Alcatraz Island Ticket with Chinatown Tour & Cable Car Ride

We’ll meet out near the landing for Alcatraz ferries and give you two separate tickets. One is your Alcatraz ticket which gets you to the island, and entitles you to an Alcatraz audio tour once you arrive. You can use the other to take a ride on the most famous of San Francisco’s historic cable car lines. Our local guide will give you a few tips on the best stops to use in order to avoid the long lines and get the best views of the city.

After giving you a few tips on where to eat after your Alcatraz tour, we'll leave you to enjoy your experience. On your return, we'll invite you on an introductory Chinatown Tour, which we have designed to immerse you in the neighborhood's unique history and culture - and to give you a few reasons to come back later!

Starting near the Dragon’s Gate, we’ll explore the vestiges of the old neighborhood, when it was a seedy red-light district full of brothels and opium dens, stopping at landmarks such as Waverly Place, Portsmouth Square, and St. Mary’s Cathedral. Our Chinatown Tour also visits a traditional apothecary, tempts your taste buds at some of the city’s best bakeries, and even lets you taste a fresh fortune cookie (a San Francisco invention) at the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory. Before you go, we’ll discuss the eight great cuisines of China and where you can eat them, along with some of our favorite places for dim sum.
