    This tour is likely to sell out! The Alcatraz daily ticket allotment regularly fills up weeks in advance, so book early to avoid disappointment.

    Alcatraz admission:
    Board the ferry to Alcatraz at Pier 33 on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Enjoy the scenic ride across San Francisco Bay to Alcatraz Island, and disembark to start your independent tour of this island prison. Put on your provided headset to listen to the award-winning audio tour, “Doing Time,” and learn about notorious criminals like Al Capone who were incarcerated here. Hear about escape attempts from 'The Rock,' and listen to commentary from former inmates and staff.

    Muir Woods and Sausalito:
    Cross the Golden Gate Bridge and travel north to Muir Woods National Monument for your exploration of the giant coastal redwood trees. This old-growth forest is home to some of the planet’s oldest and tallest trees, which you can admire in all their glory as you walk along shady paths.

    Then head to Sausalito, a picturesque small town just north of the Golden Gate Bridge that sits between the Marin Headlands and San Francisco Bay. You have leisure time here to walk along the waterfront, maybe purchase a snack (own expense) or perhaps shop in the galleries and boutiques.

    NOTE: Due to schedule limitations with Muir Woods, there is a chance that this tour will be held on two separate days. You will be informed prior if your Muir Woods visit will be held on a different day from your Alcatraz visit.

    I had emails confirming trip time had changed to 06.30am start which at the time we felt was annoying. However we are grateful that it was, as we got to Muir Wood really early and had it pretty much to ourselves for an hour, the peace and quiet and the beauty was truly magnificent. As we were leaving several bus loads of school kids, 4 or 5 other tour groups and even a wedding party had arrived! I can't imagine the noise and hustle bustle that place was now to endure, so glad we were the first ones there. Sausalito was beautiful as well and a lovely place to wonder round. Alcatraz was just as expected and ticked all the boxes and Grey line had a guy waiting for us to make sure we had our tickets to get on the ferry. I would definitely recommend this trip. E&S
