Insider Tips for San Francisco
1
Alcatraz tickets release 90 days ahead and sell out fast. Night tours are smaller groups with more atmospheric storytelling — worth the premium.

Napa Valley tours from SF are 8-10 hours. Sonoma tours offer similar wine quality with less commercial crowds and shorter drive times.
