San Francisco Classic Cable Car City Tour with Alcatraz Island
This San Francisco experience combines one of the city’s top attractions, Alcatraz, with a city tour of famous neighborhoods, landmarks and sights on board a Hornblower’s Classic Cable Car. After boarding our converted, but still authentic version of San Francisco’s iconic Cable Car, the tour will depart for hidden gems throughout the city. Listen to live narration from your professional city guide, and disembark for further exploration of a few different landmark locations along the way. Stops include the Palace of Fine Arts, the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge at the Vista Point Lookout North, and historic Fort Point. In addition to these sights, the tour includes notable sights such as Ghirardelli Square, Crissy Field, and Presidio National Park. Cruise up and down the hills of San Francisco to admire views of Victorian homes. Traverse Pacific Heights, and take advantage of some great photo opportunitiess as you pass by the home featured in the blockbuster film Mrs. Doubtfire. Pass through North Beach and Chinatown.
The highlight of the tour will be taking the ferry to Alcatraz Island. When you arrive, independently tour the cellblock and other areas using the award-winning audio guide that includes commentary from former inmates and guards. Learn what life was like inside the jail cells of notorious criminals like Al Capone before taking the ferry back to Pier 33 at Fisherman's Wharf.
Tour will include light morning snacks and a boxed lunch.
Smart casual attire and comfortable walking shoes are recommended for all tours. It is also suggested that you bring a jacket. The cable car is open air and temperatures can vary at different points along the tour, especially on the water/ferry.
