Step back in time and experience the legendary Alcatraz Island, a Civil War fort, a military prison, and one of the most notorious federal penitentiaries in US History. Hop on a ferry to "The Rock" and listen to the 45-minute audio "Doing Time" to acquaint yourself with its history. Once on Alcatraz Island, make your way up to the cell house prison building and receive an audio headset. Hear stories about actual correctional officers and prisoners, such as Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly who lived and worked on Alcatraz Island. Once the audio tour is over, continue taking pictures and exploring the island in your own time. Admire the San Francisco skyline views as you walk back down to the ferry landing and hop on the next ferry headed back to San Francisco. The Alcatraz ferry will leave on time at the designated time. You must arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time at Pier 33. Then, continue your day out by sailing along San Francisco's historic waterfront on a sightseeing cruise and admire the stunning San Francisco skyline. Glide past the Presidio, go beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, and around Alcatraz Island. Best of all, choose the day and departure time of your cruise.
The tour to Alcatraz and the subsequent boat tour under the Golden Gate Bridge were great. Everything went smoothly, everyone knew what was going on and there were no problems at all. Although Alcatraz is a really cool experience. It gives you goosebumps.
Enjoyed the view of Golden Gate bridge and skyline SF. Alcatraz was definitely worth a visit the audio tour available in Dutch.
The combination of exploring Alcatraz Island and the Bay Cruise was very satisfying.
Everything was very well, very clearly indicated. From picking up the tickets to the two activities and the two meeting points. I'd recommend it.
Really well done. Spaced tourists out well so the area didn’t feel over-crowded. The audio tour was amazing and you could take at your own pace. Would do again.
