Full description
Visit Alcatraz and take in the top attractions of San Francisco too on this combination tour package.
The island of Alcatraz has been a U.S. Army asset as well as a federal prison, and has played a role in jailhouse folklore and the historic evolution of the West Coast.
Alcatraz has seen 14 escape attempts by over 30 prisoners. Most were caught, several were shot, and a few drowned in the chilling swells of San Francisco Bay. No one ever successfully escaped alive.
Your Premium Big Bus hop-on hop-off pass is a great way to see the sights of San Francisco. Learn more about the numerous cultures that make up this vibrant city and about its history from the early Spanish settlers through the Gold Rush and to the present day.
Listen to commentary by live English-speaking guides, or enjoy pre-recorded audio commentary in 10 languages.
Your ticket is valid for 1 full day of unlimited hop-on hop-off, 1 walking tour, and Sausalito trolley tour. Explore one of San Francisco's most fascinating neighborhoods on a fun and informative walking tour of Chinatown. The tours are offered daily, and you can ask an agent for locations and time schedules. Also included are a bonus 1-hour bike rental (with the purchase of a 1-hour rental) and Players Arcade Drink and Game Tokens.
