Description

Discover San Francisco - a city known for a vintage feel, innovative cuisine, gorgeous scenery, public art, diverse cultures, daily unique happenings, and the inescapable Alcatraz Island!

Fogcutter Tours crafts one four-hour adventure to capture the essence of San Francisco each morning. Each day is built just for the small group and unique goings on in the City that day. The itinerary is open - the tour always stops at San Francisco's classic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Twin Peaks. It typically rolls through neighborhoods like North Beach, Pacific Heights, Haight-Ashbury, Castro, and the Embarcadero.

The tour may also leave the big buses behind may explore street-art alleys in the Mission, mosaic stairways in the Sunset, the laid-back vibe of the Presidio, Beaux-Arts City Hall, famous "Painted Ladies" at Alamo Square. And go down the real crookedest street in San Francisco (not Lombard). It all depends on what's best just that day.

There is no food service on Alcatraz or at the ferry. Midway through, you'll stop at a local market where the group can get a quick lunch and do some local people watching.

At the end of the city tour, you'll be dropped off at the Alcatraz ferry landing. There your ferry tickets to "the Rock" will be waiting for you. Explore the island at your leisure (most guests take two to three hours) and return on any of several ferries back to the City. From there, you can explore Pier 39 and the Fisherman's Wharf area and return to your hotel on foot, by taxi/rideshare, or by cable car.
