10 Best Alcatraz Tours: What to Know, How to Get Sold-Out Tickets & More

20 Best Alcatraz Tours | Tickets for Alcatraz last minute

Our picks for the 10 best Alcatraz tours in San Francisco, so you can enjoy the most popular sight in the city and spend less time planning.

Alcatraz is arguably one of the most famous landmarks in or around San Francisco. Getting to the infamous former prison can be tricky. There’s only one company allowed to bring travelers to the island — Alcatraz City Cruises.

During the height of busy tour season, from around April through October, tickets to Alcatraz sell out. Fast. We’re talking *months* in advance.

The good news is that even though there’s only one company bringing people to Alcatraz Island — tour companies around San Francisco have official partnerships with Alcatraz City Cruises. This means, even if Alcatraz City Cruises has sold-out tickets to Alcatraz, there are San Francisco tours that bundle Alcatraz tickets!

We want to share with you our picks for the 10 best Alcatraz Tours and the San Francisco tour companies that offer official Alcatraz tickets with their Muir Woods tours and San Francisco tours. AKA the best way to get sold out Alcatraz tickets!

These are the 10 Best Alcatraz Tours

*Know before you book

It is important to note that Alcatraz City Cruises requires San Francisco tour companies to provide the names of all travelers over 18, ten days before the tour. Unfortunately, this means that day-of tickets or next-day tickets to Alcatraz will not be available.

There are also no private Alcatraz tours available because Alcatraz hours are limited to the official ferry times with Alcatraz City Cruises.

#1 Dylan’s 1-Day Alcatraz Experience

Tickets: $179 for adults, $119 for children 12 and younger
Duration of the tour: 10 hours (this includes the trip to Alcatraz)
TripAdvisor reviews: 5 stars

This is Dylan’s signature tour for travelers who want to see San Francisco in one day. Traveling with Dylan’s on the 1-Day Alcatraz Experience means exploring with a company with the most 5-star reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, and Yelp.

We are reliable, honest, and guarantee to have your Alcatraz tickets (even when official Alcatraz tickets sold out already) — as well as over an hour in Muir Woods and lunch along Sausalito’s waterfront.

We might be a bit biased, but we think this is a pretty ideal option for the best San Francisco bus tour company to go with what’s affiliated with Alcatraz City Cruises. We also offer San Francisco Private Tours, which allows you to set a custom route through the entire Bay Area!

Ever heard of a sister company? Well SF Excursions is Dylan’s’ brother company. As in, it’s Dylan’s brother Brendan who runs SF Excursions!

Just like the founder of Dylan’s, Brendan is a San Francisco native showing off his hometown and Alcatraz all in one Ultimate Day with their Alcatraz combo tickets. They also offer a tour that is combined with Muir Woods, but it does not include Alcatraz, so we won’t discuss it in this blog. You can definitely check it out on the website!

Both of the tours include a trip to Alcatraz. With the San Francisco City Tour + Alcatraz Tour, you will start your day with the Official Alcatraz Island Tour. After the tour, SF Excursions picks you up outside the Alcatraz ferry terminal to take you on a 90-minute tour of San Francisco. The tour includes a photo stop and a local guide!

The Alcatraz + 3-hour San Francisco City Tour starts with a tour through the city. This includes 11 different locations and photo stops. It features all of SF Excursions’ favorite neighborhoods! After the city tour, they will drop you off at the location where you will board the early afternoon ferry to join the Official Alcatraz Island Tour.

#3 Early access to Alcatraz and exclusive cable car sightseeing tour by Hornblower Classic Cable Cars

Tickets: $192.50 for anyone 12 and older, $152.50 for children 5 through 11
Duration of the tour: 7 hours (this includes the trip to Alcatraz)
TripAdvisor reviews: 4.5 stars

Did you know you can explore San Francisco on trolley tours made from modified cable cars? Back in the 1950s, cable cars from the California line were being auctioned off when a local San Franciscan purchased one of them. That cable car was converted into a motorized vehicle. This created the first cable car tour ever!

With Hornblower Classic Cable Cars (one of the best hop-on/hop-off tours in San Francisco) you can get an Alcatraz combo tour with one of their trolley tours for a unique San Francisco tour.

You start your day touring Alcatraz before all of the heavy crowds arrive on the island. You will have two hours to explore and tour the island. After lunch on pier 33 you will board the Hornblower trolley to start the city tour. The tour includes a professional guide and three stops with photo opportunities. Around 3:15 pm they will bring you back to the location where you started your tour.

#4 “Fogcutter” Tour with Alcatraz by SF Adventure Tours

A post shared by Fogcutter Tours (@fogcutter_tours)

Tickets: $180 for adults, $122 for kids and $67 for tots
Duration of the tour: 4 hours (this does not include the trip to Alcatraz)
TripAdvisor reviews: 5 stars

You can now combine their open-air tour with Alcatraz Island tours. You will start your day with a four-hour tour through San Francisco. Continue the adventure with a visit to Alcatraz Island.

It’s not just us who think SF Adventures has one of the best tours in town, just check out their Alcatraz tours TripAdvisor reviews and you’ll see that it’s highly rated as one of the best Alcatraz tour combo packages!

#5 San Francisco City and Alcatraz Combo by Vantigo

Tickets: $129 for adults, $75 for kids 5 to 11
Duration of the tour: 7 hours (this includes the trip to Alcatraz)
TripAdvisor reviews: 5 stars

What happens when someone with a passion for tinkering on vintage VW combines that with a passion for meeting new people? Vantigo is what happens!

These beautifully restored VWs can go where bigger tour buses cannot — Coit Tower, the Painted Ladies at Alamo Square, Golden Gate Park and the Sutro Bath Ruins. On the way, they will share the tales that shaped the San Francisco we know today.

They’re a great option to go with if Alcatraz sold out already on the official website and you want a 60s-themed (aka very San Francisco) tour of the city.

NOTE: This tour is updated 2 to 3 months in advance based on Alcatraz City Cruises releasing Tickets at that pace.

#6 Alcatraz and Touch of Gold Combo by Bay Voyager

Tickets: $155 per person
Duration of the tour: 90 minutes (this does not include the trip to Alcatraz)
TripAdvisor reviews: 5 stars

TripAdvisor’s #1 Bay Tour in San Francisco! Explore the San Francisco Bay up close and personal in the water on a 28-footer RIB (rigid inflatable boat) with Bay Voyager.

Seriously, this is such a unique experience — and it looks like it could be a part of a ride at Great America! This just might be one of the most unique Alcatraz combo tours out there, and one of the best Alcatraz tours for those who want more of an adventure.

You’ll start with a 90-minute Bay Voyager excursion where you will explore The Ferry Building, Presidio, and past The Golden Gate Bridge and Pier 39. After this part of the tour, you will head over for a separate guided Alcatraz tour.

NOTE: for reservations, a minimum of 4 days advance notice is required.

#7 Alcatraz and Wine Country Tours by Green Dream Tours

Tickets: $179 for those 21+, $159 for 20 and under
Duration of the tour: 10 hours (this includes the trip to Alcatraz)
TripAdvisor reviews: 4,5 stars

Green Dream Tours is kind of like if Dylan’s did Wine Country tours. They have local guides leading tours on minibuses. You’ll discover two wineries in Sonoma and enjoy lunch in Fisherman’s Wharf before being dropped off for your Alcatraz ferry.

If you’re looking for Alcatraz combination tours that get you exploring outside of the city as well as Alcatraz, this is the perfect option.

Tips on getting last-minute Alcatraz tickets

We’re convinced that going through an official Alcatraz partner is the best way of getting sold out tickets to Alcatraz. We can’t, in good conscience, suggest going through a scalper. The National Park Service takes illegally reselling Alcatraz tickets very seriously.

Rest assured though, all Alcatraz tickets combined with San Francisco tours with the companies we’ve listed above are all official and legitimate tickets to Alcatraz. That being said — even these San Francisco tours will sell out. The best way to get Alcatraz tickets is to get them as soon as you can!

Canceled Tickets

When Alcatraz tickets combined with San Francisco tours are also sold out, you can check for canceled tickets. People used to be able to get same-day tickets by waiting in line in the early mornings but that has changed. Canceled tickets are added back to the online ticket sales on alcatrazcruises.com. These tickets get updated several times a day, so keep checking for the days you want.

Night Tickets

Another way of getting last-minute tickets are the Night Tour standby tickets. During the high season, there are two evening sailings running out to the island. There will be tickets for the same evening’s tour for sale at the ticket office at Pier 33. They have about 20 standbys for sale in the summer and around 10 during the winter season. But be aware: it’s based on a first-come, first-served basis. Standbys are allowed to board after the passengers of that sailing are on board and if there is room (no-shows or cancellations). If you are not allowed on board, you will get a refund on your ticket.

Off-Season

The only time it is relatively easy to get tickets is in the winter season (except for the holidays), especially November. In winter, you may score same-day tickets, depending on how early you start trying. If that doesn’t work, you usually can get tickets for the day tours the next day. The Night Tours tend to sell out quicker in the winter season. You should book at least 6 weeks ahead if you want to be sure you can get tickets. Later in March, all the tours start to get booked up again, especially around Easter Break.

If you’re still trying to figure out how to get sold-out Alcatraz tickets, without also taking a tour, we have some tips on what to do if Alcatraz tickets are sold out.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I scheduled a Muir Woods tour two weeks before I was to arrive in San Jose. The day before the tour, Dylan Tours canceled my tour while I was flying in. Because of the last minute cancelation, I was not able to pick up a different tour for my only free day in the city. Update: a day after my canceled tour Rhona, the Lead Guest Reservations Coordinator, reached out to me. She, very nicely, apologized for the situation, explained why it happened and offered to make it up for myself or family that maybe visiting. I appreciate their effort to take responsibility and make things right. Hence, an updated rating.

Verified Not a good tour This was a good tour with very bad transportation. The "tour bus was an airport shuttle bus.So, every time the guide spoke about something to see in front of you, you could not see it as there were no front windows to see out of, the only one who could see out front was the nus driver. This was terrible and unacceptable. I am asking for half of my money back as I only saw out of the side window. I would not recommend Dylan Tours San Francisco.

We had the best time listening to his stories and learning about the history of San Francisco as we drove around the city. Despite it being Fleet Week, traffic wasn’t terrible, and Dylan did a fantastic job keeping us on schedule while making sure we enjoyed every stop. Our time in Sausalito was wonderful! We had delicious burgers at Napa Valley Burger Company and still had time to walk around and explore the town. Muir Woods was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and even better than we expected. We can’t say enough good things about this tour, and especially Dylan! He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. If you’re visiting San Francisco, I highly recommend booking a tour with Dylan’s Tours! Thank you, Dylan, for such a memorable day!

Alcaratz tour is late afternoon which is managed separately by the ferry provider. Overall tour was good but not worth almost $180

Best tour in San Francisco I would 100% recommend booking a tour with this company, booking was easy, their communication was great, especially as they asked us to change our times which actually worked out better for us anyway. Finding the pick up point was also really easy and our tour guide Roger was just the best, his knowledge of San Francisco was just amazing and he showed us some truly amazing things, he had a wealth of knowledge about other things we could do here that were really budget friendly and we actually did do some of the things he suggested. Our visit to Muir woods was stunning, so beautiful and peaceful, my only complaint was that we could have stayed there much longer, but even with the 90 minutes we still were able to have a good walk around. Again if you looking for tours in San Francisco then Dylan’s tours are what you’re looking for. Thank you for a truly amazing time.

Verified The post is inaccurate the host informed me over the phone that the tour is actually 4 hours and that they spend about 15 minutes at each of the locations aside from Muir Woods where you will spend an hour. I was told over the phone that I could cancel because the listing is inaccurate but they stopped replying after. You’re better off going to these locations on your own which is what I did. save your money.

Verified the trip to Muir woods was magical and our guide Jeffrey was fun and knowledgeable. I could have used another hour in the woods just to longer and savor the environment but didn't feel rushed - just left wanting more. I loved the photo stops along the way - easiet way to get a great bridge photo! lunch in Sausalito was fun too. great recommendations and good food.

Verified Great deal and value, our guide was knowledgeable of the city and always willing to take photos. Also he was very accommodating to drop us off at the location close to where we were going after the tour, as long as he was passing it. The only thing that was annoying was waiting for people who were late. It tells you to arrive 20-15 mins before the tour but we still had to wait for 2 people and then wait for people again on each stop, not the driver’s fault, just need to be more strict with time cus it’s not fair for many of us.

Was very smooth from pick up to drop off. We landed in the city very early am and debated cancelling the tour but were glad we didn’t. Patrick kept the ride lively as well. Would recommend to anyone traveling to San Francisco.

He had so much to tell us about San Francisco. We went to so many places and I feel like the tour covered just enough. The bus was clean and we were offered water and a snack upon the start of the tour. Muir Woods was my favorite part of the trip. I think anyone visiting should book one of the bus tours! You won’t regret it!
