Early Access to Alcatraz and Cable Car Tour

Get a head start on your day to enjoy more of your San Francisco sightseeing! Departing at 7:45am from Union Square, hop aboard a one-of-a-kind cable car bus. Converted from an authentic San Francisco cable car, this wheeled vehicle exudes the old-world charm of a classic cable car but gives you the freedom go anywhere and everywhere, not just along the tracks.

Explore Chinatown and North Beach on your way to Pier 33 and enjoy a light breakfast on board. When you arrive, you'll be escorted onto the first ferry to Alcatraz. The early-bird ferry to Alcatraz is not sold anywhere else, so you get priority entrance to this world-renowned historic attraction!

Leaving the hassle of big crowds behind, explore the prison grounds independently while enjoying the award-winning audio tour, which leads you on an immersive journey into the prison's intriguing past. Featuring life-like sound effects and real interviews from former inmates and cell guards, this tour lets you discover what life was like here for history's most notorious criminals, such as Machine Gun Kelly and Al Capone.

After your tour, take the 11am ferry back to Pier 33. Hop back on the cable car bus with your guide and head to Boudin Bakery, a famous San Francisco-based bakery and restaurant. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the bread-making process to see how they make their famous sourdough French bread, and pick up your lunch to take with you on the cable car bus.

Enjoy unobstructed views of iconic neighborhoods, Victorian houses and stunning San Francisco Bay as you cruise up and down the city's many hills. Because your wheeled cable car is unrestricted by wires and tracks, you'll get to cross the Golden Gate Bridge! Feel the wind in your hair as you travel along this world-renowned landmark, stopping for 15 minutes to capture great photos of this iconic landmark at Vista Point.

Then, enjoy a scenic ride back to Union Square, arriving around 2pm.
