Let us take you across to explore the unique site of Alcatraz. San Francisco is very known city worldwide but Alcatraz might be even more popular amongst tourists. The idea of visiting an old prison is many times exiting. Learn about the history and all interesting facts of Alcatraz with your private guide. If its your first time in San Francisco or a repeating traveler, we are here to make your experience unique.

Alcatraz, a once military and federal prison offshore of San Francisco.

All access to Alcatraz is done by ferry. There is no other way to access. We also would like to inform you that there is no food on Alcatraz. You can only purchase some snacks and candy. It is a really a half day experience to get to know the life in the military and federal prison.

The ferry ride is around 15 minutes from Pier 33 in San Francisco.

Please note that it can be chilly and rainy in Alcatraz. We always recommend to bring a light jacket.

It is common knowledge that Alcatraz tickets are hard to find for same-day and next-day tours. Here at sf bike rental and tours, we have them available on a first-come first-serve basis. Hurry to call and reserve your ticket with us now!

The famous Alcatraz Island where many notorious criminals, including the likes of Al Capone, have served prison time in, is now a once-in-a-lifetime must-see museum to visit and explore. Alcatraz Island better known as “The Rock” offers Alcatraz audio tours of the prison that thoroughly explains the full history of the prison.

These two high-quality, separate-departure tours can be done on the same day or over more than one day.

First, choose a date from the schedule for the daytime Alcatraz prison tour, complete with headset audio (available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish).

Either before or after Alcatraz, you can enjoy a "boat-load" of spectacular views along San Francisco Bay.

Considering how often Alcatraz sells out at the Pier 33 Box Office, this package is often a great way to get a ticket to Alcatraz and make memories going under the Golden Gate Bridge.

At night, Alcatraz prison feels a little bit creepier & perhaps even haunted... but unlike the less personal, only self-guided Day Tour, your small, English only docent-led group at night will learn more history in a less crowded space.

Options include cell entry, short talks, special exhibits, & multiple-stop programs unavailable on the Day Tour.

The prison comes alive as you see escape displays & cells frozen in time – while you listen to prisoner & guard stories, historic details, & sound effects (in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish).

Plus you'll see the best of SF on a 2-hour city loop by open-top bus. The duration can be extended if you choose to hop on and off at various stops. You control the clock.

This combo gets you on the infamous Alcatraz Island, while also showing you many other great city attractions, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Victorian homes, the Palace of Fine Arts, & more. You'll love it!
