Alcatraz Island + 48-Hour Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Combo

San Francisco's two most-asked-about products bundled into one ticket: a visit to Alcatraz Island plus 48 hours of unlimited rides on the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus. The bestselling combination for first-time visitors, designed so you don't have to think about either piece of it separately. Alcatraz is the centerpiece. The ferry crosses the Bay from Pier 33 to the island, where a self-guided audio tour through the cell house tells the story of the federal penitentiary — Al Capone, the escape attempts, daily life on the Rock — in the voices of guards and inmates who were actually there. Plan two to three hours on the island. The hop-on hop-off bus covers everything else. Two full days of unlimited rides between Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Chinatown, North Beach, the Painted Ladies, Golden Gate Park, and a Golden Gate Bridge viewpoint loop. Hop off at whatever interests you, hop back on when you're ready. The bus narration adds context on the neighborhoods as you go. Highlights: • Alcatraz Island ferry and cell-house audio tour • 48 hours of unlimited hop-on hop-off bus access • Coverage of all the SF must-sees • Booked-ahead Alcatraz timing (the island routinely sells out weeks in advance) Good to know: Alcatraz tickets are time-stamped — your ferry slot is fixed at booking, but the bus is yours to use for 48 hours either side. Comfortable walking shoes essential; the island has uneven paths and stairs. Bring a jacket for the ferry ride.
