Can I do Alcatraz in the late afternoon and still fit in a short city tour earlier in the day?

Yes, and a lot of travelers plan it that way. Alcatraz tours in the afternoon typically start between 1:30–3:50 PM. That gives you plenty of time to do a 2–3 hour city tour in the morning. Some companies even build this into their schedule—city tour first, then drop-off right at Pier 33 for Alcatraz.

Just remember that Alcatraz requires you to arrive 30 minutes before departure, so make sure you don’t cut it too close if you’re finishing a tour beforehand. And grab lunch before boarding—there’s nothing to eat on the island.
