Very good time on Alcatraz Island. Great history from before, during and after its time as a Maximum Security Prison. Able to explore the island at one’s pace is convenient.
This was exactly what I had hoped for amazing. Every thing the ride the tour,. The stories. We took the night tour and Honestly I could repeat again and again
Give yourself plenty of time to cover the whole island, look out for special items that happen during your visit. Bring sweater/hoodie if the weather looks indifferent
Excellent experience! Very helpful staff. It took me 2.5 hrs to get through the tour. There are return ferry boats that leave frequently from Alcatraz.
Super cool experience. I wouldn't recommend standing on the front of the ferry as we got splashed by a big wave and we're soaked. The gift shop is priced very fairly. The audio tour is a must. The entire experience is a must and achievable on a budget.
The Night tour feels too rushed. If you listen to everything on the audio tour and stop to listen to a “live talk”, you probably won’t make it to the “Special cell door closing demonstration”. At least we didn’t. We definitely heard them closing but it would’ve been nice to see them. They say you can go and look around but you don’t really have time because the prison closes at 9:00. My advice is to do the night tour. Just don’t stop to listen to any live talks. Listen to the audio and do what it says. Move, move, move! ;-)
We did the night tour. It was worth going. You can even step in a cell. The audio tour was informative.
Very informative and interesting. I loved how you can walk with a group or completely do your own thing. Also, the fact that you can leave every 30 mins.
This is our 4th trip to San Francisco but finally we were smart enough to pre book the Alcatraz Tour! It was well worth it!!
It was a great experience! We loved how you listened to the tour through headphones. People kept moving and no clogging of areas. I love that we can go into cells to feel the experience. Thank you!
