One of the best SF tours

04/12/2008 Posted by kimbolicious

Great informative, interesting tour of history! The ferry ride there was so fun, I recommend sitting on the top deck (even though its freezing, its so worth it!) Go during the "night" tours, they are the most informative and complete tours. I love the audio tour with the actual inmate voices. Is a bit pricey, but who cares? It's really worth it!

Pros: all sorts of public transit can take you here, when you get off theres still hundreds of things to do!

Cons: parking....but dont drive thats dumb...take the cable car and walk!
