Description

A half-day of discovery awaits on this fascinating tour that introduces you to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and the "The Rock," the infamous prison on Alcatraz Island. Begin with a motorcoach drive along the Embarcadero, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. Stop at Vista Point, the northern part of the Golden Gate Bridge, to photograph its magnitude and grace. Continue your tour as you enjoy a scenic drive past Fisherman's Wharf, en route to the Alcatraz Ferry. Upon arriving on "The Rock," a national-park ranger will provide an introduction to the prison. Then, set off on a self-guided audio tour through the jail's spooky facilities. On your tour, you can step into the small cells, snap a few photos and view a documentary on the history of Alcatraz. At the conclusion of the tour, take the ferry back to Alcatraz Landing, located on the next pier to your ship.
