About San Francisco: Alcatraz Island & Bike Rental Day Tours

Local Legends & Stories

Alcatraz earned its infamous reputation as 'The Rock,' housing some of America's most notorious criminals from 1934 to 1963, including Al Capone and the Birdman of Alcatraz, Robert Stroud. The island's strategic location in the cold, treacherous bay waters made escape nearly impossible—and only a handful of attempts ever made it to legend.

About San Francisco: Alcatraz Island & Bike Rental Day Tours

Visitors must book Alcatraz Island ferry tickets well in advance as they frequently sell out, with departures located at Pier 33 Alcatraz Landing. The bike rental typically includes a helmet, lock, and map, allowing for flexible exploration of San Francisco's designated bike routes before or after the island tour. Bikes must be returned to the designated rental shop by the agreed-upon time to avoid late fees.

As a globally renowned single-span suspension bridge, Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol and landmark of San Francisco. The Bridge spans the entire San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate strait of the Pacific Ocean, making it an important transportation hub linking San Francisco and cities to the north. Many US movies and TV shows have been filmed here. The north of the Bridge is an ideal site to take a panoramic picture of the structure; and its bright orange arch seems shrouded in mystery in foggy days; the Bridge's southern side is more suitable for a close-up snapshot of the water and the body of the Bridge. If the schedule allows, you can rent a bicycle and experience a more unique view while riding the length of the Bridge.
