5.00The history on Alcatraz was informative and you could feel and imagine what life was like back then and how they manage the site today.
Disappointed with Viator. Too costly for what we got.

5.00Excellent. You have the choice of walking up to the cell blocks or taking a shuttle. We opted for the shuttle and received a running commentary as the gentleman drove. The audio facility was easy to follow.

3.00They are 2 completely different boats and places to go to experience the trips. I didn't know this and almost missed my Alcatraz time. Had to run about 15 minutes down the ward to get the right place for the boat to the island, on pier 27, and then it was too late to catch the boat for the golden gate bridge ride, at the blue and gold fleet.
Special tour with Mrs. Smith !

5.00So much information to learn about this now National Park. Follow the small group guided tour and you will hear and see so much more about the island ! Thank you Constance Smith for volunteering your time and sharing your valuable knowledge & insights. Our special behind the scenes your was amazing! A history lesson we will not soon forget.
Very cool history!

5.00A great tour! If you don't have a guided tour with a guide...stay behind with the ranger and he will guide you a bit giving you very interesting information for free. It is a very cool place to see. Make sure to book your tickets WAY in advance as they sell out very fast! We wanted the behind the scenes tour but it was gone quick! I'd also recommend getting the early tour as it starts to get get very crowded very soon. One last thing...some of the outside walking is uphill. So if you have any trouble with that they do offer a tram ride up for those that may have with any disabilities.
Successful trip to San Francisco
