Victorian hillside homes, Union Square, the Transamerica Pyramid – San Francisco's full of iconic imagery. And that's even before Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge are mentioned. You'll get to see them all on this half-day tour of the city, and best of all, you'll also spend some time on the infamous Alcatraz.

Locked away a mile off-shore, high tides battering the island, and formerly filled with some of America's most notorious criminals including Al Capone and “Machine Gun” Kelly – it's no wonder why Alcatraz rouses such interest. Take an in-depth tour of the prison's cells with an audio guide, and enjoy the views of San Francisco from afar.

You'll also see Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, and Land's End (where you'll find one of the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge there is). From city to sea, you'll see all the essentials.
