Start your tour on the north end of Fisherman's Wharf and take in bayside views of two of San Francisco's most iconic landmarks – the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. Your guide will fill you in on the city's history, going from Gold Rush boom and earth-shattering earthquakes, through to the global metropolis it is today.

Make your way along the wharf and take in the smells and sounds of food stalls selling regional specialties like crab and clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls. You'll also walk a section of the Barbary Coast trail and learn about its past.

At Pier 39, see sea lions, admire historic ships, and enjoy the buzz of the entertainment district. After that, it's time for Alcatraz.

Say goodbye to your guide after they've taken you to the ferry, and explore Alcatraz Island and the famous prison during an audio guided tour. Make sure you bring your camera!

Present your smartphone voucher to the guide at the meeting point: 700 Beach Street (at Cable Car Turnaround).
