Itinerary

• 1
  Fisherman’s Wharf

  We start where the old fishing boats are docked... Where the Italian-American fishing history, DiMaggio's Restaurant, and The Bushman have all come and gone.

  10 minutes • Admission ticket free
• 2

  We take a small detour out to get some nice cityscape and back-of-the-wharf views, while seeing and learning about the Fisherman's Chapel and Scoma's - renowned old-school Italian restaurant that's always in style.

  5 minutes • Admission ticket free
• 3
  Fisherman’s Wharf

  We double back past our starting point and stop by the iconic ship's wheel sign marking the heart of the area along with the steamed crab vendors and more classic Italian seafood restaurants.

  5 minutes • Admission ticket free
• 4
  Musee Mecanique

  This fun spot has "one of the world's largest privately-owned collections of coin-operated mechanical musical instruments and antique arcade artifacts." We stop long enough for you to play a game or two, so that you'll want to come back later!

  10 minutes • Admission ticket included
• 5
  USS Pampanito

  We'll make another slight detour to stroll on by this historic WWII submarine.

  Admission ticket free
• 6
  Boudin at the Wharf

  Then we take a zig zag to let you see and smell the original and world-famous San Francisco sourdough. If you want to pick up a loaf, we'll ask that you only do so if the store is not too crowded (which it often is). Or simply plan on coming back!

  2 minutes • Admission ticket free

  Historical Landmark

  Admission ticket free
• 8

  At the outer edge of Pier 39, we make another multi-sensory detour -- to see, hear, and smell! the California sea lions.

  10 minutes • Admission ticket free
• 9
  Pier 39

  As "the premiere entertainment destination" at the Wharf, Pier 39 has all kinds of restaurants, shops, and family attractions - including a carousel, street performer shows, a mirror maze and a lot more... We end the tour here - just a 5 minute walk to Pier 33. You'll have time for a quick lunch, or you may want to come back here or another Wharf spot for a less hurried meal.

  1 hour • Admission ticket free
• 10
  Pier 33

  You will walk on your own from Pier 39 to Pier 33, Alcatraz Landing. We typically have late date Alcatraz departures, so you should have plenty of time for sightseeing and/or lunch before heading to Pier 33. Be on time (30 minutes early) to take the ferry out to Alcatraz!

  30 minutes • Admission ticket included
• 11
  Alcatraz Island

  Once it is time for your Alcatraz trip, the round trip ferry & tour of the island (including going inside the prison with the award winning audio tour) typically takes 3 hours. Your pace may be a bit faster or slower, which could shorten or lengthen your stay, as boats return from the island every 30 minutes.

  3 hours • Admission ticket included
