"‘Сан - Франциско восхитительный город, который обладает всеми достопримечательностями будущего’" ~Оскар Уайлд~
Новая, обзорная трех-с-половиной-часовая индивидуальная экскурсия по Сан-Франциско – это идеальный вариант знакомства с прекрасным городом. Данный тур мы очень рекомендуем тем, кто впервые посетил данный чудесный город или имеет ограничения во времени. Это лучший способ увидеть самые известные достопримечательности Сан-Франциско за короткое время. Более того, Вы сможете посетить те достопримечательности, куда проезд на больших автобусах и фургонах строго запрещен. В экскурсионную программу включены самые известные памятки, исторические районы и прекрасные панорамы. Наши ежедневные экскурсии могут проводиться на нескольких языках отличными гидами, профессионалами в своем деле, в режиме реального времени (никаких аудио записей!).
Данная обзорная экскурсия по городу проводится ежедневно в разное время: утром, днем, а также вечером на роскошных автомобилях или микроавтобусах, рассчитанных на небольшое количество туристов. Гостей всегда сопровождают высококвалифицированные экскурсоводы, по праву заслужившие сотни положительных отзывов TripAdvisor.
Въезд на некоторые из наиболее популярных среди фотографов мест и улиц запрещен большим экскурсионным автобусам. Они должны останавливаться за ½ мили от Ломбард-Стрит, "Самой извилистой улицы в мире". Это не просто улица – это символ, объединяющий в себе все холмистые и ветреные улицы Сан-Франциско. Мы не только сможем провезти Вас к ней, но и проехать по самой улице, остановившись на самом верху, чтобы сделать фото. Среди прочих главных достопримечательностей, Вы увидите Ноб-Хилл и Чайнатаун, через Юнион-Сквер проедете к Норт-Бич и Рыбацкому причалу Сан-Франциско.
Вы сможете посетить квартал Марина и остановиться у Дворца изящных искусств. Мы проедем по одному из самых эксклюзивных районов города с завораживающими викторианскими домами эпохи Королевы Анны – Пасифик Хейтс. Следующей фото-остановкой станет исторический район Пресидио и южный выезд с моста Голден Гейт. Не забудьте сделать фото у смотровой площадки Клиф Хаус с видом на Оушен Бич и Голден Гейт парк. Также мы подымимся на неповторимый Твин Пикс, откуда Вам откроются захватывающие незабываемые панорамы Сан-Франциска и залива. Когда на Твин Пикс опускается туман, мы предлагаем заменить данную остановку путешествием к Телеграф Хилл и Койт Тауэр (билеты на вершину башни не входят в стоимость тура, но вход в само строение и к восстановленным фрескам 1930-х годов бесплатен).
Далее наш путь пролегает через Хейт-Эшбери, где проживали Скотт МакКензи, Джерри Гарсия и Дженис Джоплин. Тут бывал даже Джон Леннон – жил напротив нынешней "Любовь, Мир и Мороженое" от Джерри Гарсия. Некоторые новоявленные хиппи до сих пор играют тут на гитарах, а "Happy High Herbs" поставляют "зеленые лекарства".
Аламо Сквер и классические "Разукрашенные леди" знамениты своими викторианскими домами, где снимали сериал "Фул Хаус" (1987-1995). Сити Холл недавно запретил въезд большим туристическим автобусам в данный район. Но, частные автомобильные туры разрешены. Полюбуйтесь классическими викторианскими домами, возвышающимися над небоскребами центра города.
Обратите внимание: В Сан-Франциско и его окрестностях очень много стоящих внимания памяток и достопримечательностей, поэтому мы рекомендуем заказать однодневную обзорную экскурсию по Сан-Франциско с посещением Саусалито, смотровой площадки Мьюир Вудс (с впечатляющими панорамами Тихого океана) и Национального парка Мьюир Вудс. Вы увидите и посетите все основные достопримечательности территории залива Сан-Франциско, а также древние высокие секвойи, заплатив всего на 20% больше стоимости 3.5-часовой экскурсии.
Что входит в стоимость?
Местные налоги и бесплатный чартер из и до центра Сан-Франциско, Рыбацкого причала и близлежащих районов.
Что не входит в стоимость?
Питание, чаевые водителю (согласно традициям США составляет 15-20%), посещение непредусмотренных программой достопримечательностей и аттракционов.
В целях экономии времени мы не будем проезжать по мосту Голден Гейт во время экскурсии продолжительностью полдня, однако, данный пункт экскурсионной программы включен в план однодневного тура.

-91% от общей суммы будет возвращен на вашу кредитную карту, если вы отмените поездку не менее чем за 15 рабочих дней до даты тура (или предоставления услуги). Оставшиеся 9% покрывают банковскую комиссию – 4,5% за каждую операцию (непосредственно бронирование и возврат средств). (выходные и праздничные дни не учитываются). -50% от общей суммы будет возвращено, если тур отменен по крайней мере за 7 рабочих дней до запланированной даты тура или предоставления услуги. (выходные и праздничные дни не учитываются). -15% от общей суммы будет возвращено, если тур отменен не менее чем за 5 рабочих дней до запланированной даты тура (выходные и праздничные дни не учитываются). -0% от общей суммы будет возвращен, если тур отменен за 4 рабочих дня или менее до дня запланированного тура или предоставления услуги. В том числе, в случае неявки. (выходные и праздничные дни не учитываются) Обратите внимание, что при возврате денежных средств взимается банковская и агентская комиссия, которую мы оплачиваем компаниям-эмитентам кредитных карт, а также банкам и поставщикам услуг. Средний размер комиссии может составлять 3,9%-9,8% от общей суммы вашего платежа (транзакции) в зависимости от типа кредитной карты, которую вы используете при бронировании тура, эмитента кредитной карты, страны и сборов, которые мы оплачиваем с каждой операции. Во многих зарубежных странах взимаются дополнительные сборы за перевод и конверсию. Важно: Обратите внимание, что резервируя выбранные вами даты, мы отказываем другим клиентам. Мы готовим гида и роскошный автомобиль, делаем все необходимые бронирования для вас и вашего отдыха, поэтому, пожалуйста, не меняйте дату и не отменяйте тур в последнюю минуту.
– вы получите подтверждение бронирования и ваучер по электронной почте. Тур действителен только на конкретную дату, которую вы выбрали на нашем сайте, и для клиентов, указанных в бронировании. Вы не можете поменять имена путешественников или выбрать другую дату, поскольку у нас есть обязательства перед другими клиентами. Вы не можете изменить дату тура позднее чем за15 дней до даты бронирования. В целях соблюдения взятых на себя обязательств, мы оставляем за собой право сотрудничать с другими туроператорами, подрядчиками и / или нашими дочерними компаниями. Точное название и контактная информация вашего туроператора будут указаны в вашем туристическом ваучере, а подтверждение бронирования будет предоставлено после того, как мы получим вашу оплату. Все туры подтверждаются при условии наличия свободных дат, поскольку мы можем получить несколько запросов на тур одновременно. Одобрение платежа не гарантирует предоставления тура, если он не был подтвержден по электронной почте.
Обратите внимание, что мы не получаем каких-либо уведомлений в случае отклонения транзакции. Поэтому, ваше бронирование считается действительным только при условии получения письменного подтверждения от нас. Пожалуйста, незамедлительно свяжитесь с нами в случае отсутствия подтверждения и ваучера. Часто оплата откланяется банком клиента из-за несоответствия банковской информации (в частности, имени на кредитной карте, почтового индекса или почтового адреса) банковской информации, которую вы указали на нашем веб-сайте при бронировании. Иногда оплата отклоняется из-за недостатка средств. Ваш тур не будет подтвержден, пока оплата не будет одобрена вашим банком. Мы приносим извинения за неудобства, но таким образом ваш банк борется с мошенничеством и защищает информацию о вашей кредитной карте. Все наши туры предоставляются при условии наличия свободных дат, даже если оплата была одобрена. Мы свяжемся с вами в кратчайшие сроки и сообщим о доступности экскурсий на выбранные даты. Кроме того, все наши туры проводятся на английском языке, если иное не указано в электронном письме или ваучере, который мы отправим вам сразу же после подтверждения оплаты.
Мы оставляем за собой право предлагать замены или изменения в маршруте, турах или услугах в случае форс-мажоров, погодных условий, закрытия дорог, поломок транспортных средств, непредсказуемых обстоятельств, недоступности и / или бронирования в последнюю минуту. Мы не несем ответственности за задержки, вызванные авариями, непредвиденными обстоятельствами или событиями, состоянием дорог, погодными условиями и / или другими условиями, не зависящими от нас. Мы также не гарантируем прибытие или отправление из выбранной точки в определенное время по вышеизложенным соображениям. Тем не менее, мы сделаем все возможное для соблюдения выбранного маршрута и программы тура.
Мы приносим свои извинения, но наши автомобили не оборудованы для инвалидных колясок. В наших транспортных средствах нет места для инвалидной коляски. Разве что для очень маленькой складной инвалидной коляски. Тем не менее, основной проблемой для клиентов с ограниченными возможностями посадка и высадка из транспортного средства. Если у вас есть проблемы с передвижением, пожалуйста, рассмотрите возможность бронирования одного из других наших туров к секвойям, во время которых вы проедете по лесам и полюбуетесь секвойями, не выходя из автомобиля (например, Армстронг-Редвудс или Пойнт-Рейес).
Одежда:Пожалуйста, рассчитывайте на то, что погод будет меняться от прохладной до теплой, возможен туман и ветер. Дорожки и тропы могут быть скользкими, поэтому наденьте удобную походную обувь. Для детей и пожилых людей однодневный тур может быть утомительным, поэтому мы рекомендуем 2-д.невные туры.
Закрытие парков и иных объектов: Мы не несем ответственности за состояние дорог и погодные условия. Закрытие государственных и национальных парков может произойти в любое время и без предварительного уведомления из-за плохих дорог и погодных условий. Возврат средств не производится, независимо от причин, по которым мы не сможем достичь места назначения. Если вы отмените или приостановите тур по личным или медицинским причинам, возврат средств или изменение дат будет невозможно.
Язык туров: Наши туры проводятся на английском языке, если иное не указано в вашем ваучере. Тур на ином языке может потребовать дополнительной оплаты для покрытия заработной платы переводчика, которого мы можем нанять для проведения экскурсии с гидом на вашем языке.
Туристические агенты: Турагент обязан выплатить 20%, если их клиент не дал чаевых водителю или гиду. Нам требуется полное имя клиента и контактная информация от всех турагентов, иначе тур будет отменен. Турагенты также несут ответственность за все сверхурочные, неоплаченные клиентом (предоставление данных кредитной карты обязательно). Из-за высокой стоимости ведения бизнеса в Калифорнии, мы едва покрываем наши деловые расходы и заработную плату, поэтому мы не работаем за комиссию.
Чаевые: Как правило, чаевые могут варьироваться от 15% до 20% от общей суммы покупки, или это может быть фиксированная сумма, близкая к соответствующему проценту. Все зависит от ситуации и вашей щедрости, потому что без чаевых гиды не смогут нормально существовать в дорогом штате Калифорния, а без гидов мы не сможем вести этот бизнес. Спасибо за вашу щедрость и понимание.
Новые правила Мьюир-Вудс: Оказавшись в Национальном памятнике Мьюир-Вудс, вы обнаружите, что он стал менее многолюдным и даже очень мирным, потому что Мьюир-Вудс стал первым национальным парком, который требует предварительного бронирования со специальными разрешениями на коммерческую деятельность и парковку. Эти дополнительные расходы и в дополнение к сложному процессу бронирования отключают визажисты и туристические компании от посещения Мьюир Вудс. Никто не может посетить или получить доступ к Мьюир Вудс больше без предварительного бронирования и разрешений. Но не волнуйтесь, благодаря нашим частным экскурсиям и индивидуальным поездкам для небольших групп, мы позаботимся обо всех необходимых мероприятиях и предложим вам турпакет без лишних забот, однако мы зарезервируем и оплатим вашу парковку и разрешения в Muir Woods, однако ваши билеты в Muir Woods не включены в стоимость тура и будут оплачиваться вами (10 долларов США с человека, но могут снова возрасти).
Обратите внимание, что гидам не разрешается проводить экскурсии в Алькатрас и Мьюир-Вудс. Там вы будете гулять самостоятельно (в тюрьме Алькатрас предоставляют аудио-гид).
Кроме того, чтобы снизить стоимость, мы не включаем трансфер в отель после посещения Алькатрас, поэтому вы не платите сверхурочные и водитель не ждет вас во время посещения острова Алькатрас. Отели на Fisherman's Wharf находятся в нескольких минутах ходьбы от причала, откуда уходят паромы на Алькатрас. Общественный транспорт также достаточно доступен.
Билеты и туры в Алькатрас. Использование нашего онлайн календаря: к сожалению, онлайн календарь на нашем сайте не возможно обновлять ежедневно. Он включает все наши туры и доступен на более чем 10 различных языках, что увеличивает количество вариантов тура на 10! Когда билеты на Алькатрас распродаются, мы не можем просто заблокировать календарь на эти конкретные даты, поскольку в таком случае и остальные туры будут не доступны По этой причине мы изменили условия на нашем веб-сайте, недвусмысленно указав правила, касающиеся тура и билетов в Алькатрас:
- Все наши туры, включая туры на Алькатрас, предоставляются при условии наличия билетов, даже если оплата была проведена. Мы оставляем за собой право аннулировать или вернуть вашу оплату, если билеты в Алькатрас распроданы. От нас данная ситуация не зависит, поскольку единственный поставщик билетов в Алькатрас находится под контролем Службы национальных парков США.
- Бронировании тура в Алькатрас в горячий сезон, период праздников и уик-эндов должно осуществляться за 8 недель до планируемой даты. Горячий сезон подразумевает период с апреля по конец октября.
-Мы оставляем за собой право предложить альтернативный тур, если билетов в Алькатрас не будет в наличии. Если вам не подойдет наше предложение, мы просто вернем оплату, что может занять до 10 рабочих дней, как указано в разделе "Политика и условия возврата средств".
Распространенная ошибка, которую делают некоторые клиенты: когда билеты на Алькатрас распроданы, они отчаянно спешат забронировать тур в Алькатрас напрямую на нашем сайте, не ознакомившись с нашими условиями. К сожалению, мы не являемся поставщиком билетов и также просим бронировать тур за 8 недель до планируемой даты!
Заблуждение о частных турах: Мы хотим развенчать некое ложное представление о частных турах. Большие групповые туры на автобусах более экономичны для оператора, чем частные туры. По сути, расходы на частные и групповые одинаковы – в обоих случаях присутствует один водитель или экскурсовод, одно транспортное средство, одинаковая продолжительность поездки, одни и те же деловые расходы и стоимость страхования. Однако, частные туроператоры (например, мы) получают на 85% меньше прибыли, чем приносят автобусные туры. Мы работаем с небольшими группами (пары или семьи), в то время как обычный туроператор получает в 10 раз больше прибыли благодаря объему (количеству)! С другой стороны, мы уделяем особое внимание качеству, поскольку никогда не разделяем свои частные туры с другими клиентами. Тем не менее, несмотря на то, что мы предоставляем более качественный сервис и во многих случаях несем еще большие расходы, размер прибыли ограничен. Это делает некоторые из наших частных туров едва выгодными из-за растущей стоимости и расходов на ведение бизнеса в Калифорнии.
–Если вас укачивает в автомобиле, пожалуйста, попросите своего врача порекомендовать необходимое лекарство. Некоторые посетители недооценивают этот аспект и в конечном итоге посещают только 50% достопримечательностей, поскольку приходится делать чрезмерное количество остановок по пути.
– Подумайте о том, чтобы оставить ненужный багаж в отеле и путешествовать налегке. Это освободит место в автомобиле.
– Наденьте одежду и обувь, подходящие для прогулок и походов (в зимнее время года рекомендуем зимнюю обувь, а также купальник для купания в бассейне и джакузи).
– Возьмите солнцезащитный крем, спрей, дополнительные карты памяти и батареи для фотоаппарата (если нужно).
– Теплую одежду на случай более прохладной погоды и плащ для защиты от летних ливней.
– Пейте много воды на большой высоте и не отходите далеко от гида, так как мы предлагаем экскурсии с полным сопровождением.
– Мы не несем ответственности за травмы или несчастные случаи, которые могут произойти во время поездки. Пожалуйста, ознакомьтесь с нашими правилами и условиями для получения дополнительной информации.
– Будьте готовы к узким, крутым и извилистым пешеходными тропами на пути к секвойям.
Кроме того, будьте готовы к горному спуску, а затем подъему на автостоянку. Тропа очень крутая в начале, но по мере приближения к парковке становится более пологой. Все зависит от рощи, которую выберет ваш водитель, но подыматься придется в любом случае. Высота троп к обеим верхним рощам составляет около 6 200 футов (1860 метров). Самой популярной является роща Таолман, дорога к которой составляет около 2,5 мили (4 км) в оба конца и занимает около 1,5 - 2 часов. Она рекомендуется всем туристам, включая детей.
– Голд-Кантри в Калифорнии: когда Тиога-Пасс (соединяющая Йосемити и Восточную Сьерру, где проходит главная дорога, ведущая к Тахо) закрыта из-за сильных снегопадов, которые могут начаться уже в октябре и длиться до июня-июля, мы проедем через печально известную, но легендарную, Голд-Кантри в Калифорнии (2й или 3й день вашего приключения).
– Пожалуйста, обратите внимание, что сначала мы можем отправиться к озеру Тахо, а затем в национальный парк Йосемити или наоборот. Это будет зависеть от доступности отелей, сезона, погоды и дорожных условий. Мы не получаем комиссионных, поэтому вы можете забронировать отель сами, но если не хотите тратить свое время, мы можем позаботиться об этом за вас при условии приобретения тура с проживанием.
Hotel Reservation: чтобы снизить расходы, мы взимаем с каждого гостя всего около 100 долларов США за ночь, за трехзвездочный отель в районе долины Йосемити, при условии наличия свободных номеров. Тем не менее, если вы желаете разместиться в более высококлассном отеле, мы рекомендуем выбрать и забронировать его самостоятельно Отель Majestic (бывший Awhanhee) - единственный 4-звездочный отель в долине Йосемити, где стоимость номера в люксах может составлять от 600 до 1200 долларов за ночь в зависимости от наличия и сезона. Обратите внимание, что в Йосемити очень ограниченное количество отелей, и они часто распродаются за 6–12 месяцев до выбранных дат, поэтому чем раньше вы забронируете номер, тем лучше. Однако нам часто удается забронировать отель неподалеку от самой долины.
Язык туров: Наши туры проводятся на английском языке, если иное не указано в вашем ваучере. Тур на ином языке может потребовать дополнительной оплаты для покрытия заработной платы переводчика, которого мы можем нанять для проведения экскурсии с гидом на вашем языке. Если вы желаете, чтобы тур был проведен на ином языке, пожалуйста, бронируйте его заблаговременно.
Другие положения: Питание и чаевые для гидов / водителей не включены в стоимость тура, если они не указаны в вашем ваучере или электронном подтверждении. В стоимость тура не входит дополнительная плата, включая дегустацию вина, проживание и входные билеты для посещения достопримечательностей и мест, туры на винодельню, если иное не указано в ваучере или электронном подтверждении.

I have always wanted to go to Alcatraz Island with my wife, and we finally got to do it. I consulted the online reviews and decided to go with Golden Horizon Travel. We booked Yosemite 3-day tour , Silicon Valley and San Francisco tours through them; they exceed our expectations.
We took a tour with Golden Horizon as we got cancelled at last-minute by another company due to the lack of Alcatraz tickets, which we prepaid thru the interne, but, when we arrived at Fisherman's Wharf to embark the ferry, they had no reservations for us! Watch out when you book online and trust Golden Horizon reviews – they saved the day. You’ll not be disappointed.
We booked the Napa Valley and Alcatraz combo tour thru Golden Horizon tour, almost 2 months in advance, and we are so glad we did. It was so hard to find availability for Alcatraz night tour. Napa Valley is beautiful, and the wines are outstanding, but Alcatraz was our favorite experience.
Alcatraz and San Francisco combo tour is highly recommended. It’s super fun, informative and saves time. Great ride across the san Francisco bay, the ferry was crowded but it was cool. The walking tour with headphones is awesome and informative.
Unfortunately, we were not able to get same day tickets to Alcatraz Island, but our tour guide managed to get us night tickets to Alcatraz prison the next day. We were so lucky and grateful - we even booked 2 more tours with this company – they are the best! Alcatraz at night is a must-see attraction for all visitors. The rangers’ talk and the audio-walking guided tour complete each other.
San Francisco city tour and Alcatraz now require advanced booking, which we didn’t know. I’m so glad we found this company, they accommodated our last-minute request, and provided us with tickets to muir woods and Alcatraz… Leo is an amazing tour guide.
Alcatraz at night is a must-see activity while visiting San Francisco Bay Area. The now-abandoned maximum-security prison can be visited at night, and it’s much better than the day tour. Golden Horizon and Adam deserve 10 stars!
We recommend the San Francisco and Alcatraz tour package. We got to see the best places in the city and enjoyed a free afternoon walking tour at Alcatraz Island. The views of the city and the golden gate bridge from Alcatraz are spectacular.

I highly recommend this SF, Muir Woods and Marin County outdoor adventure with Golden Horizon Travel, even If you are in average physical shape. There are all kind of stops and easy hikes along offering 360 degrees breathtaking views.
Stop reading reviews and book with Golden Horizons. .... we highly recommend this tour company, their tour guides are passionate, fun and very knowledgeable. San Francisco is amazing city and Muir Woods is so beautiful and enjoyable. Highly recommend
My husband, daughters and my son , and I took a day tour of San Francisco, and second day adventure to Muir Woods and each with Adam to Muir Woods and Stinson Beach. Both trips exceed our expectations.
We purchased the combo tour through Alcatraz Tours since the date was sold out for the solo Alcatraz Tour. Adding the city tour and Angel Island was a great trip by ferry as it took us around Alcatraz Island and Angel Island. Alcatraz island is so beautiful! I loved the Alcatraz audio tour as well. The guided tour is extremely interesting and provided an accurate picture of the story of Alcatraz prison and inmates. It was a good length of time and we got a great deal of information without becoming too long and boring. I highly recommend this tour company ‘Alcatraz Tours Inc.’ When Alcatraz tour and prison tickets are sold out, they have a reserve of Alcatraz tickets on hold purchased in advance. Their private guided city tour is a 5-star experience and worth every penny.

Our travel agent in Veracruz Mexico booked the San Francisco tour package with hotel accommodation included. However, the online tour agency with which we originally booked our Alcatraz and Muir Woods package turned out to be a fraud, a fiasco, a company with little reliability, we were calling by phone and we have never been able to get through, they are locate overseas! Two days before leaving our country, our Alcatraz tours were canceled at the last minute and there was no way to get tickets for Alcatraz or any of the destinations because they were sold out.
Fortunately, we found this local company Golden Horizon Travel: www.goldenhorizontravel.com and this was the only tour operator that could help us with our last minute reservations, they provided us with excellent customer service and always responded promptly in Spanish, and they even assigned us a Spanish tour guide: our both excursions were totally private and in Spanish, our tour guides were incredible, very professional, attentive and cordial and the best of all is that the agency also got us the tickets to visit Alcatraz Island and also for the Redwoods Muir Woods Park despite this last-minute booking. We also took advantage and went to Sonoma Valley and Marín County with them. This Company offers best tours and many options to choose from for all travelers; they are very professional, and they go out of their way to offer to please their customers. All the other websites we found were resellers or fake or they were not even located in California, none of them bothered to answer our phone calls or emails, and neither did they offer guided tours in Spanish. MY best advice for everyone, look for Local Operators and avoid websites and companies that are not in San Francisco! This Tour Operator is underrated and deserves more credit for their excellent customer service. 100% WORTH THE MONEY & HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We waited 2 weeks to review to be sure we weren't still dreaming. It was that great a time with Golden Horizon, starting with a full day in San Francisco with Mary, a native of The City, so we really experienced S.F. Then with Adam for 3 days to Monterey and Carmel, including somehow a front-row seat next to the 18th green during a PGA event a Pebble Beach without passes. He taught us to be great actors! A dream picture op for this golf fan. Then Leo took us to the coast beyond Big Sur, including a tour of Hearst Castle, then for 3 plus days in Yosemite and across the Sierras and back to S.F. All this during a stretch rare in CA of perfect weather when "Carl" never showed up. (They name the fog "Carl"). These folks couldn't have been more knowledgeable or considerate, especially getting us to every place we gave them on a considerable agenda before we even met them on day one. We saw and did far more than we expected, and they went well beyond the schedule hours every day. If this reads over-the-top, it's because our experience was way over-the-top. They certainly exceeded our expectations, just as they said they would, and we are so glad we traveled with Golden Horizon.

Our private tour with Mary was the absolute highlight of our time in San Francisco. We were really able to see and enjoy so much of the city. Mary was so knowledgeable and insightful, and by the end of our day together she felt like a new friend. The tour delivered even more than we had expected and was a truly memorable experience. Your city is lovely, and Mary is a gem! We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and will be sure to use Golden Horizons again when we return to the area.

Patricia was fantastic. She provided the most fantastic tour I've ever taken. We loved listening to her Irish accent, and she knows San Francisco inside and out. Patricia went out of her way to show us everything we wanted to see. She also takes great pictures. You won't be disappointed. We also had a great Napa and Sonoma wine tour with Jon. Golden Horizon does a great job.

My wife and I went on a half-day tour of San Francisco. Our tour guide was Patricia. She was extremely nice to us and very knowledgeable. Her passion for the city was obvious. We had a great time, learned a lot, and got some awesome recommendations for dinning.
We took a morning SF city tour with Tom. Best choice we could have made for our first day! He made sure to stop at all of the major sights, giving us a lot of "insider" information about each place. He was very flexible, allowing us to take extra time at some vistas, and take extra pictures at others. Great combination of driving and exploring - so much to see that a 1/2-day tour is the way to go to get a flavor of what to visit more in-depth another day. Highly Recommended and Well worth the price!

We had Patricia as our guide to show us San Francisco in an SUV. Patricia was chatty, knowledgeable, very friendly and interested in the tour.

We had a great time with our guide, Patricia, she was not only very knowledgeable but she made a real effort to make every moment special and she was good fun, running over by 30 minutes to make sure we didn’t miss anything.

There isn't enough words to describe what a great tour we had! Tom was AMAZING. He was professional, knowledgeable and extremely passionate about the city and making sure the tour was everything we wanted. He made the tour personal to us, after finding out my Husband is military he made sure we knew about the military history etc. Throughout the planning process the company was great, always responded to my emails, even when we changed our hotel last minute, it was no problem and Tom was there with a huge warm greeting!!! Thank you again Tom and Golden Horizons tours, My husband is often deployed and we have rare opportunities to have a mini vacation and you made our day thank you thank you!!!!!

Without any hesitation I recommend Golden Horizon Travel to all! My family's amazing day/tour with our guide, Adam, to wine country was 5+ out of 5!! He arranged perfect tastings for our family, taking into account the varied interests of the four of us. It's obvious he is passionate about his work, which certainly shows not only in how he handles situations but his interactions with us as well. Knowledgeable he is! We appreciated how he so freely, casually shared and explained to educate us. And, we appreciated the spur of the moment short, side trips that enhanced our memorable day. This was my favorite day of our San Francisco vacation. Adam put a smile not only on my face, but also in my heart. We were blessed to share the hours with him!!! Thanks, Linda

Jon was a FIVE STAR guide! And, his all-day private SUV tour of San Francisco, Muir Woods, & Sausalito was a FIVE STAR tour all the way! The best I can remember anywhere, and that's saying something, considering all we've done all over the world…Jon keeps an ongoing narrative about EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE. He's brilliant. We could listen to that voice all day. And, one would never imagine he had a care in the world outside bringing his client the most memorable experience possible. We will never forget your most EXCELLENT tour! Nor your company. Nor Jon, for that matter. Thank you VERY much for that day.

We had a 12 hour wait until our next flight in San Francisco. We arrived early in the morning, went first to Alcatraz and after that the tour guide, Anton, from GHT came and picked us up by the Pier. We had booked the city tour and learned SO much, and saw so many things, places, and views! Anton was VERY knowledgably, so we kinda' felt we were on a tour with "google. We definitely recommend GHT, you will not be disappointed!

We booked a San Francisco/Alcatraz private tour, we were picked up exactly on time in a squeaky-clean SUV by Patricia, a wonderful Irish Lass. She was very knowledgeable of San Francisco and we hit all the major sites. If we had a special request, she graciously accommodated... I am a prisoner to your company, if we return, I will definitely book with you again, we tried one other company and there was No Comparison for the individualized custom service received with your company-5 STARS!

My wife and I joined our two traveling companions on two custom half-day tours with Golden Horizon and our fab Kiwi guide, Jon. On day 1, after our arrival on a Princess cruise ship, we did a full city tour, ending with Jon dropping us off for a night-time visit to Alcatraz. We were greeted bright and early the next morning for day 2, which included Muir Woods and Sausalito and areas around the Golden Gate Bridge. All in all, the experience was fabulous...& highly recommend GHT!

One advantage you have with the SUV tour is that you get to drive on Lombard St where tour buses are not allowed. Jon also took us right under the Golden Gate bridge where no other tourists were around. Thanks so much for a great experience!

San Fran is amazing by night! You got to so it with Mary who was our driver and we are SO HAPPY we got her! She took us around to some neighborhoods; this was essential to experience authentic areas of San Francisco by night. The views were breathtaking at night! She was our photographer and storyteller. Thank you so much Mary and to Golden Tours for matching us up with such a FAB lady! :)
We were very pleased with our night tour; the city of San Francisco is totally amazing at night. Height-Ashbury, North Beach, Twin Peaks and Treasure Island are a must-do at night.

Our private tour with Mary was EXCELLENT and FUN!!! Mary drove us around in San Francisco and told us about history and contemporary "fun knowing". She is grown up in SF and had great knowledge. Before the trip, our kids complained that 4 hours were too long, but when the tour was over they thought the 4 hours went too fast.
It was a perfect start to our SF stay that covered the entire SF and we learned a lot and we had fun. . My partner did not have a ticket to Alcatraz but Mary managed with the impossible to find a ticket in the ferry zone, which we appreciated a lot !! Going on a tour with Mary was optimal! Comfortable car, only we in the car, very personal. Since Mary knew Sweden and Finland meant that we clicked fine from the very firts moment!!

Alcatraz was fascinating and Golden Horizon was able to accommodate us with tickets on short notice due to a cancellation. Our full day private driving tour of San Francisco with Tom was totally delightful. Not only was Tom, our guide, fully informed about the nuances of the city history but a terrific conversationalist providing a very relaxed and pleasant day. AND, he dropped us at a local Dim Sum café for an excellent and very reasonable lunch. We would recommend the entire experience as a 5-star excellent time.
ECMSKCedar Park, Texas
We had a blast on this tour and Mary was a terrific tour guide! We got to see nearly everything we wanted to see in San Francisco in one day - without having to plan a route or drive amongst the locals. Mary is a San Francisco native and is extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. Having the tour guide handle the Alcatraz tickets is another nice perk that will make your visit to San Francisco that more stress-free. Be sure to let her know if you like "Star Wars" - she will have an awesome, unlisted stop waiting for you!

The wife and I took two private tours the first was San Francisco/Alcatraz and the second was Muir Woods/Sausalito. Our tour guide Jon had a wealth of knowledge of the history of San Francisco as well as Muir Woods and Alcatraz. Our whole experience was awesome! we were allowed to make the changes we wanted to, which was great it gave us more time in Muir Woods as well as the other places that we wanted to see. It was a wonderful surprise when Jon took us to a couple of places that were not on the itinerary. I would highly recommend any of the tours we took as well as any others Golden Horizon has to offer as I'm sure they are just as wonderful. I know that if we are ever back in the area, we will certainty use this service again. Thank you for the great experience.

I booked the 1/2 day San Francisco tour including tickets to Alcatraz. That morning, Mary met my husband and I in the lobby of our hotel. She was already waiting for us when we came out of the elevator a little early! Picked us up in a spotlessly clean black suburban. We toured the city in style, so thankful Mary is a great driver because I would have hated for my husband to have to maneuver through that madness! By the time the tour was over we had learned so much history we would have never learned on our own. Mary is a local, and her stories really added to the tour. Before she left us at the ferry to Alcatraz she gave us our tickets along with a wealth of information to help us finish our trip successfully. We missed her and talked about her for the rest of our trip!

Took a city tour of San Francisco which ended with a trip to Alcatraz. Mary was a wonderful guide, picked us up promptly at our hotel in a clean, comfortable Explorer. Saw much of San Francisco that we would not have been able to see without a car and got much background information. The tour is not cheap, but one is well cared for. Worth it.

Alcatraz island prison was on our bucket list before we even traveled to California, we wanted to go there so badly, and we did, we are so glad we took the time to visit Alcatraz island. Alcatraz prison may seem morbid and awkward because of all the sad and morbid stories of solitary confinement we all heard and read here or there, but more you learn about it from the audio guided tour, more get inserted in the story of Alcatraz solitary confinements, the infamous escape from Alcatraz, and learn the story of the prison and about the inmates from the officers own perspective. I highly recommend the combination Alcatraz island and San Francisco city tour, you don’t have to worry about how to get Alcatraz tickets and how to get there, these guys are very professionals and made our trip very enjoyable.

We traveled from San José, Costa Rica to San Francisco in California to visit Alcatraz Island and Yosemite National Park. Initially, we could not find a specialized tour guide in Spanish to take us to Yosemite park and to see the giant sequoias. But thank God we found this tour company. We were lucky as they also had tickets to Alcatraz Island at night, even though it was sold out everywhere else they managed to secure our booking for the nigh tour the same day. What a great surprise to discover that the booking agent of the company spoke fluently Spanish, she was very friendly and helpful. Not only did she get us a private tour of Yosemite in Spanish with a bilingual guide, but she also managed to get us Alcatraz tickets for the night tour at a last-minute. That was totally unexpected and super cool. We cannot thank you enough for your excellent customer service and for making the extra effort to get book Alcatraz tickets for us despite this short notice. The night tour of Alcatraz is a bit “spooky”, but very interesting, the US park rangers accommodated us with only a small number of visitors, guided us through the prison and provided a lot of historical information about Alcatraz prison and famous prisoners like Al Capone, as well as the story about the escape from Alcatraz” El misterio de la fuga de Alcatraz”.

We booked our Alcatraz night trip with Alcatraz tours in February, but we were not visiting San Francisco until late May. This was the right thing to do as all Alcatraz night tours got sold out in March! The ferry trip to Alcatraz island was quite nice and took us less than 20 minutes to reach Alcatraz island. We really enjoyed this night excursion of the prison. No, it was not creepy at all. Dress appropriately/ bring layers - it gets cold and foggy out there.

My wife and I booked our Alcatraz prison tickets online through this tour company, combined with a trip to Napa Valley wineries. We love beer, but we wanted to try some wines for a change. So, we tasted great deal of red and white wines in Napa wine country. Then, we drove back to San Francisco and got dropped off at Pier 33 to take the ferry to Alcatraz island. Alcatraz night tour was on our bucket-list before we even travelled to California, we were so excited when they dropped us off at Alcatraz ferry lines. The night tour boat departed from the dock at 3:50pm. We enjoyed great views of the city of San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge as we were sailing to Alcatraz island. Once at the island, US park rangers split visitors into groups and started the night guided tour at different times. If you have difficulty walking up hills, they have a tram you can ride both ways at no extra cost. The narration of the self-guided tour is really informative and exciting. We highly recommend Alcatraz prison night tour to all travelers. The only thing I didn’t like is that many sections of Alcatraz island are closed to the public at night unlike the day tour. That’s why they only allow one group per night, I guess they want to they keep it under control. Use this tour company, you won’t be disappointed.

We booked the night tour with Alcatraz Tours, and that was an excellent tour experience. Really well organized and informative. We learned a lot about Alcatraz prison on the night tour, and I can thoroughly recommend Alcatraz night tour even for families with kids. Wear comfortable flat walking shoes and extra layers as it gets chilly on the island, and I also recommend a flashlight and an extra charger for your smart phone. That’s was an excellent trip for the whole family and worth the money and time.
My wife and I really enjoyed our night guided tour of Alcatraz prison with the local tour guide who was a volunteer. The ferry ride was quick and smooth offering nice views of the San Francisco skyline and bridges. US park rangers were very helpful, engaging and informative and the audio guided tour was a good experience.
Tampa Bay, FL
Wonderful night tour experience with lots of history and interesting stories. Alcatraz prison is not like any other jail where inmates could escape from so easily. We realized how hard it must have been to get out of ‘The Rock’ and still wondering how those 3 guys escaped Alcatraz at night! It’s like a ‘fairy tale’, spooky but in a good way… the pace of the tour was just right and well done.
Our Muir Woods & Alcatraz combo tour was exactly what we needed as we only had one day in San Francisco before we traveled to Napa Valley for a wedding we were invited to. The tour is well worth the money that you spend. The big redwood trees in Muir Woods forest are impressive but the forest was a bit crowded as well as Alcatraz island. However, this combo tour must be on everyone’s bucket-list. Both places are very popular and worth the money. I would recommend starting the tour early to visit the redwoods and beat the bus tours and large crowds. This way you get to enjoy peace and quality time in Muir Woods before it gets too busy.
Alcatraz prison is a former maximum-security prison located on Alcatraz Island, but the island is much smaller than we through. The trip by ferry took us about 20 minutes from the Fisherman’s Wharf to the island. I recommend Alcatraz electric carts for those who can’t walk uphill. My grandmother couldn’t walk all the way up to the prison, but their electric cart was very convenient for her. We took more time in the prison and returned to the Fisherman’s Wharf in late afternoon. We also enjoyed the Fisherman’s Wharf souvenir shops, seafoods restaurants and got to see the seals there. I recommended in this tourist area after Alcatraz tour.

Whether you live in San Francisco Bay Area or visiting San Francisco from the US or overseas, this day trip is a must-do for all ages and even for folks with mobility issues. Alcatraz island and prison are one of the most handicap accessible tours and places I've ever been on. Alcatraz guided tour is amazing. Yet, it can be a little confusing unless you follow the guided trail step by step. The ferry ride to Alcatraz island offers beautiful views of San Francisco downtown, the islands in the bay like Angel island, Treasure island and bridges like the Golden Gate bridge. Be on time for the ferry departure or you get turned away as they only allow the exact time and departure stated on each ticket. Alcatraz tickets are so valuable and hard to find, we were lucky we got a last-minute cancellation from Alcatraz Tours, otherwise we would have missed out on the best attraction in California. Many visitors show up at last minute by the ferry terminal looking for tickets and willing to pay any price to get their hands-on tickets to Alcatraz, but these rare tickets and get sold out weeks and months in advance.
Definitely a 5-star experience for this Alcatraz and redwoods combo tour. Our tour guide drove us away from Muir Woods traffic jams to a small forest of redwoods in Marin County. We were the only one a roaming through these tall and towering redwoods. It was so nice to enjoy nature without putting up with traffic and a horde of people pushing and shoving like in Muir Woods. I’ve been there, and I honestly prefer these alternative groves of redwoods we went to visit in Marin county. This tour company and tour guide are highly recommended.

This day trip to Alcatraz island is awesome regardless how foggy the bay area can be. We got to Pier 33 on time, and the tour guide took care of our Alcatraz tickets. We didn’t have to worry about parking or reservation, as he showed us around before we embarked on the ferry to Alcatraz prison. There is a good self-guided audio tour of the cells and we could hear the guards and inmates’ voices in the background. It’s like living the experience and getting the feel of how this morbid and remote federal prison operated. Don’t forget to pick up the headphones as you enter the prison on top of the hill. My mom can’t walk so we hopped on the so called “SEAT” electric tram (Sustainable Easy Access Transport). Alcatraz island is a national park - there are park rangers on hand who help visitors with all kinds of information. I recommend that you book this redwood and Alcatraz excursion in advance. We had a hard time to find ferry tickets to Alcatraz until we landed on this website www.alcatraztoursf.com. Their combo tour is worth the money and saved us the hassle and stress. The operator was very helpful, and their tour guide was knowledgeable and professional, yet very funny. He adjusted the tour to our kid’s mood and crankiness. Don’t go to Muir Woods forest. I heard terrible things about this overcrowded place. Let this tour company take you to this hidden forest of redwoods somewhere nearby San Francisco in Marin Count. I can’t remember the name of this redwood forest, but we were the only ones there when we got there, the trees are massive and impressive, plus the landscape is picturesque. Last, get inline early to Alcatraz ferry terminal so you can get the best seat in the house on the third floor!

Our Muir Woods and Alcatraz combo tour was exactly what we needed as we only had one day in San Fran. The tour was well organized, and we certainly got our money's worth … Muir woods national monument definitely worth a detour. This remote park of big redwoods is very beautiful and a fantastic option for families with young children. I recommend this combo tour of Alcatraz and redwoods. It is worth the money and saves a lot of hassle and worries, as both places require special permits and advanced reservations.

This is a great alternative tour experience when Alcatraz tickets are sold out. We were disappointed as we didn’t manage to get Alcatraz tickets. Next time, we will anticipate and book Alcatraz tickets in advance. We were happy with this trip, as it combined our city private tour and the ferry cruise around Alcatraz island. We managed to get to see the city top attractions in a half-day tour, and that was the perfect way to do it. The cruise ship trip was over an hour, a trip that took us in the San Francisco bay, around Alcatraz Island, and under the Golden Gate Bridge. We had a trip the next day to Hearst Castle with this tour company, and it was our last day in California. We had a blast in Big Sur, and we enjoyed Hearst castle tour very much. It was a long day trip, but well worth it.

Alcatraz Island tour is outstanding, and the prison is a stunning place. This is my favorite attraction in San Francisco Bay Area. Book your Alcatraz ferry tickets in advance, as these valuable tickets get sold out weeks and months in advance, we booked our Alcatraz tickets two months in advance. Tour companies are obviously not allowed to sell Alcatraz tickets individually anymore, so we had to book Alcatraz prison tickets combined with a city tour. Our tour guide, Jonathan, was amazing and fun. We highly recommend this hassle-free combo tour. It’s fun, informative and exciting and worth every penny. I got to say, the energy and the impression you get when vising Alcatraz is something you need to experience for yourself.

From the city tour to Alcatraz Island, we and our kids had an amazing adventure. It is a bit cold in San Francisco Bay in summer ironically. But were very interested in the criminology and forensic stories of Alcatraz and San Quintin prison like Charles Manson, the Zodiac, Fong “Little Pete” Ching, Zebra killers, Felix Mitchell, the Unabomber, Scott Peterson, and Clarence and John Anglin and Frank Morris and their famous ‘Escape from Alcatraz’. Wow! the feeling visitors get when stepping onto Alcatraz island from the ferry boat is quite eerie and a bit creepy, I know, but very exciting and interesting.
Book your Alcatraz tickets months in advance before you travel to San Francisco. This is a must-see tourist attraction when visiting San Francisco and Northern California. A police officer from South Africa, who traveled with us on Alcatraz ferry, had a stop-over at SFO international airport. He joined us just to visit Alcatraz prison, and we had fun together. Dress in layers. Ironically summer is not warm in San Francisco Bay, as weather is cool and gets foggy in the Bay. The views of Alcatraz from San Francisco are spectacular. This combo tour is a must-do and it saved us time and money. Thank you, Mary. You are a great tour guided and very funny - our kids loved your jokes and stories about Alcatraz prison and San Francisco neighborhood.

Alcatraz prison is just as portrayed in the Hollywood films about Frank Morris (a movie starring Clint Eastwood) about Alcatraz maximum-security prison. The cell as seen in the Clint Eastwood movie “Escape from Alcatraz” is still preserved. No trip to San Francisco is complete without visiting Alcatraz Island. It took me 2 tours to Alcatraz before I felt the strong atmosphere and energy you get after stepping off Alcatraz cruises ferry and onto the dock. This city tour combined with Alcatraz is an exceptional combo trip, I recommend for all visitors.

We were lucky to find availability for the Alcatraz tour. We booked this all-inclusive San Francisco guided tour combined with Alcatraz as a tour package. It was a worry-free reservation all included, and the perfect way to indulge in San Francisco if you have limited time. It was a convenient, affordable, and fulfilling combo trip of the city top attractions and a self-guided tour of Alcatraz prison. A must-do when visiting the City by the Bay, and worth every penny you spend. Our tour guide drove us up to the Alcatraz ferry terminal, redeemed our Alcatraz tour voucher and issues our ferry tickets. We had an extra 45 minutes before the ferry departure, so we had a quick snack at Alcatraz cafe at Pier 33, be prepared before you embark on Alcatraz ferry, no grocery or food service is available on Alcatraz!

This is an incredible tourist attraction of San Francisco Bay area. If you plan on visiting San Francisco you got to add Alcatraz prison tour to your bucket-list, more than Muir Woods or Napa. Alcatraz Island history itself is a very interesting story, before it was ever used as a federal prison. How anyone could even escape from this remote Island and maximum-security prison? The audio headphone guided tour is informative, the stories and sounds of prison officers makes the guided tour so real and the story comes to live. I took amazing pictures to show my friends in Japan. This trip is wonderful and recommended even for solo travelers like myself.

This was our first visit to California and San Francisco. We did a city tour with this tour company and found out how hard it was to get Alcatraz ticket., Luckily, our tour guide Patricia, who was so professional and friendly, called the company and arranged last-minute tickets for us to visit Alcatraz Island. The experience lived up to our expectations and the reviews we had read about Alcatraz tours turned out to be so true. We recommend this combo tour to all families with kids like us, who have no time to scan through all these websites out there looking for ticket’s availability. This is a very serious and professional tour company, and they exceeded our expectations
Marcoad58@santander.es
Book your Alcatraz tickets immediately when you plan your trip to San Fran. We had initially planned to book Alcatraz Island night tour, but it’s impossible to get due to limited availability. The day tour to Alcatraz was not bad at all. The fascinating story of Alcatraz prison is phenomenal, and the city tour completed this package trip. That’s was a good company to work with from the moment we booked on their website to the day of the trip. And their tour guides are fun and professional.
Dan025@vact025
Don’t waste your time looking for Alcatraz tickets and availability. Book with this local tour company, and you will not be disappointed. We booked the full day San Francisco city tour by SUV. The city tour exceeded our expectations and our tour guide, Pat, certainly delivered. Superb service and highly recommended, you’ll be in good hands. We recommend the private city tour where you can stop anywhere you want and visit the monument or neighborhood of your choice were bus tours are restricted. We also recommend Alcatraz audio guide to explore this former jail. It’s fun and informative.

Reserve Alcatraz tickets in advance, this tour was so much better than I was expecting. You get a ferry ride from San Francisco Pier 33 to the Alcatraz island and then you get to visit Alcatraz former prison. It was rainy and foggy that day, but still well worth the trip. The trip was very well run, and we were welcomed in the dock by a ranger who let us know some key information and rules before visiting the prison. Don’t forget to grab something to eat before heading to Alcatraz, as there is no food service on the island. You can stay as long as you want on Alcatraz island, but don’t miss the last ferry. I think they have like one ferry every 30 minutes. Alcatraz had a reputation for being the toughest prison in the country. How did all these top criminals like Al Capone survive it? I recommend doing the audio guided tour twice, if you have time. It’s so informative, but too much information can be a bit overwhelming for first time visitors.

Why everybody is so crazy about Alcatraz prison tour? Alcatraz Island is dim, cold, morbid, and crowded. We felt nothing, seen nothing, heard nothing that made it so appealing to our group, a bit overrated in our opinion. Why have criminals become victims and stars? They deserved to be incarcerated in Alcatraz prison! Some visitors were even asking for autographs from a former inmate of Alcatraz who was there that day, but this makes no sense to me. But I can understand some visitors who are interested in criminology. I’m giving a 4-star review not for Alcatraz tours but for the city experience with our tour guide Alan. He made our city tour very exciting and fun. He was very accommodating and attentive to our needs. He stopped the car half-way day down on Lombard street to take photographs of us in the middle of the street and took us to visit the fortune cookies in Chinatown. That was fun! I also recommend stopping at the ferry building, this is a great place for the foodies and wine lovers, and we had a great time there.

Alcatraz Island is an incredible tourist attraction. We did the tour with our kids, and they loved it too. The audio tour was well done, we took tons of pictures, hanged out and enjoyed the views of the city from Alcatraz Island. The views are spectacular from Alcatraz island. Go to the officers’ garden side that overlooks the Golden Gate bridge but watch out for the old steps. They are very steep and have no guards. Army officers’ spouses who were stationed on the Island in the early 1900s, planted all kinds of vegetables there (The beauty on the beast). We skipped some places while touring the city so we could take our kids to visit California Academy of Sciences located in the Golden Gate park. This museum is very underrated. They got a World-class Aquarium, planetarium, and natural history Museum. The guided tour inside and on the existing roof appeals to all ages, and it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it for families with young kids.

This was a very interesting tour we took to Alcatraz Island. We had all heard of Alcatraz and had some sketchy knowledge of its history. However, they have done a really good job of telling the real, non-Hollywood, history of the island prison. This tour company is well organized – everything from the city guided tour to the lines waiting to get on the ferry, embarking and disembarking, and setting up the visitors with audio tour headsets. You have an assigned time to leave on the ferry, but the return to the mainland is at your leisure. The self-guiding audio tour was well done, and you can move at your own pace. This can help you avoid pockets of crowds. While there are parts of the island closed to the public, you pretty much have free reign to wander and explore the public areas at your own pace.
It is a bit of hike up the road to the entrance to the prison and beginning of the tour. There are also steps to maneuver once inside. This could be problematic for those with mobility issues. They do have a shuttle or tram that can take visitors up and back down. So, the tour can accommodate most visitors, even if some areas would not be accessible.
Definitely worth the visit. Consider booking this San Francisco and Alcatraz prison combo tour. It only takes a couple of hours after the city tour and is an interesting spot to visit. Thank you, Alcatraz Tours, and many thanks to our tour guide Victor. You guys are so passionate and knowledgeable. I am very glad we didn’t book with the other websites who sell tours all over the world. They have nothing local and so messy with no customer service.
We recommend your company and tour guides.

I have been to San Francisco many times but never went to Alcatraz. This was a VERY IMPRESSIVE experience! Everyone should do it once. We booked Alcatraz and UC Berkeley Campus combo tour with our kids. It was a very well organized and worry-free combo tour, all included. Berkeley is a beautiful city and the University of California is an amazing place to visit... Alcatraz tour itself is a bucket-list destination which I can recommend to all visitors. Alcatraz prison audio self-guided tour really offers lots of detail about the prison, who was housed there and the overall history of Alcatraz ‘The Rock’. We actually met the author of a book who was once incarcerated at Alcatraz during the escape and breakout. Very, very interesting.
Need to get tickets well in advance! The hike up the hill is pretty steep, but if you take your time, anyone can do it.
I Highly recommend this combo tour for families with kids!
Cruiseships-fl@sunfl56.fl
We can now check Alcatraz tour off our bucket-list :-) Yeah, we recommend this combo adventure of Alcatraz and city tour. We had nothing to worry about, we got picked up at our hotel, did the city private tour, and Alcatraz prison self-guided tour. Worth every penny.

This is a must do when visiting San Francisco Bay area. It begins with a custom city tour of San Francisco top sights and places all included...then followed by the ferry ride to the island, which offers exceptional views of the Bay, the Golden Gate, and the SFO skyline. Would advise you to line up early to board the ferry to get good seats. Once you reach the island, after a brief introduction, you are free to roam the island. My advice would be to go straight to the top for the audio tour, which is the best part of the experience. The tour is awesome, and you learn so much about the prison life. Once you are done with that, you can walk around to other places like the gardens and the industries. Be careful with the return ferry, as the lines are usually very long to get on. Enjoy the views while coming back as well.
Alcatraz tickets are often sold out weeks in advance. We were lucky that these guys accommodated us with our last-minute booking...this is a reliable local tour company and highly recommended.

Even though the wooded trails were a bit wet for us to ride due to the fog, the experience was amazing, and we all enjoyed it very much. The horses looked happy, well cared for, and these were some of the best-behaved horses we’ve ever interacted with. The staff was very friendly. It didn’t take us too long to reach a laid-back beach, so peaceful and beautiful.
After the horseback ride, our fun and very nice tour guide drove us to Santa Cruz where we had lunch in a restaurant located on the Wharf. We ordered a seafood platter which was fresh and yummy, and the views made it the perfect location for our family.
For me personally, the highlight of our trip was our tour of a beautiful forest of big redwood trees in Santa Cruz mountains. I’ve been to Muir Woods before, but this state park was less crowded than Muir Woods and the redwood trees are much bigger and older in Santa Cruz mountains.
On the way back to our hotel in San Francisco, the tour guide made a quick stop at Apple’s new headquarter in Silicon Valley. We visited the visitor center and the store (while our son was sneaking out to fly his drone over Apple’s new and amazing architecture “it looks like a spaceship from the sky”.)
We highly recommend this outdoor adventure and this business.

My husband and I decided to book the combo tour of Alcatraz and city for our parents and in laws. We were a group of 7 persons, and our local tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Booking a private SUV tour versus the public bus tour is the ideal way to see 4-times more sights and attractions than the bus tour option, and you get out as often as you want to visit places like Lombard street, the painted ladies, china beach, fort Miley, mission murals... we had lots of fun. San Francisco is a beautiful city and Alcatraz island prison tour is a must-see for everyone. This tour company was the only provider who had Alcatraz tickets available as all other tour companies we called were sold out. Alcatraz prison tickets are so hard to get, so watch out and ensure you do book them in advance. Also, be sure to eat before you get on Alcatraz ferry as there was no food available on Alcatraz island.
Bring extra layers and expect fog and wind in the middle of the San Francisco bay.

We recently visited Alcatraz Island prison with our 4-year-old son. He was not bored and loved the ferry ride and was running inside and outside Alcatraz prison like we never seen him before. My husband is a police officer and he loved this tour. We recommend Alcatraz tour for all ages.

We got desperate as we couldn’t get our hand on Alcatraz tickets. Alcatraz Island tour and ferry tickets were sold out when we tried to book them online (6 weeks in advance). We tried every tour company in San Fran, but no luck. Until we landed on www.alcatraztoursf.com and they made our day. We couldn’t believe it.
We had to book a combo tour to get our hand on Alcatraz prison tickets, so we signed up for a horseback ride on the beach. It took place in Half- Moon Bay, and although it was a cool day it was worth it. The scenery along the Pacific Coast Highway is breathtaking.
This tour company is very reliable, and their tour guide Mary was amazing! We felt like we had a friend in town - it was more than a tour - a real and fun experience. She even drove us through the Golden Gate Park, and we stopped for a snack and beer tasting at the Beach Chalet, an ocean front restaurant with stunning view of ocean and the beach.

We were lucky to find and book this all-inclusive San Francisco / Alcatraz tour package. It was a worry-free reservation and turned out to be the perfect way to indulge in San Francisco (we had little time on our hands...). This day trip to Alcatraz was a convenient, affordable, and fulfilling combo tour - a must-do when visiting the City by the Bay.
The private city tour covered quiet a lot of places we could have never managed to find on our own, and we stopped almost everywhere along the way... worth every penny we spent.
We wanted to cover 2 iconic places during our stay at a VRBO near San Francisco. Alcatraz island and Stanford University were on our list, and we did just that. This Alcatraz prison and Silicon Valley was a short-day trip and was a very good fit for us and our tight schedule. Our sons get bored quickly with long day tours, but they were rather interested in both places. The guided tour we had at Stanford was totally private and we were transported in a golf cart as my husband is a Vet and was injured in Iraq. This was the ideal way to cover as much as possible of Stanford huge campus and without walking a lot . Both tours boosted our teens’ motivation and they started asking more question afterwards.
This combo package worth the money and highly recommended
We visited Apple’s new campus, and the so-called Apple ‘spaceship’ architecture is amazing. The visitor center is well designed, and we had a guided tour with an Apple employee on site. We also visited google, Palo Alto and Stanford. I wish we had the whole day, but we had to head back to San Francisco to get there on time for our Alcatraz prison tour, which was the highlight of our day adventure.
Highly recommended

We were picked up by Pat, a nice Irish lady and a wonderful tour guide. She drove us through Mill Valley where we stopped for breakfast before we visited Muir Woods - a peaceful small forest with big and towering redwood trees. The trail through Muir Woods is flat and easy, and there are paved paths for those wanting a casual stroll or more challenging trails. We did both trails along the creek, and our kids had no problem with the twisty paths and stairs although towering redwood trees.
After Muir Woods, we had a lunch break at Stinson Beach, which was a great place for a picnic lunch. We enjoyed the delicious fish tacos we ordered, everything was very fresh and sourced locally from Marin county. Near Stinson beach is Bolinas, where we and our kids went on horseback riding in the forest. I’m glad it was only an hour; we could not take more than that as this was our first horseback riding experience.
That was an unforgettable family adventure in Marin county.
Thank you, Pat, for the good memories.
This half-day private tour to Muir Woods was the perfect way to spend the morning away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and without traveling too far. Muir Woods is definitely worth the trip. Never pass on the opportunity to visit Muir Woods national monument if you are ever in the San Francisco Bay area. The park is less crowded in the morning, and we were very lucky and enjoyed it before it got busy. All in all, a very quiet and wonderful experience.
Our tour guide made this trip even more enjoyable as she took us to have a snack at Stinson Beach. The road is scenic and offers breathtaking views along the coast.
We found out the hard way that Muir Woods park service has started implementing a new and paid reservation system, in addition to the park entrance fees ($15 per person). We tried to park our rental car there, but the park ranger in front of the gate very rudely turned us away and told us to get out... and book online. The parking there is now for tour companies and commercial use only and requires special permits which sucks.
Anyway, since there is no cell phone service at Muir Woods, we had to drive back to Sausalito, and park our rental car there. We were glad to get hold of this tour company who accommodated us with such last-minute booking and picked us up in Sausalito.
We finally managed to visit Muir Woods in the late afternoon, and that was for the best. The forest was almost empty, and it was definitely more peaceful. I recommend this company and Adam, our very nice tour guide. He made us feel very comfortable and we forgot our bad experience earlier with the US park rangers.
Definitely, do plan your visit to Muir Woods and book in advance!
What a fantastic air-tour experience in a seaplane we had in the San Francisco Bay area! The pilot is super cool, experienced and very friendly. This was a jaw-dropping experience as where flying over the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, with a bird's-eye view of Alcatraz Island. Everything looks so different from the sky. We also enjoyed our tour of Alcatraz prison very much. This was a great trip and well put together tour package. We highly recommend this combo tour of Alcatraz and seaplane adventure to anyone. Absolutely worth every single penny.

Book your tickets immediately! We had initially planned to book the night tour but it’s hard to get tickets for Alcatraz night tour. The day tour was not bad at all. Apart from the fascinating story of Alcatraz, the trip to the island is phenomenal and the city tour completed the package tour and it’s very interesting.
This is an incredible tourist attraction. We did the tour with our kids, and they loved it too. The audio tour was well done, we took tons of photos and enjoyed the views of the city from Alcatraz Island. The views from Alcatraz are spectacular.
Definitely! pre-book your Alcatraz tickets well in advance. You can't go to San Francisco and not go to Alcatraz prison! A combination trip to Alcatraz and the city is a bonus and saves time. The tour was so much better than I was expecting. We hopped on Alcatraz ferry from San Francisco Pier 33, and once there, we were welcomed on the dock of Alcatraz island by a park ranger who let us know some key information and rules before visiting the prison. The prison is old and dingy, but it’s very interesting, and we loved the audio tour.
What a fabulous way to spend the day in California wine country and Alcatraz island. The driver, Leo, was an expert tour guide with a fun and outgoing personality. He made us feel so comfortable from the first minute we met him the lobby of our hotel. The SUV is luxurious and clean and allowed us access to places not allowed to van tours or large vehicles. He even started the day by driving us through Lombard street - a beautiful neighborhood with gorgeous flowers. We also made a stop at the Golden Gate bridge on the way to the Napa Valley.
This tour company has a distinguished relationship with excellent wineries in Napa Valley. We managed to visit 2 small wineries located off-the-beaten-path, that are not open to group and bus tours. We had a walking tour inside the cellars and cave, and we ended up with a food and wine paring experience. This is the best way to learn how wine is made and how to taste the wine and pair it with right food. This private tour is the best way to go. You get to avoid commercial wineries and bus tours if you are looking for quality time. It was not cheap but worth every penny.
When we got back to the San Francisco, we could barely see Alcatraz island due to dense fog which is obviously very common in the summer. The ferry ride to the island was fun and short. Alcatraz prison audio tour is a must and highly recommended. This was best tour and tour guide we ever had. He exceeded our expectations.
We booked this 2-day tour package through Alcatraz Tours. On day one, we visited San Francisco and Alcatraz, and on day 2 we spend most of the day in Sonoma county where we visited a wild safari park.
We got there around 10 am, and the safari tour guide walked us first around the main area by the entrance where exotic birds and wild the animals could be seen and approached. Some animals loved to pose for close-ups, especially the monkeys, giraffes and flamingos. After 45 minutes walking tour, we drove in a double decker safari style jeep. This was a great experience for our kids. We have never seen them so excited. The entire jeep tour was about 3 hours or so and we saw everything from monkeys, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, bob cats, flamingos, giraffes and even parrots. Our family loved this safari adventure, and this is a great getaway for family with kids and highly recommended.
After the safari tour, we had lunch in Napa, and our passionate tour guide drove us to the Jelly Belly beans factory. This was the perfect way to end this day trip. Many thanks to our amazing tour guide, Buddy, he is the best!
From the beginning to the end, everyone we met was awesome - from our fun and wonderful tour guide, Mary to the hot-air balloon pilot himself (Jason). A top-notch tour company and pilot. They made us feel very safe and comfortable before the lift-off and when we landed.
After the balloon ride, we had a delicious champagne breakfast with the pilot and his friendly crew and our tour guide. We also visited Opus One winery and then drove back to San Francisco to visit Alcatraz. We got there 30 minutes before the ferry departed to Alcatraz.
We do recommend this combo adventure to everyone without any hesitation, even if you don’t like to wake up early. This was an awesome experience and a bucket-list adventure. This was by far the best travel experience we ever had!
This is great tour experience when Alcatraz tickets are sold. We were disappointed as we didn’t manage to get our hand on Alcatraz tickets. We were happy though with this combo trip as we got visit San Francisco’s famous landmarks and top places we wanted to see.
Really liked the Bay cruise tour - it’s a great opportunity for photos of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate bridge. We got lucky with the weather, and we walked to Pier 39 to see the sea lions - a very cool place but it was crowded.
Went on the Alcatraz prison night tour to get a feel of the real atmosphere of Alcatraz prison at night. It was okay but not so unique as many stated in reviews. I personally prefer the day tour. Alcatraz night tour is creepy, spooky. Well, but not so scary if you have kids.
Mi esposo y yo decidimos reservar el combo Alcatraz y el recorrido por la ciudad para nuestra familia, éramos un grupo de 7 personas, nuestro guía fue increíble y muy conocedor de la ciudad. Reservar un tour en SUV nos permitió pasar por todos los lugares para tomar fotos sin tener que caminar, nos divertimos mucho. San Francisco es una ciudad hermosa y debes visitar la isla de Alcatraz de todas maneras.

Prisión de Alcatraz es como se ve en las películas de Hollywood , todo viaje a San Francisco debe incluir no solamente la calle de Lombard y el puente de Golden Gate m también vale la pena recorrer cada vecindario de la ciudad, hay tanto que ver y conocer en San Francisco que necesitas varios días para poder verla toda, pero si no dispones de mucho tiempo al menos el tour de la ciudad de 1 día es suficiente, al otro dia puedes combinar Alcatraz con un paseo por redwoods.
Mila Reyes
Esta es una increíble atracción turística de San Francisco, solo una empresa tiene la autorización para llevar turistas a Alcatraz, tuvimos la suerte de haber conseguido los tickets, era fin de semana y había mucha gente haciendo cola para conseguir tickets, pero sin éxito. Todo estaba agotado para las próximas 3 semanas. Nuestra agencia reservó el tour de la ciudad con Alcatraz todo incluido, y nosotros no tuvimos que preocuparnos de nada.

Мы заказывали поездки к Тахо и в Йосемити из Силиконовой долины. Мы с сыном провели отличное время с нашим говорящим на япоснком языке гидом
Мы с коллегами путешествовали из Гон-Конга в Сан-Хосе, и были в восторге от Тахо.
Озеро нетронутое, прекрасное, такое чистое, воздух такой свежий и чистый. Поистине рай на земле.
Тахо и Йосемити – это драгоценность Калифорнии. Там много развлечений для всей семьи
Даже если вы не фанат активного отдыха, посещение Тахо стоит долгой дороги из Сан-Франциско. Это просто must-see место с крутой инфраструктурой
Благодаря профессионалам и крутому гиду от Golden Horizon Travel, наша поездка к Тахо и в Рино прошла незабываемо
Наш 3-дневный частный тур на о.Тахо, Голд-Кантри и в Йосемити прошел незабываемо и очень круто!
Отличные три дня на озере Тахо по нашей программе с посещением Йосемити – нереальные места.
Отзывы на трипедвайзер на 100% ссоответствуют действительности. Мы были в восторге. Чудесный сервис и крутые гиды
Йосемити и о. Тахо – это что-то невероятное. Очень рекомендую этот пакетный тур семьям с детьми. Ребята превзошли наши ожидания.
