    The activities were fine, but when boarding the ferry to Alcatraz, the QR code did not work, I had to go to claim at the ticket sales window and the vouchers to eat were never sent to me. Interesting excursions, but the rest of the efforts not so much. I don't even know if I have rights to claim the vouchers that I never received and paid

Alcatraz + Muir Woods Tour

At the agreed time, we'll meet at 250 Beach Street and head for Muir Woods, one of the most amazing places in Northern California. Located just half an hour from San Francisco, this national park is famous for its giant sequoias.

During the Muir Woods tour, we'll enjoy the green landscapes and tell you all about the particularities of the sequoias. For example, did you know they can grow up to 150 meters tall (492 feet)?

Afterwards, we'll start our way back to San Francisco. Along the way, we'll have an amazing panoramic view of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. To make sure you don't miss any details, we'll make a stop to take pictures of the quintessential symbol of San Francisco.

Your next stop of the day will be at Alcatraz, one of the most famous prisons in the world. For this, you'll hop on a boat (on your own) that will take you to The Rock, as the island is popularly known.

When you get off the ferry, you'll get an audio guide so you can visit Alcatraz at your own pace. During the tour, you'll learn about the history of the prison while listening to stories of jailers and prisoners, thanks to the audio guide.

Finally, you'll take the boat back to Fisherman's Wharf, where we'll finish the tour after 7 hours of activity.

Alcatraz + Muir Woods + Sausalito

If you want to extend the experience, this option is ideal for you. After visiting Muir Woods, we'll head to Sausalito, a charming town built on a hill on the edge of the bay. We'll see the many local art galleries, cafes, and boutiques, as well as artists' residences.

Afterwards, we'll head to San Francisco so you can visit Alcatraz as described in the previous tour. However, before boarding the ferry that will take you to the island, we'll give you a meal ticket that you can redeem at a restaurant in Fisherman's Wharf for lunch.

This activity will end at Fisherman's Wharf after visiting Alcatraz, 9 hours after the start of the tour.

Please note: you'll receive your ferry tickets to return to Fisherman's Wharf from Sausalito. You'll then be directed to Pier 33. We'll also give you ferry tickets to travel to Sausalito from Fisherman's Wharf, and then you'll be instructed on how to meet your guide back in Sausalito.

Schedule

Generally, both tours will start at 6:45 am. However, this schedule may vary. Therefore, we recommend having the whole day free for this activity. We'll contact you 48 hours before the excursion to confirm the exact start time.
