Departing from he Fairmont San Francisco, get ready to enjoy a full day fun! 

A local tour guide will bus you to Pier 33, where a short ferry ride will transport you to infamous Alcatraz!  Closed for almost 50 years, this prison was once home to Al Capone, Robert “The Birdman” Stroud and George “Machine Gun’ Kelly. 

The award-winning audio tour brings history alive through actual voices of the correctional officers and inmates who lived on the island during the infamous Federal Penitentiary era.  Hear both sides of life in the island prison including such famous events as escape attempts, “The Battle of ‘46”, food riots and surviving solitary confinement.

Next, enjoy lunch on Pier 33 at the Franciscan Crab Restaurant.  Known for their superb seafood, the restaurant also offers unforgettable views of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz and historic Fisherman's Wharf.

Be sure to stretch your legs after lunch and talk a walk around the Pier. With oodles of shops, you will be sure to find a special souvenir to bring home.  And don’t forget to look for the colony of sea lions just off the pier!
