In Golden Gate Park, you can see seasonal flowers, look for bison, and spot windmills over the Pacific. You can also learn about the city's history, from its Native American roots to the gold rush and the Barbary Coast. In the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, you can admire the Victorian homes.
After the city tour, you'll be dropped off at Pier 33 for your Alcatraz adventure. Alcatraz Island is a must-see in San Francisco. Your visit includes a cellular audio tour and a round-trip boat ride to the island. Stay as long as you like, but remember to catch the last ferry back.
