rush with its brothels and opium dens but also bring you to sites like a local pharmacy to see how Chinese medicine is still prominent. Along the way, they will point out the strictly local spots and dive deep into the past.
  • During your time in Chinatown, visit the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory to see how for decades, fortune cookies (a San Francisco invention) have been handmade in this legacy business. If we are extra lucky, (on certain days) meet the owner who is honoring his mother’s legacy and striving to keep this beloved business alive. And you won’t leave empty-handed! Enjoy warm samples and take home a specially customized box with some very special treats inside made just for you.
  • As you weave your way to the closing of the tour, your guide will prepare you for your evening - departing at the crossroads of three “foodie” neighborhoods where you can easily walk to some incredible places to enjoy dinner based on their experience and local knowledge. What a perfect day!

Description
  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum security prison. On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take to the waters of San Francisco Bay on a local ferry to Alcatraz Island and explore at your leisure before returning to reconvene with your expert guide and wander the neighborhood of Chinatown including a visit to the legendary Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.
  • Begin your experience at a meeting point near Alcatraz Landing where your local guide will greet you. They will begin by sharing the best ways to experience the island - what to expect, secret spaces to check out, and how to plan your day. (Please note, Alcatraz does not allow tour guides to accompany anyone to the island). Then, after your fill of wandering the small island and taking the (excellent!) audio guide tour of the Cellhouse, return at your leisure to find a great spot to eat lunch based on the recommendations of your guide.
  • In the afternoon, reconvene with your local expert near Chinatown for an incredible stroll through this eclectic, historic neighborhood. Instead of sensationalizing the past (true history is sensational enough) your expert guide will lead you through the rise of the Gold Rush with its brothels and opium dens but also bring you to sites like a local pharmacy to see how Chinese medicine is still prominent. Along the way, they will point out the strictly local spots and dive deep into the past.
  • During your time in Chinatown, visit the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory to see how for decades, fortune cookies (a San Francisco invention) have been handmade in this legacy business. If we are extra lucky, (on certain days) meet the owner who is honoring his mother’s legacy and striving to keep this beloved business alive. And you won’t leave empty-handed! Enjoy warm samples and take home a specially customized box with some very special treats inside made just for you.
  • As you weave your way to the closing of the tour, your guide will prepare you for your evening - departing at the crossroads of three “foodie” neighborhoods where you can easily walk to some incredible places to enjoy dinner based on their experience and local knowledge. What a perfect day!

  • During your time in Chinatown, visit the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory to see how for decades, fortune cookies (a San Francisco invention) have been handmade in this legacy business. If we are extra lucky, (on certain days) meet the owner who is honoring his mother’s legacy and striving to keep this beloved business alive. And you won’t leave empty-handed! Enjoy warm samples and take home a specially customized box with some very special treats inside made just for you.
  • As you weave your way to the closing of the tour, your guide will prepare you for your evening - departing at the crossroads of three “foodie” neighborhoods where you can easily walk to some incredible places to enjoy dinner based on their experience and local knowledge. What a perfect day!
  • ***Please note, Alcatraz Cruises policy is strict. Alcatraz Island tickets sell out year-round. This tour must be booked at least 10 days in advance. Booking as soon as possible ensures securing your space. Due to Alcatraz policy, you must provide the name and birthdate of each person attending this tour. Anyone who does not supply these names and birthdates will need to be canceled. These names must match the ID (over 18 years of age) presented to Alcatraz Island on the day of the tour. Without ID on the day of the tour, Alcatraz will not release your tickets.***
  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum security prison. On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take to the waters of San Francisco Bay on a local ferry to Alcatraz Island and explore at your leisure before returning to reconvene with your expert guide and wander the neighborhood of Chinatown including a visit to the legendary Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.
  • Begin your experience at a meeting point near Alcatraz Landing where your local guide will greet you. They will begin by sharing the best ways to experience the island - what to expect, secret spaces to check out, and how to plan your day. (Please note, Alcatraz does not allow tour guides to accompany anyone to the island). Then, after your fill of wandering the small island and taking the (excellent!) audio guide tour of the Cellhouse, return at your leisure to find a great spot to eat lunch based on the recommendations of your guide.
  • In the afternoon, reconvene with your local expert near Chinatown for an incredible stroll through this eclectic, historic neighborhood. Instead of sensationalizing the past (true history is sensational enough) your expert guide will lead you through the rise of the Gold Rush with its brothels and opium dens but also bring you to sites like a local pharmacy to see how Chinese medicine is still prominent.

Description
  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum security prison. On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take to the waters of San Francisco Bay on a local ferry to Alcatraz Island and explore at your leisure before returning to reconvene with your expert guide and wander the neighborhood of Chinatown including a visit to the legendary Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.
  • Begin your experience at a meeting point near Alcatraz Landing where your local guide will greet you. They will begin by sharing the best ways to experience the island - what to expect, secret spaces to check out, and how to plan your day. (Please note, Alcatraz does not allow tour guides to accompany anyone to the island). Then, after your fill of wandering the small island and taking the (excellent!) audio guide tour of the Cellhouse, return at your leisure to find a great spot to eat lunch based on the recommendations of your guide.
  • In the afternoon, reconvene with your local expert near Chinatown for an incredible stroll through this eclectic, historic neighborhood. Instead of sensationalizing the past (true history is sensational enough) your expert guide will lead you through the rise of the Gold Rush with its brothels and opium dens but also bring you to sites like a local pharmacy to see how Chinese medicine is still prominent. Along the way, they will point out the strictly local spots and dive deep into the past.
  • During your time in Chinatown, visit the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory to see how for decades, fortune cookies (a San Francisco invention) have been handmade in this legacy business. If we are extra lucky, (on certain days) meet the owner who is honoring his mother’s legacy and striving to keep this beloved business alive. And you won’t leave empty-handed! Enjoy warm samples and take home a specially customized box with some very special treats inside made just for you.
  • As you weave your way to the closing of the tour, your guide will prepare you for your evening - departing at the crossroads of three “foodie” neighborhoods where you can easily walk to some incredible places to enjoy dinner based on their experience and local knowledge. What a perfect day!
  • ***Please note, Alcatraz Cruises policy is strict. Alcatraz Island tickets sell out year-round. This tour must be booked at least 10 days in advance. Booking as soon as possible ensured securing your space. Due to Alcatraz policy, you must provide the name and birthdate of each person attending this tour. Anyone who does not supply these names and birthdates will need to be canceled. These names must match the ID (over 18 years of age) presented to Alcatraz Island on the day of the tour. Without ID on the day of the tour, Alcatraz will not release your tickets.***

Description
  • If only the waters between San Francisco and the lonely island in the midst of the bay could talk. The stories they would tell of dark boats moving dangerous prisoners to and from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, the once-notorious maximum security prison. On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take to the waters of San Francisco Bay on a local ferry to Alcatraz Island and explore at your leisure before returning to reconvene with your expert guide and wander the neighborhood of Chinatown including a visit to the legendary Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.
  • Begin your experience at a meeting point near Alcatraz Landing where your local guide will greet you. They will begin by sharing the best ways to experience the island - what to expect, secret spaces to check out, and how to plan your day. (Please note, Alcatraz does not allow tour guides to accompany anyone to the island). Then, after your fill of wandering the small island and taking the (excellent!) audio guide tour of the Cellhouse, return at your leisure to find a great spot to eat lunch based on the recommendations of your guide.
  • In the afternoon, reconvene with your local expert near Chinatown for an incredible stroll through this eclectic, historic neighborhood. Instead of sensationalizing the past (true history is sensational enough) your expert guide will lead you through the rise of the Gold Rush with its brothels and opium dens but also bring you to sites like a local pharmacy to see how Chinese medicine is still prominent. Along the way, they will point out the strictly local spots and dive deep into the past.
  • During your time in Chinatown, visit the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory to see how for decades, fortune cookies (a San Francisco invention) have been handmade in this legacy business. If we are extra lucky, (on certain days) meet the owner who is honoring his mother’s legacy and striving to keep this beloved business alive. And you won’t leave empty-handed! Enjoy warm samples and take home a specially customized box with some very special treats inside made just for you.
  • As you weave your way to the closing of the tour, your guide will prepare you for your evening - departing at the crossroads of three “foodie” neighborhoods where you can easily walk to some incredible places to enjoy dinner based on their experience and locals knowledge. What a perfect day!
  • ***Please note, Alcatraz Cruises policy is strict. Alcatraz Island tickets sell out year-round. This tour must be booked at least 10 days in advance. Booking as soon as possible ensured securing your space. Due to Alcatraz policy, you must provide the name and birthdate of each person attending this tour. Anyone who does not supply these names and birthdates will need to be canceled. These names must match the ID (over 18 years of age) presented to Alcatraz Island on the day of the tour.

On this incredible one-of-a-kind experience, take to the waters of San Francisco Bay on a local ferry over to Alcatraz Island and explore at your leisure before returning to reconvene with your local expert and wander the neighborhood of Chinatown including a visit to the legendary Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.
  • Begin your experience at a meeting point near Alcatraz Landing where your local guide will meet you to help collect your tickets - not before sharing the best ways to experience the island, what to expect, secret spaces to check out, and how to plan your day. (Please note, Alcatraz does not allow any tour guides to accompany you to the island). Then, after as many hours as you like wandering the small island and taking the (excellent!) audio guide tour of the Cellhouse, return at your leisure to find a great spot to eat lunch based on the recommendations of your guide.
  • In the afternoon, reconvene with your local expert near Chinatown for an incredible stroll through this eclectic, historic neighborhood. Instead of sensationalizing the past (true history is sensational enough) your expert guide will lead you through the rise of the Gold Rush with its brothels and opium dens but also bring you to sites like a local pharmacy to see how Chinese medicine is still prominent. Along the way, they will point out the strictly local spots and dive deep into the past.
  • During your time in Chinatown, visit the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory to see how for decades, fortune cookies (a San Francisco invention) have been handmade, in this legacy business. If we are extra lucky, (on certain days) meet the owner who is honoring his mother’s legacy and striving to keep this beloved business alive. And you won’t leave empty-handed! Enjoy warm samples during your visit and take home a special customized box with some very special treats inside made just for you.
  • As you weave your way through to the closing of the tour, your guide will prepare you for your evening - departing at the crossroads of three “foodie” neighborhoods where you can easily walk to some incredible places to enjoy dinner based on their experience and locals knowledge. What a perfect day!

Not only will you discover a thing or two about the iconic after-dinner treat, you’ll also receive a special custom-made cookie as a little gift from us! Your tour comes to an end in Chinatown but don’t worry - before you go we’ll discuss the eight great cuisines of China and let you know where best to try them, and share some of our favorite places for dim sum.
