San Francisco Alcatraz and Lombard Street Tour

Make the most of your time in San Francisco with this exciting tour that blends sightseeing with one of our most iconic landmarks, Alcatraz Island.
Your morning kicks off at Dylan's Tours Shop in Little Italy, where you’ll board a open air vehicle for a 2 hour guided tour through San Francisco. You’ll explore the city’s vibrant neighborhoods and take in stunning views of landmarks like Lombard Street, the Palace of Fine Arts and the Golden Gate Bridge.

After your city tour, we’ll conveniently drop you off at Pier 33 around 12:00 PM, giving you time to grab a quick snack before boarding your 1:00 PM ferry to Alcatraz. Make sure to check in by 12:30 PM at the main ticket booth with a valid ID to claim your official ticket.
