Fisherman’s Wharf + Alcatraz Tour
Fisherman's Wharf Tour
We'll meet at the time indicated at 700 Beach Street, where we'll begin this guided tour of Fisherman's Wharf, the old harbor area of San Francisco.
Starting at the north end of Fisherman's Wharf, we'll walk through the history of this area, built in 1853 and converted into one of the most important maritime centers for the distribution of fresh fish in the United States. We'll also enjoy its lively atmosphere.
You'll walk through the most important points of the port, such as Ghirardelli Square, the Waterfront, and the Barbary Coast. Of course, you'll stop at Pier 39 to see the famous sea lions basking in the sun - they are the undisputed stars of the area!
Afterward, we'll continue our tour of Fisherman's Wharf exploring the Embarcadero promenade, full of restaurants, attractions, and the legendary art deco streetcars.
After 1.5 hours, we'll end the guided tour in the Embarcadero area.
Visit the Island of Alcatraz
If you choose this option, at the end of the tour around the port, we'll give you a ticket for the ferry so that you can travel without the guide to the Island of Alcatraz.
Once there, you can visit the prison of Alcatraz at your own leisure with an audio guide in English.
Golden Gate Cruise
If you opt for this option, when finishing your tour of Fisherman's Wharf, you'll enjoy a 1-hour cruise through the Golden Gate. Our guide from the wharf tour will indicate where you must go to board the cruise ship. As you board the ship, get ready for some of the best views of San Francisco!
SkyStar Ferris Wheel
For this, after enjoying the tour of Fisherman's Wharf, you'll board your gondola, which will take you 46 metres up in the air. From there, you'll be able to admire the breathing views of the area. This 10-minute ride will remain with you forever!
