Operates: Visit Alcatraz and take in the top attractions of San Francisco too on this combination tour package. Find out how the island of Alcatraz has been a U.S. Army asset as well as a federal prison, and has played a role in jailhouse folklore and the historic evolution of the West Coast.

No one ever successfully escaped alive. Your Premium Big Bus hop-on-hop-off pass is a great way to see the sights of San Francisco.
