  • Learn at your own relaxed pace with a self-guided audio tour of The Rock

  • Save time with hotel pickup and enjoy an intimate small-group experience

Summary

A custom-made safari-style truck with open-air seating picks you up at your San Francisco hotel. Then, travel through the city on an urban adventure visiting landmarks like the iconic Art Deco Golden Gate Bridge, Sutro Tower, and the history-rich Golden Gate Park. Along the way, listen to insightful and amusing commentary from your guide while getting a sense of the character of the city’s diverse neighborhoods. Then, catch a ferry from Pier 33 to Alcatraz. During the cruise, see the city skyline and Fisherman’s Wharf from the water. On the island, spend as much time as you like exploring the former federal prison known as The Rock at your own speed with an audio tour. When you’re ready to return to the city, take one of the ferries.

About operator:

Hey, there! I craft one adventure per day just for the small group on board and the unique goings on in the City that day. You will leave the double decker buses behind to explore the classic landmarks of SF plus its secluded stairways, secret views, outdoor art galleries and more in a 12-passenger "woody". Then continue your adventure on the infamous island of Alcatraz with the cell house audio tour and time to explore the island on your own.
