5.00A must visit site in SF. You can take boat to the island and visit Alcatraz in about 2 hours, with an audio tour.

5.00The experience was fun but be prepared for walking up hill. Very interesting audio and informative. The loading to start was a little unorganized and confusing but still all and worth some of your day.

5.00Easy to get tickets at booth on the day you want to go. Disregard comments to buy five days beforehand. Take flyspray because the pests are in full force. Don’t buy an evening tour on a Monday because it doesn’t go on mondays... We wasted our money and there’s no refunds. It’s a great history tour for sure. Well worth the visit. There’s no food or drinks to buy there and it’s banned ti take with you except for water. Sneak a pack of candy to chew. It takes about 2 hours and the headset with voice recorder provided free saves you bringing your own.
