San Francisco: Alcatraz, Ferry & Audio Tour w/ Night Option

Visit Alcatraz with included ferry and admission, and enhance your journey with an immersive audio guide that stays with you from the moment you board the ferry to the moment you return. Available only with this exclusive ticket. Step beyond the standard visit to Alcatraz with this exclusive package that includes official Alcatraz admission, round-trip ferry tickets, and a cinematic audio tour that accompanies you every step of the way — from the moment you depart Pier 33 to the moment you return from the island. This isn’t just a prison tour. Our audio companion guide reveals stories most visitors never hear: Indigenous history, hidden gardens, island families, art installations, and powerful moments of protest and renewal. Ride the ferry across the bay with immersive narration and soundscapes Explore the island's dramatic cliffs, gardens, and ruins with guided storytelling Reflect on the deeper meanings of justice, resistance, and transformation during your return journey This audio experience is designed to complement the official Alcatraz Cellhouse audio tour (which is also included), giving you a complete and unforgettable view of the island’s past and present. Note that this tour does not include a live tour guide. At checkout, you can select the Alcatraz Night Tour option, which includes evening ferry service, guided introductions by park rangers, and access to areas not open during the day.

Ich habe im Vorfeld im jänner oder Februar gebucht da überall angegeben wurde es könne sonst sein das die Tour ausgebucht ist. Auch get your guide warb damit und so buchte ich die Tour um 83 Euro. Vor Ort gab es mehre Anbieter, bzw sogar direkt am pier 33 eine Kasse u tickets für die Tour um umgerechnet 40 Euro. Zudem würden wir nicht einmal kontrolliert und hätten auch gratis fahren können. Natürlich bin ich immer bereit für Leistung zu bezahlen allerdings das doppelte über get your guide find ich doch frech.

Instructions were not accurate. We did not need to bring headphones & I did not need to download audio, they had everything at Alcatraz.

Bello. Ma per quello che costa e vedi è un pò caro.

The trip itself is not bad but the fact that i had to pay double the fare which i realised later took away the fun of it

Creíamos que habíamos contratado un tour como bien te vendían la actividad y resulta que vas por tu cuenta con un audio guía en tu idioma, lo recomendable es comprarlo en la taquilla ya que es lo mismo, me defraudó por eso
