The forty-nine square miles of San Francisco are a colorful tapestry of steep hills, picturesque houses,
clanging cable cars, fishing boats, summer fog, Chinese pagodas, cosmopolitan cafés and breathtaking views.
Five continents and three centuries blend together on forty-three hills, waiting to be discovered.
Today you will see some of the legendary landmarks of “Everybody’s Favorite City.”
Today, you will be “sentenced” to a “short term” on the notorious Alcatraz Island federal penitentiary. From the San Francisco waterfront, you will take a short ferry ride across the chilly waters of the Bay to “the Rock.” Here they will visit the cells once occupied by some of the nation’s most infamous criminals. On this austere wind and fog-ridden island, it is easy to see why few attempts were made to escape into the treacherous bay with its undertows and turbulent waters. An expertly created audio tour contains interviews with former prisoners and guards from “the Rock,” providing fascinating insight into prison life in the middle of the San Francisco Bay.
No visit to San Francisco is complete without a cruise on the Bay while enjoying gourmet cuisine aboard a luxurious yacht. Tonight’s cruise will give you the opportunity to experience one of the Bay’s spectacular sights: sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. The evening sky will be awash in rosy pinks and fiery oranges; the lights of the legendary San Francisco skyline just beginning to reveal their iridescent jewels; the setting sun silhouetting the hills beyond the Marin Headlands.
