5.00Wonderful tour! The audio tour was clear and very detailed. The go at your own pace is a definite bonus! You have the ability to stay as long or as little as you like, the boats to take you back to San Francisco are available fairly quickly! It’s windy!! Bring a jacket! Make sure you allow plenty of time to walk through the garden and do a little bird watching!!
Very nice and great paced...

5.00Very nice and great paced tour. The only thing that I would like to see is more information on the other inmates that were incarcerated, example: James "Whitey" Bulger and Clarence Carnes the youngest inmate on Alcatraz.

5.00Very interesting history. Audio tour of the cell house was full of details that I never knew. The climb to cell house was strenuous but well worth it. A tram to the cell house was available for those that preferred not to climb.
Nice!
