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.

hat mir generell gut gefallen. Die beigelegte Audiotour kam etwas spät und war schwierig auf der Insel zu hören. Ich weiß nicht, ob es irgendwo ein Hinweis gab, diese vorab runterzuladen, was sinnvoll scheint. Der Vorort-Audioguide (im Gefängnis) ist sehr gut gemacht und hoch interessant mit den ganzen Details. Was besonders war - war die spezielle Historie-Führung, die gerade begonnen hatte und die ich auch noch mitnehmen konnte. Sonst ist auf der Insel einiges gesperrt (für die Sicherheit, so heißt es) und damit wird die Insel recht klein. Dennoch verging die Zeit bis zur letzten Fähre enorm schnell, so dass ich mich sogar noch etwas beeilen musste.

Pagato 25€ in piu ma è lo stesso tour dell’ufficiale (sempre qui su get your guide) dei nostri amici hanno preso quello da 40€ ed era esattamente questo. Quindi perché fate pagare di piu?!?

Die Tour war sehr interessant. Leider haben wir über Get your Gide das Doppelte bezahlt, was ich nicht für gutheißen kann. Ein Ticket vor Ort kostet 59 Dollar.
