From San Francisco: Alcatraz Night Tour, Muir Woods and Wine
Make your way to Pier 33 in San Francisco on the first day and start with a narrated boat tour around Alcatraz Island, leading up to a guided “Doing Time: The Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour” from the dock to the main prison building. Experience special programs and presentations available at night.
