12.Alcatraz Early Morning Access Tour with Lunch Credit

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 52 reviews · from $40Best value

Meet at Pier 33 for a ferry to Alcatraz, where you explore the Cellhouse with its included audio tour. Your departure time is assigned between 8:50 a.m. and noon. Back at Fisherman’s Wharf, use a $15, same-day credit at a selected food vendor. The booking is capped at 14 people, but the island visit is self-guided.

“The trip experience ( getting to the island and sightseeing part ) was great. The only part that was mildly disappointing was the food credit. I wish the credit could have been used at Boudins bakery instead of the more upscale Bistro. The Bistro had only a few items that would have covered the 15.00 pp meal ( small soup was 13.95, side salad was 12.95 ) pretty much everything else was very $$$. I ended up paying 54.00 after the discount for 3 people + an 18.00 tip. Total out of pocket was 71.51.”
