This was a fantastic tour. It was great to learn about some of the history of the Island and the jail. If you’re looking for a fun thing to do while in San Francisco then hit these dudes up
I had never been to Alcatraz and have visited the city a few times previously. The boat ride was great. My boyfriend, son and I went a little later in the day. A few of the areas were closing as we got to the island. I was a little bummed to miss those areas. Had I known, I would have for sure booked a little earlier in the day. The audio tour of the Cell house was cool, definitely recommend. It made me feel better about missing the areas that closed. The walk for me was not bad at all. I had hip surgery 10 1/2 months ago. I didn’t even feel sore at the end of the day. Overall, I did enjoy my visit and am so glad I went. If you get a chance, take the tour…but earlier in the day. I do plan on visiting again.
Self-guide tour/visit was amazing!! It takes you back in time. It was very impressive to see everything with your own eyes instead of a t.v. documentary. It was about $47.95 plus tax, but its was a unique experience. I really enjoyed it!
