Yes, and it’s a great way to make the most of your time in the city. Several local tour companies offer combo packages where you’ll do a city tour or head out to Muir Woods in the morning, then take the Alcatraz ferry in the afternoon. It works well because Alcatraz runs timed entries, so tour operators plan their schedules around the ferry times.
The key thing to watch for is timing—Alcatraz ferries leave from Pier 33, and you’ll need to arrive about 30 minutes before your departure. A good combo tour will factor that in and usually drop you off right there after the morning portion ends. Just make sure you’re booking through a reputable company that includes the official Alcatraz ticket, because some cheaper packages don’t.
