Your morning Alcatraz and afternoon Muir Woods adventure starts daily in Fisherman's Wharf at 8:00 AM. This combo ticket also includes a visit to the infamous Alcatraz Island. Once considered the prison of American prisons, Alcatraz is a must-see in San Francisco. The fantastic Alcatraz combo ticket allows you guaranteed entry onto the Alcatraz Ferry and the official Alcatraz Island tour. Alcatraz and history go hand in hand. Once home to some of America's most notorious criminals, the federal penitentiary that operated here from 1934 to 1963 brought a dark mystique to The Rock. The tour includes ferry access to and from the Island and a complimentary, award-winning audio tour available in 8 different languages.
You will arrive at Muir Woods National Monument where you will be provided with your park entry ticket and have 1.5 hours to self-explore the park. With more than 50 miles of trails branching out in all directions, you can choose to stroll peacefully across the shaded, paved pathway on the valley floor or tackle a more rigorous hike along the hillside.
Complete your experience with a scenic drive through the coastal mountains on the Marin Headlands and Sausalito. Enjoy sweeping views of the San Francisco Skyline and the Pacific Coast as you cross the Golden Gate and return to Fisherman's Wharf. You can choose to end your tour in Sausalito to eat and shop and take the ferry back at your own expense.

Review summary
Amazing tour - with a wonderful guide
My husband, son and I had a wonderful day, visiting Alcatraz and Muir Woods ending up in Sausolito. Alcatraz was very interesting and at the same time scary, Muir woods was beautiful and peaceful, and yes Sausolito where we also stayed during our trip is jus at very cosy village. Our guide did a very good job. Told us lots of facts and lots of funny stories too. His name was Guillermo Madrigal - go with him if you can;-))

Overpriced but only way to go to Alcatraz on short notice.
The voucher that we received was a bit misleading as it said we had to be there by 8:30, but our tour to Alcatraz didn't start until 10:30. Our tour to Muir Woods was supposed to start at 2:00, which did not give us much time for the tour of Alcatraz including the ferry wait time, getting back to the meeting point, etc. Sausalito was only 20 minutes which was also not made clear on the voucher. Also the bus driver was about a half hour late going to Muir Woods.
