Alcatraz & Muir Woods Tours with The Tour Store, SF

San Francisco’s rugged shoreline and towering redwoods set the stage for The Tour Store, a local outfitter crafting multi-faceted adventure experiences that showcase some of the Bay Area’s most iconic outdoor destinations. Based in the city, The Tour Store specializes in comprehensive tours combining legendary sites like Alcatraz Island, Muir Woods National Monument, and the Golden Gate Bridge with seamless transportation and bike rentals.

At the heart of their offerings is the classic Alcatraz Inside tour, granting visitors a chance to walk the cellblocks of the infamous former prison while absorbing panoramic views of the Bay. For those craving active exploration, The Tour Store’s bike rental packages provide two-hour or full-day rides through San Francisco’s vibrant neighborhoods and waterfront paths, adding a layer of freedom and discovery.
