On this guided tour of North Beach, we’ll explore one of the must-see areas of San Francisco. We’ll stroll through the most iconic spots of Little Italy. You can also visit Alcatraz!

North Beach Tour Details

We’ll meet at Washington Square, next to the Volunteer Firefighters Memorial.

From here, we’ll begin a walking tour through the North Beach neighborhood, the heart of Little Italy in San Francisco. We’ll head to Saints Peter and Paul Church, known as the Italian Cathedral of the West.

Next, we’ll stop by Liguria Bakery, a true North Beach institution that has been making some of the most delicious focaccia in San Francisco since 1911. We’ll continue the tour along Lombard Street until we reach the Alcatraz viewpoint, where we’ll enjoy excellent views of the island as well as nearby Telegraph Hill.

To complete the tour, we’ll head to another viewpoint to admire the unmistakable Golden Gate Bridge. After taking plenty of photos of this famous landmark, we’ll continue to Pier 39 to see its sea lions sunbathing. They’re the true stars of the area!

After 1.5 hours, we’ll end the guided tour at Pier 39.

Visit to Alcatraz Island

If you choose this option, at the end of the North Beach tour we’ll give you a ferry ticket so you can travel on your own to Alcatraz Island.

Once you arrive, you’ll explore Alcatraz Prison at your own pace with an audio guide in English.

Golden Gate Bay Cruise

If you choose this option, after the North Beach tour you’ll enjoy a 1-hour cruise across the Golden Gate Bay. Your booking confirmation will include all the necessary information about the departure time and boarding point for this experience, which will allow you to enjoy some of the best views of San Francisco.

SkyStar Observation Wheel

If you choose this option, after the North Beach tour you’ll board your gondola and rise to a height of 46 meters (151 feet). From there, you’ll enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the area. During a ride of more than 10 minutes, you’ll have an unforgettable experience.
