Full description

Explore San Francisco by bike and visit Alcatraz with this ticket for two tours over the course of two days. Take the ferry to Alcatraz Prison and uncover the prison's secrets on an audio tour. Enjoy a cycling tour to locations like Fisherman’s Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Cross San Francisco Bay on a journey to the notorious Alcatraz Prison by ferry. This world-famous prison served as a federal penitentiary from 1934 to 1963 and housed infamous criminals like Al Capone and Robert Stroud, the Birdman. Take the award-winning 45-minute Cellhouse audio tour and hear the tales of those who lived in Alcatraz. This tour brings history alive through the recounting of tales from correctional officers and prisoners. Your bike tour will take place the next day at 10:00 AM. Set off from Fisherman’s Wharf and enjoy a leisurely cycle for around 3 hours. You’ll be fitted out with a current model bike, front handlebar bag, lock, helmet, rear gear rack, and takeaway map – and then you’ll be ready to head out on tour! Follow the San Francisco waterfront with your guide, past Aquatic Park, Fort Mason, the Marina, and the Presidio, through Crissy Field and to Fort Point. Cross the Golden Gate Bridge on a wide bike path, and then proceed to Vista Point and on to Old Fort Baker. The cycling tour comes to an end in Sausalito where you’ll have time to enjoy the shops, the many art galleries, and the delicious food. You can return to San Francisco right after the tour ends, or you may keep the bike until closing hours and enjoy additional time exploring this fascinating area on your own.

Awesome tour! Going across the GG bridge was exhilarating. 3 steep hills to climb on way to the bridge. Not a trip for beginners or out of shape people unless you want to walk a lot. Great to be able to take ferry back and keep bike all day. Scott was our guide. Very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend doing this.

Reservations worked well. We upgraded to E-bikes for GGB and went to Sausalito and back on bikes- highly recommend. Bay City Bicycle staff apathetic and not friendly, although we didn’t participate in the tour as we preferred a later reservation. They didn’t offer to help fit helmets, adjust seat height, offer directions. I know enough already but surprised nonetheless. Alcatraz was good. Overall, would recommend and Get your guide organized well

I have done Alcatraz and it was amazing experience. I cannot believe how close it is to the mainland. It is hard to believe that was people’s homes and the staff & family with children lived there too. The boat transfer was great nice & easy no problems all round defo ya must if you have never done it!!
