These two high quality tours can be done in the same day - or over more than one day. First, choose a date from the schedule for the 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 seeing the city – from the high vantage of the open top vehicle, or sheltered on the street level deck of the bus. Considering how often Alcatraz sells out at the Pier 33 Box Office, this package is often a fantastic way to get a ticket to Alcatraz and take in several other great city attractions.

Q&A

Q: Can I choose my own date for the Alcatraz tour, and how does the bus tour work with it?

A: Yes, you can choose a specific date for the Alcatraz tour when you book. The bus tour is flexible; you can either do it before or after your Alcatraz visit, and it operates on a hop-on-hop-off basis around the city. Just make sure to check the bus schedule for the day you plan to go. This is a great way to see SF without feeling rushed!

Q: Are there age limits for the Alcatraz tour? Is it suitable for kids?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the Alcatraz tour, and many families take their kids along. However, keep in mind that it can be a bit intense for younger children due to the historical aspects. The bus tour is very kid-friendly too, with plenty of sights that will keep them entertained. Just make sure they can handle the walking involved!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If weather conditions are severe (like heavy fog or storms), the Alcatraz ferry could be canceled. You’d typically be notified ahead of time and can reschedule your tour date. The bus tour operates rain or shine, but it’s a good idea to dress in layers and bring an umbrella just in case!

Thinking about the Alcatraz Day Tour & City Bus Tour combo for my sister's birthday!

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting the Alcatraz Day Tour and 1-Day City Bus Tour in San Francisco for my sister’s birthday. She’s always wanted to visit Alcatraz, and the bus tour sounds like a fun way to see the city too. I heard the audio guide is super informative and available in many languages, which is cool. Just wondering if it’s better to do the Alcatraz tour first or the bus tour? Any tips?

Anyone done the Alcatraz tour recently? How was it?
