San Francisco: North Beach Guided Tour + Alcatraz Island Entry + Roundtrip Ferry
About this experience
Your North Beach walking tour starts at Washington Square Park, the city’s first public park. Learn about its role after the 1906 earthquake and fire, and admire the vintage lampposts and Coit Tower in the distance.
You will also visit Saints Peter and Paul Church to see its Italian marble altar and hear about its connection to Joe DiMaggio. As you walk through the colorful streets of San Francisco’s Little Italy, enjoy views of Lombard Street and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Then visit Pier 39, where you can see the sea lions. Afterward, your guide will take you to the departure point for your cruise to Alcatraz.
On Alcatraz Island, you can tour the prison with an included audio guide, visit the gardens, and explore the exhibits. You can return at a time that suits you.
You can also upgrade your experience to include a ride on the SkyStar Wheel or a bay cruise for additional views of the city and surrounding area.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
