We just had a blast taking our 4-year-old dynamo to Alcatraz Island! Would you believe it? Our little dude was pumped for the ferry ride and sprinting around Alcatraz like a whirlwind. Talk about a sight to behold! My hubby, a police officer, was over the moon with this tour. Trust us, folks—Alcatraz is a winner for all ages! Daria signing off with a thumbs-up!

Alcatraz and San Francisco - the best part of our vacation in California

Alcatraz goes beyond! Native American legacy and the Great Escape added depth. The self-guided tour immersed us, comfy shoes needed for exploration. Witnessing past remnants was fascinating. Frank Morris's escape saga was riveting. For history buffs and movie lovers, it's a must-visit. A gem not to miss in San Francisco's tapestry of tales

Anochecer en Alcatraz: ¿ espectacular o simplemente oooh, muy espeluznante?

Alcatraz nocturno: ¿Aterrador o fascinante? Mi experiencia inclinó más hacia "oooh, espeluznante" que aterrorizante. Sombras, ecos del pasado, pero fuimos un grupo de intrépidos compañeros por lo que resultó más emocionante que aterrador. Si hubiera ido solo, claro que hubiera preferido explorar la isla de día y disfrutar del sol y la historia sin la atmósfera espeluznante cuando oscure. ¿si usted Busca emoción y le gusta echarle un vistazo oscuro? El tour nocturno es su mejor opción para una dosis de adrenalina. ¡Saludos!

Une excellente expérience ! Un excellent choix

Guide exceptionnel à San Francisco. Déjeuner élégant à Sausalito, pas de fast-foods, rendant l'expérience exclusive.

Visite privée abordable et enrichissante.

Is Alcatraz Day or Night Tour Worth the Trip? How to Decide

Night tour at Alcatraz was the right choice! Spooky aura, different vibe, and the best kind of goosebumps. Quirks? Some areas off-limits, windy/chilly, foggy—layer up! Paired with a city tour, worth every dime. Book the night tour in advance; it's a winner for spook-factor. Alcatraz is a must for any San Fran visitor!

Interesante Tour Combinado de Muir Woods y Alcatraz

Nuestro tour combinado de Muir Woods y Alcatraz fue la escapada perfecta en San Francisco antes de partir hacia Napa Valley para la boda de un amigo. Vale totalmente la pena, sin duda. Los colosales árboles de Muir Woods eran impresionantes, ¡pero vaya, estaban llenos de gente! La Isla de Alcatraz, también tenía su parte de multitudes. Aun así, esta dupla es imprescindible, sin lugar a dudas. Lugares populares, pero que valen cada centavo. El que madruga, Dios lo ayuda. Sugerimos empezar el día temprano para vencer a los autobuses y a las multitudes en Muir Woods. Así puedes disfrutar de su encanto sereno antes de que llegue la muchedumbre. ¡Alcatraz, la antigua prisión de máxima seguridad, está en una isla más pequeña de lo que uno piensa! Un rápido paseo en ferry de unos 20 minutos desde Fisherman's Wharf, y ya estás allí. Consejo práctico: los carros eléctricos de Alcatraz son un salvavidas para las subidas empinadas. Mi abuela no pudo hacer la caminata, pero ese carro fue un gran cambio para ella. Después, paseamos por Fisherman's Wharf, exploramos las tiendas de recuerdos, disfrutamos de delicias del mar y avistamos las juguetonas focas. Recomiendo mucho este lugar después de las aventuras en Alcatraz. Angélica O. Ciudad de México, México"

Our Muir Woods and Alcatraz combo tour was the perfect San Francisco sprint before jetting off to Napa Valley for a friend’s wedding. It's a bang for your buck, no doubt. The colossal redwoods in Muir Woods were stunning, but boy, were they popular! Alcatraz Island, too, had its fair share of crowds. Nevertheless, this duo is a must-do, hands down. Popular spots, but worth every penny.

Early bird catches the worm! We'd suggest kickstarting the day early to beat the buses and masses at Muir Woods. That way, you can soak up the serene charm before the crowds pour in.

Alcatraz, the former maximum-security prison, sits on a smaller island than you’d think! A quick ferry ride of about 20 minutes from Fisherman's Wharf, and you're there. Pro tip: Alcatraz electric carts are a savior for uphill treks. My grandma couldn't make the hike, but that cart was a game-changer for her. Afterward, we strolled around Fisherman’s Wharf, dove into the souvenir shops, relished seafood delights, and caught sight of the playful seals. Highly recommend this spot post-Alcatraz adventures.

Definitely A 5-Star: Alcatraz & Redwoods Experience

Without a doubt, a 5-star adventure! Whether you're a local or a globe-trotter hitting San Francisco, this day trip is an absolute must. Alcatraz Island is remarkably accessible, even for those with mobility concerns—it's an eye-opener in every sense! The guided tour? Mind-blowing! Just make sure to stay on the path—things can get a bit muddled otherwise.
The ferry ride is a spectacle in itself, offering breathtaking views of San Francisco and its neighboring treasures like Angel Island and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Timing is key; miss your slot, and you’re out! Alcatraz tickets are like gold dust—hard to find! We lucked out with a last-minute cancellation through Alcatraz Tours; otherwise, we'd have missed this gem.
A definite 5-star affair thanks to the Alcatraz and redwoods combo tour. Our guide steered us clear of Muir Woods’ chaos to a secluded redwood haven in Marin County. Just us and those colossal redwoods—no traffic jams, no crowds. I’ve been to Muir Woods, and let me tell you, I much preferred our alternative redwood groves in Marin.

Kudos to this tour company and guide—highly recommended!

Awesome Alcatraz Island & Redwoods Combo Day Trip

I’m glad we booked Alcatraz Island and Redwoods combo tour, it was incredible, even with the foggy Bay Area setting the scene. Arriving at Pier 33, our guide sorted our Alcatraz tickets smoothly. No stress about parking or reservations, just a fantastic tour before we hopped on the ferry to Alcatraz prison. The self-guided audio tour within the cells immersed us in the prison's history. Hearing echoes of guards and inmates felt surreal, offering a glimpse into this remote and eerie federal facility. Don't forget to grab those headphones at the hilltop entrance, and for those with mobility challenges, the 'SEAT' electric tram's a lifesaver. Alcatraz Island being a national park means you've got park rangers handy for all the info you need. Booking this redwood and Alcatraz tour ahead was wise. It was a struggle to find ferry tickets until we stumbled upon www.alcatraztoursf.com. Their combo was a game-changer, saving us stress and hassle. The staff were helpful, and our guide was a treasure—knowledgeable, professional, and hilariously entertaining, especially for our kids. Don't bother with Muir Woods; we've heard it's overrun. Let this tour lead you to a hidden gem of redwoods in Marin County, somewhere near San Francisco. I can't recall the name, but we had the entire place to ourselves—massive trees and a picturesque landscape. A hot tip: line up early at the Alcatraz ferry terminal for the prime seats on the third floor! An absolute must.

Muir Woods and Alcatraz combo tour

Our Muir Woods and Alcatraz combo tour was just what we needed for our single day in San Francisco. The entire tour was impeccably organized, giving us every bit of value for our money. Muir Woods National Monument is an absolute gem that's worth the detour, especially for families with young ones. The colossal redwoods make it a stunning spot. I highly recommend this Alcatraz and redwoods combo tour; it's a money-saver and hassle-free, considering the special permits and advanced reservations required for both places.

                     Franck V. from Montreal, Canada

 

Alcatraz Exceeded Expectations!

Amidst the hustle and bustle at Muir Woods, Alcatraz Island stood out as the highlight of our trip. It’s an absolute must-see if you’re in the Bay area. I highly vouch for this tour company; their guides are fantastic—reliable, quick to respond, and filled with engaging stories. Our trip was not just informative but incredibly enjoyable too.

"Redwoods, Houseboats & Alcatraz: Mary's Marvelous Adventure!"

Our adventure with Mary was beyond amazing! We kicked off at the majestic Muir Woods Redwoods Forest, where Mary’s insights made those towering redwoods even more awe-inspiring. Mill Valley and the quirky Sausalito houseboats added flair to our journey.

The climax? Alcatraz in the afternoon! With Mom and my sisters, Mary’s storytelling brought the prison's history to life. The audio tour was top-notch, easy for all to enjoy. It was an immersive experience, mixing eerie tales with breathtaking island views.

Mary made every moment thrilling and educational. From nature's wonders to historical tales, each stop was enriched by her expertise. A massive thanks to Mary for crafting a day bursting with unforgettable memories!

We highly recommend this tour company—easy booking, worry-free fun. This trip was a birthday treat for Mom's trip from Alabama to the Bay Area.

10 stars!: Pure serenity and nature at its finest!

This half-day private tour to Muir Woods was an absolute ripper to kickstart the morning, giving us a breather from the city chaos without a fair dinkum trek. Muir Woods is fair dinkum worth the gander. Never miss out on a squiz at Muir Woods national monument if you're ever in the San Francisco Bay area. The park's deadset less packed in the morning, and we were chuffed to bits enjoying it before the rush. All up, a corker of a quiet and ripper experience.

Our tour guide made this trip even more bonza by taking us for a snack at Stinson Beach. The drive's a beauty, offering stunning views along the coast.

Be sure to plan your visit to Muir Woods and book in advance!

So, imagine this: we roll up to the park all excited, but bam! A park ranger with an attitude gives us the boot, saying, "Nope, no entry without online booking!" Insert eye roll. The parking's all fancy now, strictly for tours and bigwig commercial stuff. Bummer, right?

Now, cue the adventure! We zip back to Sausalito, park our rental ride, and, lucky us, stumble upon this awesome tour company. Last-minute heroes, they swoop in, pick us up, and off we go!

Finally, Muir Woods in the late afternoon—the jackpot! The forest's practically our private retreat, peaceful and serene. Shoutout to Adam, our tour guide extraordinaire! He's the real MVP, turning our ranger run-in frown upside down. Super chill and made us forget that park ranger drama.

So, here's the golden nugget of wisdom: plan ahead, snag those reservations, and you'll be in for a treat at Muir Woods!

Definitely, do plan your visit to Muir Woods and book in advance!

Muir Woods Magic & Alcatraz fun

Our adventure to Muir Woods National Monument was absolutely fun , and it's all thanks to the stellar tour guide who took our experience to the next level. Unfortunately, his name escapes us, but his excellence surely won't.

First things first, the ride there was not your average journey. Picture this: a gleaming Mercedes BMW van that looked like it just rolled off a showroom floor. It was so clean you could eat off it – a rare sight for any tour vehicle.

As we embarked on our Muir Woods escapade, our guide didn't just steer the van; he steered our minds with a treasure trove of information. I'm talking history, nature facts, and trivia that kept us hooked throughout the trip. Kudos to Viator for hooking us up with this gem of a guide.

Now, the cherry on top happened when we, in our absent-minded bliss, left our sunglasses behind in the van. We only realized it when we were already onto the next leg of our journey. But here's where our guide turned superhero – he not only called us but went above and beyond, driving all the way to our hotel to personally deliver the forgotten shades. Talk about service!

Muir Woods was nothing short of enchanting. The towering redwoods, the crisp air, and the serene atmosphere – it's a nature lover's dream come true. The walk was totally worth it, and we soaked in every bit of the woods' magic.

In a nutshell, our Muir Woods Forest Morning Tour was a slam dunk, and our mystery guide deserves a standing ovation. If you're up for an adventure that's both informative and downright fun, this tour is the one. Alcatraz Island tour goes without saying , a must-see attraction in SF bay ,the audio guided tour is well done, and the ferry ride was easy and smooth. Can't recommend it enough!

Alcatraz Day Tour with Muir Woods—An Unforgettable San Francisco Adventure

Our plans to visit Muir Woods in San Francisco got postponed due to the pandemic, and we're thankful for this company's flexibility in accommodating our changes. San Francisco, with its world-class restaurants, breathtaking scenery, and captivating culture, is a must-visit city that we highly recommend. As we finally made it to Muir Woods, we were delighted to explore the forest's numerous trails, catering perfectly to our love for hiking. Kudos to this business for providing an exceptional Muir Woods experience.

Our dream of experiencing the iconic redwood forest in Marin County became a reality, all thanks to the pre-booked tour that seamlessly included a visit to Alcatraz. The tour bus driver went above and beyond, offering invaluable suggestions for our journey. While uphill hikes aren't our forte, the recommendations led us to the Cathedral and Bohemian groves, offering a different perspective. Numerous stops along the way allowed us to appreciate the majestic redwoods, creating a humbling experience. Note that the Hillside loop, though popular, wasn't paved.

The Alcatraz segment involved some steep hills, but a mini tram service made the ascent manageable. We advise dressing in layers to combat all weather conditions during this tour.

In summary, this tour, encompassing both Alcatraz and Muir Woods, comes highly recommended for those seeking an enriching and diverse San Francisco adventure.

Abrázando la Naturaleza y la Historia: Un Viaje a Dos Atracciones Icónicas

Después de años de anticipación, finalmente llegamos tanto a Muir Woods como a Alcatraz. Nos sorprendió saber que se requería reservar con anticipación, pero estuvimos agradecidos de haberlo hecho. Desde el proceso de reserva hasta las propias excursiones, todo transcurrió sin problemas y sin ningún problema. El Sendero Canopy View en Muir Woods es imprescindible para aquellos que buscan una perspectiva diferente de los imponentes árboles de secuoya. Al salir de Muir Woods, también nos tomamos el tiempo para visitar el mirador de la playa en la carretera costera. Las vistas del océano desde el acantilado son simplemente increíbles. Nuestro guía turístico, Jon, fue fantástico y tenía respuestas para cualquier pregunta que le lanzáramos. Hizo nuestra experiencia más agradable. Mientras que el clima en Muir Woods era fresco pero no frío, Alcatraz estaba envuelto en niebla y viento. Sin embargo, aún valió la pena la visita. ¡Nos encantó! Es importante vestirse en capas, con un abrigo, chamarra o chaqueta para mantenerse abrigado. Recomiendo encarecidamente este viaje combinado para todos los que le gustan de la historia y son amantes de la naturaleza .

Immersive Adventures: A Memorable Day at Alcatraz and Beyond

Let me paint the picture of our incredible day at Alcatraz with my husband—it was an absolute thrill! The star of the show was undoubtedly the Alcatraz audio tour named 'Doing Time: The Alcatraz Cellhouse Tour.' This tour wasn't your average walk-through; they handed out these neat audio devices right there at the prison, which really immersed us in the whole experience. We wandered through the cells, hearing the stories and history—it was spine-tingling and fascinating all at once. We were so relieved we decided to book this tour in advance. It made our day so much smoother, and with Alcatraz being such a hot ticket, it spared us the stress of uncertainty. What added a whole new layer of enjoyment to our trip was our tour guide. They weren't just a guide but a whole package of entertainment! From driving us to Muir Woods and Sausalito to sharing quirky stories and little-known facts, they made the journey fun and took care of all of us like a pro. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it made the whole day even more memorable. Altogether, the Alcatraz tour coupled with our guide's charm made it a day to remember—a blend of history, adventure, and some unexpected laughs. We left feeling like we'd truly experienced something special.

“Unforgettable Journey: Muir Woods and Alcatraz Day Trip Delight!"

Our day trip to Muir Woods and Alcatraz was nothing short of spectacular! Buddy, our guide (I think he's a San Fran native), was an absolute legend! His knack for spinning tales and sharing fascinating tidbits about every nook and cranny along our route was just brilliant. The towering redwoods in Muir Woods? Mind-blowing! And those easy-breezy trails? Perfect for our fam-jam adventure!

Sausalito was a sight for sore eyes, and the boat ride to Alcatraz? Talk about picture-perfect—Golden Gate Bridge, Oakland Bay Bridge—seen 'em all from the waterside! Alcatraz's self-guided tour? Top-notch and super user-friendly. Even our 11- and 9-year-olds were digging the island's history. The folks there were ultra-friendly, and boy, did they keep the place spick and span!

A small word of caution, though—San Francisco parking can be a bit of a hassle. Sadly, our car got a visit from the break-in fairy near the piers. Daytime, nighttime—no immunity! Pro tip: Leave no treasures in your vehicle. I'd suggest parking at a Fisherman's Wharf hotel or even crashing there; it's a stone's throw from Alcatraz. Oh, and this tour company was right—renting a car was a slippery move. Those hilly streets can be a wallet buster with parking fees hitting a wild $80 a day!

All said and done, it was a blast, and I'd shout from the rooftops—I mean, review pages—about this tour to anyone hitting up San Francisco!

"Unforgettable Adventures: Alcatraz, Muir Woods, and Beyond!"

What a day we had! Our gang embarked on an epic journey exploring Alcatraz, Muir Woods, and the charming Sausalito, and it was nothing short of unforgettable. First off, Muir Woods—those colossal redwoods left us absolutely spellbound. The hike to Bridge 4 and along the less-crowded creek was like stepping into a forest wonderland. The fog kept us from Muir Beach, but no worries, we had a delightful lunch break in Sausalito instead. That seaside town? Pure magic! Alcatraz and San Francisco made for stunning views.

Alcatraz stole the spotlight! Trust us, it's a must-see in the Bay Area. We lucked out with a combo tour inclusive of Alcatraz tickets. Heed our advice: budget a good 2-3 hours to soak in the prison and island vibes—inside and out. Oh, and bring those cozy layers because Alcatraz Island can get a bit nippy and breezy.

Quick tip: Pay attention to your ferry—specific boats are ticket-specific. However, on the way back, any ferry from Alcatraz to San Fran will do. Heads up, though—no munching allowed on the island, so pack some water or grab a bite from the ferry snack bar. And let me tell you, the ferry ride? Epic skyline views—Bay Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, and the cityscape.

The Alcatraz audio tour? Superb! But if you're COVID-conscious, download the Alcatraz app for your own phone tour. Kudos to the staff—they were super on it with the cleaning protocols for the audio gadgets.

All in all, a day to remember! Muir Woods' beauty paired with Alcatraz's gripping history? The ultimate duo for an epic San Francisco adventure. You won't regret it—promise!

“A Lovely Family Trip to Alcatraz from San Francisco”

Our family's jaunt to Alcatraz Island was a total game-changer during our San Francisco adventure! Cruising on that ferry to the island was like getting a backstage pass to the city's stunning skyline and the sparkling bay. Once we set foot on the island, we grabbed our audio tour sets, all set for our adventure.

Let me tell you, that audio tour? It was like a storytelling magic show! We were glued to our headsets, soaking in all the jaw-dropping tales about the prison's history and the legendary characters who called it home. Our kiddos were gobsmacked hearing about those daring escape tales—it was like they were on a treasure hunt for secrets around every corner!

But wait, there's more! We didn't just stick to the cells; oh no, we were island explorers! The lighthouse? Check. The gardens? Check. Each nook and cranny felt like a page from a gripping storybook.

And the cherry on top? Walking through the prison yard was surreal! Standing where the legends once stood, taking in those epic views of the city and the bay—it was a picture-perfect moment that took our breath away.

Honestly, our entire gang had a blast on Alcatraz Island. It's a must-do if you're in San Francisco with kids. The blend of history, nature, and those knockout views? It's etched in our memory box as one of those 'forever' experiences.

"Maravillosa Aventura: Muir Woods y Alcatraz, ¡Increíbles!"

¡Mi día en el Monumento Nacional Muir Woods y la Isla de Alcatraz fue sencillamente increíble! El recorrido con audio en Alcatraz fue fascinante y valió totalmente cada centavo invertido para explorar esa prisión llena de historia. Aunque algunos edificios y áreas estaban cerrados por la temporada de anidación de aves, aún quedaba mucho por descubrir dentro y fuera de la prisión. ¡Sugiero llevar zapatos resistentes para caminar, ya que hay algunas subidas empinadas!

A pesar de que Alcatraz fue asombroso, lo más sobresaliente de nuestra aventura fue el paseo con Adam en el Monumento Nacional Muir Woods. ¡Es asombroso ver esos majestuosos secuoyas que tienen más de un siglo! También te recomiendo hacer una parada en una casa flotante en Sausalito si te apasiona la fotografía de paisajes. ¡Es un lugar simplemente hermoso!

Los guardaparques fueron extremadamente amigables y bien informados. Sin embargo, algunas áreas en Alcatraz pueden llenarse en ciertos momentos, y parecía que algunas personas no entendían bien cómo formarse adecuadamente, usar mascarilla o mantener la distancia social. A pesar de eso, en general lo pasamos genial.

Adam, nuestro guía, ¡fue excepcional! Hablaba español con fluidez y tenía un conocimiento impresionante sobre la zona. Si tienes la oportunidad, ¡te recomiendo mucho hacer un recorrido con él! En resumen, mi día en el Monumento Nacional Muir Woods y la Isla de Alcatraz fue inolvidable. ¡Si estás en San Francisco, definitivamente no te puedes perder esta excursión de un día!

"Alcatraz and Muir Woods: A Day of Unforgettable Adventures"

Our day was packed with adventures! We began at Muir Woods and Sausalito, then hopped over to Alcatraz Island on the combo tour. The audio tour felt like having our own personal guide, unveiling the rich history of these places. It was incredibly detailed, taking us through all the nooks and crannies while sharing stories from former inmates and guards. The tour guide was super cool, walking us through the Muir Woods Forest, hiking with us at the Muir Beach overlook, and uncovering hidden gems like the houseboat community in Sausalito.

After Pier 39 dropped us off, we caught the 2:15 pm boat to Alcatraz. The staff there were fantastic, going the extra mile to dive deeper into the history—totally unexpected and awesome! Alcatraz itself was a treasure trove of stories and beautiful spots, on and off the usual paths. And can I just say, the boat ride there was a blast—smooth sailing all the way!

Pro tip: Kickstart your tour with Muir Woods Park. Mornings are tranquil with fewer crowds—a peaceful escape that’s not to be missed!

"Exploring Muir Woods Park and Alcatraz Island—A Mind-Blowing Adventure!"

Venturing into Muir Woods Park and Alcatraz Island blew our expectations out of the water. Muir Woods was an unexpected gem, and the park's natural beauty was like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. A serene and picturesque haven, it's a must-visit for anyone seeking tranquility amidst stunning landscapes.

Alcatraz Island was a star in its own right. The buzz and excitement surrounding the island were infectious, and the two-hour deep dive into its history with the audio tour was a real treat. While we wished to explore more renovated structures, the tour itself was an intriguing dive into the island's captivating past. The boat ride to the island was a refreshing bonus, complemented perfectly by the splendid weather.

Delving into the nitty-gritty of prisoners' daily lives, from dining spots to yard routines, was an eye-opener. And let's not forget the island's offerings in food and drinks—quite the added perk! The island staff's friendly demeanor and helpfulness added an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience. For anyone wandering through San Francisco, Muir Woods Park and Alcatraz Island are non-negotiable stops on the itinerary. It's not just history lessons but an ode to the region's natural splendor—a blend of both that's hard to find elsewhere.

Original review in Spanish: ¡Muir Woods y la Isla Alcatraz: una aventura que nos dejó boquiabiertos! Adentrarse en el Parque Muir Woods y la Isla Alcatraz superó todas nuestras expectativas. Muir Woods resultó ser una joya inesperada, con una belleza natural que parecía un tesoro escondido esperando a ser descubierto. Un refugio sereno y pintoresco, es visita obligada para cualquiera que busque tranquilidad en medio de paisajes impresionantes.

La Isla Alcatraz brilló por sí sola. El ambiente y la emoción que rodean la isla eran contagiosos, y sumergirse durante dos horas en su historia con el tour de audio fue un verdadero placer. Aunque nos hubiera gustado explorar más estructuras renovadas, el tour en sí fue una inmersión intrigante en el cautivador pasado de la isla. El paseo en barco hacia la isla fue un bono refrescante, complementado perfectamente por el espléndido clima.

Adentrarnos en los detalles de la vida diaria de los prisioneros, desde los lugares para comer hasta las rutinas en el patio, fue revelador. ¡Y no olvidemos las opciones de comida y bebida en la isla, todo un lujo adicional! La actitud amigable y servicial del personal de la isla agregó un extra de disfrute a nuestra experiencia.

Para cualquiera que esté de paseo por San Francisco, el Parque Muir Woods y la Isla Alcatraz son paradas obligatorias en el itinerario. No se trata solo de lecciones de historia, sino un homenaje a la espléndida belleza natural de la región, una combinación difícil de encontrar en otro lugar.

Alcatraz Adventure, Muir Woods & Sausalito Stroll: A Day of Discovery

What a day at Alcatraz! Walking through the prison at our own pace, listening to that audio tour—it was seriously gripping. Learning about the history and the stories in those walls? Totally spellbinding. You could really feel how cramped those cells were for the inmates. And the island's beauty and the views of San Francisco? They added this whole extra level of wonder.

Before Alcatraz, we hit up Muir Woods & Sausalito—a cute town with tons of cool shops, cafes, and amazing places to eat. We had some incredible seafood at the local restaurants, a total treat for our taste buds. Roaming around, checking out shops, grabbing a few souvenirs—it all just added to the fun. This trip had a bit of everything: history, natural beauty, and that local charm. The tour was so well-organized, giving us plenty of free time to soak up every moment. It made for a day we won't forget.

Tip: Bring extra layers for the cool afternoon at Alcatraz and pack some snacks since there's no food available there!

"Histórias na Trilha: Aventura em Alcatraz e Muir Woods"

Na semana passada, nossa aventura para Alcatraz e Muir Woods foi sensacional, um verdadeiro mimo do norte da Califórnia. Se você estiver dando uma passada por San Francisco, não consigo falar o bastante sobre reservar o passeio combinado de Alcatraz e Muir Woods. Esses dois lugares são completamente diferentes e são uma experiência e tanto ao vivo. A reserva foi super fácil, e o passeio em si foi muito bem organizado. E, cara, o Leo, nosso guia, foi sensacional. Ele tornou tudo incrivelmente animado e prestativo, duplicando a diversão.

Muir Woods foi como entrar num mundo encantado na floresta, caminhar ao lado do Leo por horas, explorar as profundezas da mata, até encarar a trilha do dossel. Aquela caminhada de 3 milhas? Pura magia para apreciar as paisagens de tirar o fôlego, especialmente enquanto caminhávamos até o Mirante de Muir Beach pela Pacific Coast Highway. Está gravado na minha memória para sempre.

Depois da caminhada, corremos para o Salito's Crab House & Prime Rib, nos deliciando com carnes e frutos do mar fresquinhos e suculentos. Uma refeição digna de campeões antes da nossa escapada para Alcatraz.

E Alcatraz? Duas histórias em uma. O passeio pelo "rochedo"? Fascinante e informativo. O áudio da Casa de Celas? Completíssimo. Mas espera, tem mais! O Pátio de Recreação, a Casa do Diretor, o Clube dos Oficiais, a Torre de Água e aquelas exposições de arte indígena, são como tesouros escondidos esperando para serem descobertos. E ah, as vistas do skyline e da Ponte Golden Gate? Respira fundo, absorve tudo isso — pura beleza de tirar o fôlego antes de voltar para o continente.

No geral, essa viagem de um dia foi a cereja no topo da minha escapada pelo norte da Califórnia. Se você está louco por uma imersão autêntica na natureza e uma oportunidade de explorar dois parques incríveis, se prepare e reserve o passeio combinado de Alcatraz e Muir Woods. Acredite em mim, é uma aventura que você vai guardar para sempre.

In English: Trailblazing Tales: Alcatraz & Muir Woods Adventure"

“Last week, our adventure to Alcatraz and Muir Woods was an absolute gem, a real Northern California treat. If you're swinging by San Francisco, I cannot rave enough about booking the Alcatraz and Muir Woods combo tour. These two spots are utterly distinct and pack a punch in person. Booking was a breeze, and the tour itself was well-oiled. And oh, Leo, our tour guide, was a superstar. He made the whole affair incredibly lively and accommodating, doubling the fun.

Muir Woods was like stepping into a forest wonderland, hiking alongside Leo for hours, delving into the depths of the woods, even conquering the canopy trail. That 3-mile loop? Pure magic for soaking in the jaw-dropping scenery, especially as we hiked up to Muir Beach overlook along the Pacific Coast Highway. It's etched in my memory forever.

Post-hike, we dashed over to Salito's Crab House & Prime Rib, sinking our teeth into some fresh, succulent meat and seafood. A meal fit for champions before our Alcatraz escapade. Now, Alcatraz? Two tales in one. The "rock" tour? Riveting and informative. The Cell House audio? Utterly thorough. But wait, there's more! The Recreation Yard, the Warden's Home, the Officer's Club, the Water Tower, and those Native American art exhibits, they're like hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. And oh, the skyline views and the Golden Gate Bridge vistas? Take a breath, soak it all in—pure breathtaking beauty before you head back to the mainland.

Overall, this day trip was the cherry on top of my Northern California escapade. If you're hankering for an authentic dive into the wild and an opportunity to explore two jaw-dropping parks, buckle up and book the Alcatraz and Muir Woods combo tour. Trust me, it's an adventure you'll cherish forever.”

A Great Way to Visit Two Iconic Places in One Day Trip

Muir Woods was definitely our favorite part of this trip, and we highly recommend it. Although it initially seemed like a "tourist trap," the experience of touring Alcatraz prison was surprisingly interesting. Even during the daytime, the place was a bit spooky, and our kids loved the horror of it. The boat trip also provided a great view of the city hills and landmarks. 

The combo tour of the city and Alcatraz was worth the time and money, especially if you have limited time in the Bay Area. Note that while signs say no food and drink can be brought on the Alcatraz ferry, no one checked for this, and we were able to bring some snacks for the kids to eat on the island.

We were amazed by the sharp contrast between the inside of Alcatraz Island and the lively views of the bustling city of San Francisco. It must have been incredibly depressing for Alcatraz inmates to see such a stark difference from behind the bars. All in all, this was a great way to visit two iconic places in one day trip. Muir Woods was definitely our favorite part of the trip and is highly recommended.

This review has been translated from Danish:

Muir Woods var vores favoritdel af denne tur og kan absolut anbefales. Selvom det i starten virkede som en "turistfælde", var oplevelsen af at besøge Alcatraz-fængslet overraskende interessant. Selv om det var midt på dagen, var stedet lidt uhyggeligt, og vores børn elskede det skræmmende ved det. Bådtur var også fantastisk og gav en god udsigt over byens bakker og vartegn.

Den kombinerede tur til byen og Alcatraz var tiden og pengene værd, især hvis du har begrænset tid i Bay Area. Bemærk, at selvom der står, at mad og drikkevarer ikke må medbringes på Alcatraz-færgen, blev der ikke tjekket for dette, og vi kunne tage nogle snacks med til børnene. Vi var imponerede over den skarpe kontrast mellem indersiden af Alcatraz Island og de livlige udsigter over den travle by San Francisco. Det må have været utroligt deprimerende for Alcatraz-fangerne at se en så markant forskel bag tremmerne. Alt i alt var dette en fantastisk måde at besøge to ikoniske steder på en dagstur. Muir Woods var absolut vores favoritdel af turen og kan stærkt anbefales.

Forfait sans souci avec les visites de Muir Woods et Alcatraz

Nous avions une demande essentielle : un guide francophone. Et c'est là qu'intervient Buddy, notre guide américain extraordinaire, maîtrisant le français parfaitement et regorgeant de connaissances. Nos visites ? Elles ont été tout simplement sensationnelles !

En premier lieu, la visite de deux jours à Yosemite avec un hôtel douillet ajouté au programme. Faites-nous confiance, Yosemite est tout simplement magique ! Chaque centime en vaut la peine, mais préparez-vous à un trajet de quatre heures aller-retour depuis San Francisco. Imaginez ceci : Monterey et Carmel, des joyaux côtiers charmants qui nous ont rappelé la Bretagne en France.

Puis, Alcatraz. Le débat ultime parmi nous : certains étaient totalement absorbés, se plongeant dans l'histoire et le mystère, tandis que d'autres ont trouvé que c'était un peu surévalué. Eh bien, chacun ses goûts, n'est-ce pas ?

Mais parlons des moments forts ! Yosemite a volé la vedette. Majestueux, impressionnant, et tout simplement inoubliable ! Ce parc national a soufflé nos esprits et est devenu la pierre précieuse de nos vacances en Californie. Donc, si vous êtes prêt pour une série d'aventures, ces visites sont faites pour vous. Rappelez-vous juste, Yosemite pourrait bien voler votre cœur et vous laisser avec une envie de plus !"

Charged Up: Unveiling the City Buzz and Alcatraz Adventure!

Our city escapade with Mary, a spirited San Francisco native of Irish descent, was an absolute blast! She zipped us around secret spots and iconic sights, unraveling the city's hidden treasures within a mere four hours. Without her, we'd have been lost in a maze of missed wonders!

At Hill Stone, a cozy American-style joint near the Alcatraz ferry zone, we lunched and Mary dished out tips for our upcoming Alcatraz walkabout. She also hooked Dad up with the 'Alcatraz SEAT'—an electric tram for folks needing a lift to the prison entrance. Genius!

Stepping onto Alcatraz Island sent shivers down our spines—the eerie vibes from the prison ruins were downright spine-chilling! Initially unsettling, the mystery of the ruins soon lured us in. Each nook and cranny we explored had us feeling like real-life adventurers. It's a thrill you've got to discover for yourself!

Verdict? The city and Alcatraz combo are worth every penny! With Mary as your guide, you'll soak up the best of San Fran before embarking on the unforgettable Alcatraz journey. No ticket hassles either—snagging those Alcatraz passes can be tougher than finding treasure! For the ultimate San Francisco adventure, this tour is the real deal.

"Exploring Alcatraz : San Francisco's Riveting Historical Journey"

Our San Francisco and Muir Woods tour with Buddy was an absolute blast! Buddy led the city tour, making it both enjoyable and informative. Then, we ventured independently to Alcatraz and had a fantastic self-guided tour; the audio was exceptionally well done.

Additionally, we did a wine tour and Muir Woods excursion with the same company, both expertly conducted by Buddy. The day before it was an absolute joy, and both tours were guided by him.

This experience added so much fun and enjoyment to our vacation. We highly recommend this company—the tours were well-organized and conducted with excellence. Buddy's guidance made our time unforgettable!"

Best San Francisco Alcatraz combo Tour!

Get those tickets pronto! Initially eyeing the night tour for Alcatraz, but you know what they say—those tickets vanish quicker than a San Francisco fog! So, day tour it was, and let me tell you, not too shabby at all. Besides diving into the mind-blowing tale of Alcatraz, the trip to the island itself is off-the-charts phenomenal. And to top it off, the city tour? Total game-changer, completing the entire package with a dash of super interesting.

That island adventure and the tales it spins? They're like a rollercoaster ride—exciting, a tad eerie, and oh so fascinating! Stay tuned for more tales from the City by the Bay!

Alcatraz and San Francisco - the best part of our vacation in California

This is an incredible tourist attraction. We did the tour with our kids, and they loved it too. The audio tour was well done, we took tons of photos and enjoyed the views of the city from Alcatraz Island. The views from Alcatraz are spectacular.  Alcatraz and San Francisco - the best part of our vacation in California. This is an incredible tourist attraction.

Fascinating combo tour of San Francisco  & Alcatraz 

Here's the scoop: pre-booking those Alcatraz tickets is a must-do before hitting up San Francisco! I mean, you just can't be in this city and miss out on the Alcatraz prison action, am I right? So, picture this: a combo tour that's basically a two-for-one deal—Alcatraz and the city all wrapped up in a time-saving package. Trust me, it's a game-changer! Now, let me spill the beans about this tour—it was way cooler than I ever imagined! We boarded the Alcatraz ferry at San Francisco's Pier 33, and as we reached the dock on Alcatraz Island, this park ranger dude welcomed us with the lowdown on the do's and don'ts. The prison itself? Old, yeah. Dingy, for sure. But oh boy, fascinating! And that audio tour? Absolute gold! It's like stepping into a history book, but with way cooler sound effects. So, yeah, it's a must-do in my book. Old, eerie vibes aside, Alcatraz is the real deal for history buffs and adventure seekers alike. Stay tuned for more tales from the city by the bay!

(Original review in Spanish ): ¡Vaya, aquí está la historia! Reservar con antelación es clave si quieres asegurarte los tickets para Alcatraz antes de visitar San Francisco. En serio, no puedes estar en esta ciudad y perderte la experiencia de la prisión de Alcatraz, ¿verdad? Imagínate esto: un tour combinado que es como dos en uno, ¡Alcatraz y la ciudad, todo en un paquete que ahorra tiempo! Créeme, ¡es todo un cambio de juego!

Déjame contarte sobre este tour: fue mucho más impresionante de lo que imaginaba. Subimos al ferry a Alcatraz en el Muelle 33 de San Francisco, y al llegar al muelle de la Isla de Alcatraz, un guardaparques nos dio toda la información sobre qué hacer y qué no. ¿La prisión en sí? Antigua, sí. Un poco lúgubre, claro. ¡Pero vaya, qué fascinante! Y ¿el tour de audio? Una joya absoluta. Es como adentrarte en un libro de historia, pero con efectos de sonido mucho más guays. Así que, sí, es una visita obligada para mí. A pesar de las vibes antiguas y misteriosas, Alcatraz es la opción perfecta para los amantes de la historia y los aventureros.

¡Estad atentos para más historias de la ciudad junto a la bahía!

I highly recommend this tour company when Alcatraz tickets are sold out

Trust me, this tour company is your lifesaver when Alcatraz tickets vanish! We snagged the combo tour via Alcatraz Tours when the solo Alcatraz slots were completely booked. What a treat! The ferry ride circling Alcatraz and Angel Island was delightful—Alcatraz is a stunner! The audio tour? Loved it! It painted a vivid picture of Alcatraz's history and its infamous residents. It hit the sweet spot—packed with info without getting dull. 'Alcatraz Tours Inc.' is the real deal. When Alcatraz tickets are as rare as gold dust, they've got a stash of pre-purchased tickets, and their private city tour? Oh, a definite 5-star gem! Worth every single penny.

Una Experiencia de 5 Estrellas en San Francisco y Alcatraz Tour

Our travel agent in Veracruz Mexico booked the San Francisco tour package with hotel accommodation included. However, the online tour agency with which we originally  booked our Alcatraz and Muir Woods package  turned out to be a fraud, a fiasco, a company with little reliability, we were calling by phone and we have never been able to get through, they are locate overseas! 

Two days before leaving our country, our Alcatraz tours were canceled at the last minute and there was no way to get tickets for Alcatraz or any of the destinations because they were sold out.

Fortunately, we found this local company Alcatraz Tours Inc: www.alcatraztoursf.com  and this was the only tour operator that could help us with our last minute reservations, they provided us with excellent customer service and always responded promptly in Spanish, and they even assigned us a Spanish tour guide:  our both excursions were totally private and in Spanish, our tour guides were incredible, very professional, attentive and cordial and the best of all is that the agency also got us the tickets  to visit  Alcatraz Island and also for the Redwoods Muir Woods Park despite this last-minute booking. 

We also took advantage and went to Sonoma Valley and Marín County with them. This Company offers best tours and many options to choose from for all travelers;  they are very professional, and they go out of their way to offer to please their customers.

All the other websites we found were resellers or fake or they were not even located in California, none of them bothered to answer our phone calls or emails,  and neither did they offer guided tours in Spanish.  MY best advice for everyone, look for Local Operators and avoid websites and companies that are not in San Francisco! This Tour Operator is underrated and deserves more credit for their excellent customer service. 

Servicios Turístico de 5 estrellas: Tranquilidad en manos de profesionales.

Nuestro agente de viajes en Veracruz México nos reservó el paquete turístico de San Francisco con alojamiento en hotel incluido. Sin embargo, la agencia de tours en línea con la que reservó nuestros paquetes de Alcatraz y Muir Woods resultó ser un fraude, un fiasco, una empresa con poca confiabilidad, estuvimos llamando por teléfono y nunca nos hemos podido contactar con ellos.

A dos días antes de salir de nuestro país, a última hora nos cancelaron nuestros tours de Alcatraz y ya no había forma de conseguir los boletos para Alcatraz ni para ninguno de los destinos porque estaban agotados.

Afortunadamente, encontramos esta empresa local Alcatraz Tours Inc. Y esta fue el único Operador de turismo que pudo ayudarnos con nuestras reservaciones de último minuto, nos brindaron un excelente servicio al cliente y seguimiento continuo y rápido en idioma español, e incluso nos asignaron un guía bilingüe privado, nuestras dos excursiones fueron en nuestro propio idioma en español , nuestros guías turísticos fueron increíbles muy profesionales, atentos y cordiales y lo mejor de todo es que la agencia también nos consiguieron los tickets de entradas para la isla de Alcatraz y también para el parque de muir woods de redwoods. También aprovechamos y conocimos Sonoma Valley y el condado de Marín con ellos. Esta Empresa ofrece trato directo, son muy profesionales y se desviven por ofrecer un buen trabajo.

Todos los otros sitios webs que encontrábamos eran revendedores o falsos o ni siquiera estaban ubicados en California, ninguno de ellos se molestaron en responder nuestras llamadas telefónicas y tampoco ninguno de ellos ofrecía visitas guiadas en servicio privado y en español.

MI mejor consejo para todos, busquen Operadores Locales y evite sitios webs y compañías que no se encuentran en San Francisco. Este Operador Turístico lo calificamos con 5 + estrellas por su excelente trato personal, rapidez en contestar nuestras preguntas e inquietudes, personal de primera muy amables, y los recomendados al 100% con los ojos cerrados a todos.

Alcatraz At Night? Totally Spooky! 🌙!

We embarked on a thrilling journey from San José, Costa Rica, all the way to San Francisco, California, with dreams of exploring Alcatraz Island and Yosemite National Park. At first, finding a Spanish-speaking guide for Yosemite and its magnificent sequoias seemed like an impossible task. But then, we stumbled upon this incredible tour company. They not only arranged a private Spanish-guided tour of Yosemite but also surprised us with last-minute tickets to the night tour of Alcatraz Island – tickets that were seemingly impossible to find elsewhere. The booking agent spoke fluent Spanish, was incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond to secure our Alcatraz adventure on such short notice.

We're immensely grateful for their outstanding customer service and the extra mile they went to secure those Alcatraz tickets for us. The night tour was a bit eerie, but captivating. The US park rangers led us through the prison, sharing enthralling tales of Alcatraz's history and its famous inmates like Al Capone, not to mention the intriguing story of 'The Escape from Alcatraz' - 'El misterio de la fuga de Alcatraz'. It was an unforgettable experience, thanks to their thoughtful arrangements. Lucia and Yolanda M. Vasquez from San Jose, Costa Rica

Spanish: Nos embarcamos en una emocionante travesía desde San José, Costa Rica, hasta San Francisco, California, con sueños de explorar la Isla de Alcatraz y el Parque Nacional Yosemite. Al principio, encontrar un guía que hablara español para Yosemite y sus magníficas secuoyas parecía una tarea imposible. Pero luego, nos topamos con esta increíble compañía de tours. No solo organizaron un recorrido privado en español por Yosemite, sino que también nos sorprendieron con entradas de última hora para el tour nocturno de la Isla de Alcatraz, boletos que parecían imposibles de encontrar en otro lugar. La agente de reservas hablaba español con fluidez, era increíblemente amable y se esforzó al máximo para asegurar nuestra aventura en Alcatraz con tan poco tiempo de anticipación.

Estamos inmensamente agradecidos por su excelente servicio al cliente y el esfuerzo adicional que hicieron para asegurar esos boletos de Alcatraz para nosotros. El tour nocturno fue un poco inquietante, pero cautivador. Los guardaparques de Estados Unidos nos guiaron a través de la prisión, compartiendo relatos fascinantes sobre la historia de Alcatraz y sus famosos reclusos como Al Capone, además de la intrigante historia de 'La Fuga de Alcatraz' - 'El misterio de la fuga de Alcatraz'. Fue una experiencia inolvidable, gracias a sus consideradas gestiones

"Alcatraz After Dark: Unveiling Nighttime Mysteries!"

"Visiting Alcatraz Island for the night tour was an unforgettable experience. My nephew Darren and I, coming all the way from Cleveland, Ohio, were thrilled to explore this iconic site after dark. The ranger talk and guided tour added a whole new dimension to our visit. The depth of historical information shared was impressive, and experiencing the island's ambiance at night was both eerie and captivating.

Booking last-minute tickets for the night tour was a challenge, considering how quickly they sell out. The Alcatraz Tours staff went above and beyond to secure our tickets, and their assistance was invaluable. Their dedication ensured we didn't miss out on this exceptional opportunity.

The atmosphere on the island at night was truly unique. It added an extra layer of mystery and intrigue to the visit. Walking through the cells, hearing stories of past inmates, and getting insights from the guides made the experience incredibly immersive.

I highly recommend the Alcatraz night tour to anyone visiting San Francisco. It's not just a visit to a historical site; it's a journey into the darker, lesser-known side of Alcatraz's history. A huge thank you to the staff for making our visit a highlight of our trip!"

I Highly Recommend This Combination Alcatraz & City Tour

I highly recommend this fantastic combination of visiting Alcatraz and the city. We booked our Alcatraz and San Francisco tour through Alcatraz Tours. When we wanted to visit Alcatraz prison, everything was fully booked, but this local travel agency really went the extra mile to help us with a last-minute reservation despite the hurdles. All the other websites we tried were bogus or not even based in California! None of them bothered to answer our calls. I genuinely recommend this combined Alcatraz-city tour and this tour operator. It's absolutely worth it.

French : Je vous recommande vivement cette formidable combinaison de visite d'Alcatraz et de la ville. Nous avons réservé notre circuit Alcatraz et San Francisco via Alcatraz Tours. Lorsque nous avons voulu visiter la prison d'Alcatraz, tout était complet, mais cette agence de voyage locale a été incroyable pour nous aider avec une réservation de dernière minute malgré les obstacles. Tous les autres sites web que nous avons testés étaient inefficaces ou même pas situés en Californie ! Aucun n'a répondu à nos appels. Je vous encourage vraiment à choisir cette visite combinée Alcatraz-ville et cet opérateur touristique. Ça vaut vraiment le coup

Alcatraz Night Tour !

We sorted our Alcatraz night jol with Alcatraz Tours back in February, but we only hit San Francisco vibes late in May. And thank the lucky stars we did, 'cause by March, all them Alcatraz night trips were fully booked! Our ferry ride to Alcatraz Island was pretty smooth, just a quick 20-minute cruise. Gotta say, that night tour of the slammer was quite a vibe. Nope, no creepiness at all.

Word of advice – dress smart, bring layers; it can get mighty chilly and foggy out there.

Alcatraz Prison Night Tour is Awesome

My wife and I snagged our Alcatraz prison tickets online, bundled with a delightful trip to Napa Valley wineries. We're big beer fans, but we craved a change, so we dove into red and white wines in the beautiful Napa wine country. After a day filled with flavors, we cruised back to San Francisco, dropped off at Pier 33, all set for our Alcatraz adventure.

The Alcatraz night tour was a must for us, even before touching down in California. The excitement bubbled up as we reached the ferry lines. Setting off at 3:50 pm, the night tour boat treated us to stunning views of San Francisco and the majestic Golden Gate Bridge. On the island, park rangers organized groups for the night tour, each starting at different times. They even have trams for those avoiding uphill walks, no extra cost needed. The self-guided tour narration was super informative and kept us on our toes.

We'd totally recommend the Alcatraz prison night tour to every traveler. Although, the bummer was that parts of the island shut down at night unlike during the day tour. I suppose it's their way of keeping things in check, considering they allow only one group per night. This tour company's a winner, folks. Trust me, you won't be let down.

Alcatraz Night Tour with Our Kids - Excellent & Worth Every Penny

We had a fantastic experience booking the night tour with Alcatraz Tours. It was impressively organized and informative. The insights we gained about Alcatraz prison during the night tour were valuable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it, even for families with kids. Comfortable, flat walking shoes and extra layers are a must as the island can get chilly. I'd also suggest bringing a flashlight and an extra phone charger. It made for an excellent trip for the whole family, definitely worth the money and time.

Our Night Tour Experience of the Rock “Alcatraz”

"My wife and I had a fantastic time on the night tour of Alcatraz prison, guided by a local volunteer. The ferry ride was swift, offering stunning views of the San Francisco skyline and iconic bridges. The US park rangers were incredibly helpful, engaging, and full of insightful information. The audio-guided tour added depth to the experience, making it thoroughly enjoyable."

Wonderful night tour experience like a “fairy tale”.

What a remarkable night tour filled with captivating history and intriguing stories! Alcatraz isn't your typical jailbreak scenario—escaping from 'The Rock' seems like an extraordinary feat. Reflecting on how challenging it must have been for those three guys to vanish from Alcatraz at night is akin to a gripping fairy tale, with just the right amount of spookiness. The tour's pacing was perfectly balanced, adding to the overall well-executed experience.

Great way to see Alcatraz & San Francisco !!

"Wow, what an unexpected treat! Our one-day tour turned into a whirlwind adventure through San Francisco. Jon, our guide, was a gem—friendly, chock-full of info, and so accommodating. Thanks a bunch for making our day unforgettable! I can't stress enough how much I'd recommend this tour.

La Isla de Alcatraz es excepcional, pero reserva tus boletos con antelación

El tour a la Isla de Alcatraz es excepcional y la prisión es un lugar impresionante. Esta es mi atracción favorita en el Área de la Bahía de San Francisco. Reserva tus boletos para el ferry de Alcatraz con anticipación, ya que estos valiosos boletos se agotan semanas y meses antes; nosotros reservamos nuestros boletos para Alcatraz dos meses antes. Las compañías turísticas claramente ya no pueden vender boletos individuales para Alcatraz, así que tuvimos que reservar los boletos para la prisión combinados con un tour por la ciudad. Nuestro guía turístico, Jonathan, fue increíble y divertido. Recomendamos encarecidamente este combo tour sin problemas. Es divertido, informativo y emocionante, y vale cada centavo. Debo decir que la energía y la impresión que obtienes al visitar Alcatraz es algo que necesitas experimentar por ti mismo. Jose B. Barrios, Guatemala

The Enigmatic Charm of Alcatraz Island

From our city tour to Alcatraz Island, our family had an incredible adventure. It's quite chilly in San Francisco Bay, even during the summer. However, we were fascinated by the criminology and forensic stories linked to Alcatraz and San Quentin prisons. Names like Charles Manson, the Zodiac, Fong “Little Pete” Ching, Zebra killers, Felix Mitchell, the Unabomber, Scott Peterson, and the famous 'Escape from Alcatraz' by Clarence and John Anglin and Frank Morris were captivating! Stepping off the ferry onto Alcatraz Island evokes a mix of eerie yet thrilling sensations. It might be a bit creepy, but it’s undeniably exciting and intriguing.

From Dutch : “De Intrigerende Sfeer van Alcatraz Eiland"

“Van onze stadstour tot Alcatraz Eiland hadden onze familie een ongelofelijk avontuur. Het is behoorlijk fris in de baai van San Francisco, zelfs in de zomer. Desondanks raakten we gefascineerd door de criminologische en forensische verhalen verbonden aan Alcatraz en San Quentin gevangenissen. Namen als Charles Manson, de Zodiac, Fong “Little Pete” Ching, de Zebra-moordenaars, Felix Mitchell, de Unabomber, Scott Peterson, en de beroemde 'Escape from Alcatraz' van Clarence en John Anglin en Frank Morris waren fascinerend! Bij het uitstappen van de veerboot op Alcatraz Eiland komen er zowel griezelige als opwindende gevoelens naar boven. Het kan een beetje eng zijn, maar het is ontegenzeggelijk opwindend en intrigerend.”

Alcatraz Tickets: Book Ahead for a Fantastic Experience in San Francisco

If you're planning a trip to San Francisco, lock in those Alcatraz tickets well ahead of time! It's a must-visit spot in Northern California and San Fran itself. On our ferry to Alcatraz, we met a South African police officer who had a layover at SFO. He joined us for the visit, and it was a blast! Remember to dress in layers; even in summer, the Bay Area can surprise you with cool and foggy weather. The views of Alcatraz from San Francisco are simply breathtaking. This combo tour was a game-changer, saving us both time and money. And a huge shoutout to Mary—what a fantastic tour guide! She had us in stitches with her jokes and stories about Alcatraz and San Francisco. The kids were hooked!

Alcatraz: A Must-See Gem Beyond Expectations

Alcatraz lives up to every bit of its Hollywood portrayal in those Frank Morris tales (you know, the Clint Eastwood flick about the legendary escape!). You'll spot those cells, just like in "Escape from Alcatraz," perfectly preserved. A trip to San Francisco without hitting Alcatraz? Incomplete! It took me two tries at Alcatraz tours to really soak in the incredible atmosphere. Stepping off that Alcatraz cruises ferry onto the dock? You feel the energy! Pairing it with this city tour was a stroke of genius, an exceptional combo that I'd recommend to all visitors.

Alcatraz and San Francisco: The Ultimate Stress-Free Adventure

We struck gold scoring tickets for Alcatraz! Snagged this all-in-one San Francisco package that bundled a guided tour with the Alcatraz experience – talk about a stress-free reservation that covered it all. For those tight on time, this combo trip was a lifesaver, ticking off the city's highlights while diving into the intriguing world of Alcatraz. It's a definite must-do when you're in the City by the Bay, worth every dime you shell out. Our guide hustled us up to the Alcatraz ferry terminal, sorted our tour vouchers, and bingo – we were handed our ferry passes. We squeezed in a quick bite at the Alcatraz cafe, Pier 33, nabbing some snacks before the ferry ride; Alcatraz doesn't offer food onboard, so come prepared!"

Alcatraz tour should be on everyone’s bucket-list

This is an incredible tourist attraction in the San Francisco Bay area. If you're planning to visit San Francisco, you have to add the Alcatraz prison tour to your bucket list; even more so than Muir Woods or Napa. The history of Alcatraz Island itself is a fascinating story, even before it was used as a federal prison. How did anyone manage to escape from this remote island and maximum-security prison? The audio-guided tour through headphones is informative; the stories and sounds of the prison officers make the tour so vivid and the history comes to life. I took amazing pictures to show my friends in Japan. This trip is wonderful and recommended even for solo travelers like myself.

Translated from Japanese: 「アルカトラズツアーは誰もが行きたい場所です

 

これはサンフランシスコ湾エリアの信じられないほどの観光名所です。サンフランシスコを訪れる予定の方は、ムーアウッズやナパよりも、アルカトラズ刑務所ツアーをバケットリストに追加する必要があります。アルカトラズ島自体の歴史は非常に興味深い物語で、連邦刑務所として使用される前から存在していました。どのようにして誰かがこの遠隔地にある最高警備刑務所から脱走したのでしょうか？オーディオガイド付きのヘッドフォンによるツアーは情報量が豊富で、刑務所の職員の話や音がツアーを非常にリアルにし、歴史が生き生きとしています。素晴らしい写真を撮って、日本の友人に見せました。この旅行は素晴らしく、私のような一人旅の人にもお勧めです。

“Great combo tour opportunity of Alcatraz prison”

This was our first visit to California and San Francisco. Our parents did a city tour and YOSEMITEERNIGH TRIP WITH THME LAST YEARS with this tour company and found out how hard it was to get Alcatraz tickets., Luckily, our tour guide Patricia, who was so professional and friendly, called the company and arranged last-minute tickets for us to visit Alcatraz Island. The experience lived up to our expectations and the reviews we had read about Alcatraz tours turned out to be so true. We recommend this combo tour to all families with kids like us, who have no time to scan through all these websites out there looking for ticket’s availability. This is a very serious and professional tour company, and they exceeded our expectations

San Francisco Alcatraz Duo Adventure

Lock in those Alcatraz tickets as soon as you set your sights on San Fran! Initially eyeing the Alcatraz Island night tour, we found it nearly impossible due to the limited slots. Nevertheless, the day tour turned out to be a stellar alternative. The enthralling tale behind Alcatraz prison is downright amazing and bundling it with a city tour was the cherry on top. This company was a breeze to deal with, from booking on their website to the day of the excursion. Plus, their tour guides? A perfect blend of fun and professionalism.

French: « Réservez ces billets pour Alcatraz dès que vous avez San Francisco en ligne de mire ! Au départ, nous avions l'œil sur la visite nocturne de l'île d'Alcatraz, mais nous avons trouvé cela presque impossible en raison du nombre limité de places. Néanmoins, la visite de jour s'est avérée être une alternative exceptionnelle. Le récit captivant derrière la prison d'Alcatraz est tout simplement incroyable, et l'associer à une visite de la ville était la cerise sur le gâteau. Cette société a été d'une grande simplicité, de la réservation sur leur site web au jour de l'excursion. Et leurs guides touristiques ? Un mélange parfait de plaisir et de professionnalisme. »

Top Notch 5-Star City Private Tour with Alcatraz Prison

Save yourself the hassle of hunting for Alcatraz tickets – book with this local tour outfit for an outstanding experience. We opted for the full-day San Francisco city tour by SUV and were blown away. Our guide, Pat, was an absolute gem, surpassing our expectations. The service was top-notch, and we can't recommend it enough!

We highly suggest the private city tour for the freedom to stop wherever you desire, exploring monuments and neighborhoods that are off-limits to bus tours. And as for Alcatraz, don't miss the audio guide—it's both fun and enlightening. You'll uncover a trove of intriguing information about this former jail.

"Ne perdez pas votre temps à chercher des billets et de la disponibilité pour Alcatraz. Réservez avec cette entreprise locale de visites, et vous ne serez pas déçu. Nous avons réservé la visite privée d'une journée de San Francisco en SUV. La visite de la ville a dépassé nos attentes et notre guide, Pat, a certainement assuré. Service superbe et hautement recommandé, vous serez entre de bonnes mains. Nous recommandons la visite privée de la ville où vous pouvez vous arrêter où vous voulez et visiter le monument ou le quartier de votre choix, là où les visites en bus sont limitées.

Fun day tour of San Francisco and Alcatraz

Okay, note to self: snag those Alcatraz tickets ahead of time! Let me tell you, this tour was way more awesome than I ever imagined. You start with this cool ferry ride from San Francisco Pier 33 straight to Alcatraz Island—where the adventure truly begins! Rainy and foggy weather? No problem! Didn't dampen the experience one bit. Everything was top-notch, organized to the T. The ranger who greeted us at the dock laid down the lowdown before we ventured into the former prison.

Pro tip: Snack alert! Grab a bite before you head to Alcatraz. They don't do food service on the island! And hey, you can chill there as long as you want, but don't get stuck missing the last ferry. They’re like clockwork, every 30 minutes or so.

So, Alcatraz... tough as nails, they say! I mean, how did all those big-shot criminals like Al Capone hack it? The audio tour's a gem, seriously, but if you've got the time, give it a second go. It’s a heap of info, might get a bit overwhelming for first-timers, though!

(Translated from Czech ): No tak, poznámka pro sebe: získej ty lístky na Alcatraz včas! Musím říct, že tenhle výlet byl úplně úžasnější, než jsem čekal. Začíná to úžasnou plavbou z San Francisca od mola 33 přímo na ostrov Alcatraz - a teprve tam se doopravdy začíná dobrodružství! A když pršelo a byla mlha? Bez problémů! To vůbec nezkazilo zážitek. Všechno bylo super, perfektně zorganizované. Strážce, který nás přivítal u mola, nám před vstupem do bývalé věznice všechno vysvětlil. Tip na památku: Napište si na seznam! Dejte si něco k snědku před cestou na Alcatraz. Na ostrově se jídlo nenabízí! A klidně se tam můžete potloukat, jak dlouho chcete, ale nespatřili byste nejraději poslední trajekt. Je pravidelný jako hodinky, každých asi 30 minut. No a Alcatraz… tvrdý jako kámen, říkají! Jak to jen zvládli ti všechny ty velké kriminálníci jako Al Capone? Audioprůvodce je fakt klenot, ale pokud máte čas, poslechněte si to znova. Je toho tolik, že to může být pro nováčky docela přemnožené!

Why Does Everyone Rave About Alcatraz Prison?

What's the big deal with the Alcatraz prison tour? It's dim, chilly, kinda grim, and packed with people. Honestly, we didn’t get what all the hype was about. It felt a bit overrated, to be frank. Why have criminals turned into these almost glamorized figures? Alcatraz isn’t exactly a star-studded attraction in our book! Some visitors were even seeking autographs from a former inmate—who does that? I guess it’s the criminology enthusiasts that get the appeal.

However, I'm giving a solid 4-star review—not for Alcatraz tours but for our city experience with the fantastic guide, Alan. He made our city tour super thrilling and enjoyable. Alan was incredibly accommodating, always attentive to our needs. The highlight? Stopping halfway down Lombard Street for some epic photos right in the middle of the street and the fortune cookies in Chinatown—now, that was a blast! Oh, and the ferry building? Foodies and wine lovers, take note! It’s a fantastic spot, and we had a blast there too.

Alcatraz and San Francisco: The Highlight of Our California Adventure!

Alcatraz Island is an absolute gem for tourists. Taking the tour with our kids was an incredible experience—they were totally into it! The audio tour was fantastic, and we couldn’t resist snapping tons of pictures while basking in the breathtaking views of the city from Alcatraz Island. Trust me, the views are nothing short of spectacular! Pro tip: head to the officers’ garden side for a killer view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Just be cautious on those ancient, steep steps—no railings! It’s an ode to the officers' spouses who once tended to all sorts of veggies here (the beauty within the beast).

In between city explorations, we made sure to carve out time for a visit to the California Academy of Sciences nestled in the Golden Gate Park. Seriously underrated! This museum is a hidden gem. With its world-class aquarium, planetarium, and natural history museum, it’s a paradise for curious minds of all ages. The guided tour, both indoors and on the rooftop, was an absolute delight, especially for our little ones. Highly recommend it for families seeking an enriching experience.

Alcatraz prison tour was an unexpectedly fascinating experience!

Our journey to Alcatraz Island offered a genuinely intriguing glimpse into its history. Despite having some basic knowledge about Alcatraz, the tour offered a deeper, more authentic understanding of its story beyond what Hollywood portrays. The tour company impressed us with their efficient organization, from the city guided tour to the ferry procedures and providing audio tour headsets. Departure times were fixed, but the return was flexible, allowing us to explore at our own pace and dodge crowds with the self-guided audio tour. While some areas were closed off, the public spaces were open for exploration, offering ample freedom to wander. Keep in mind that reaching the prison entrance requires a bit of a hike up the road, with steps inside, possibly challenging for those with mobility issues. Thankfully, they provide a shuttle for accessibility. It's a definite must-visit spot, and pairing it with a San Francisco combo tour is a brilliant idea. It’s a short yet intriguing addition after the city tour. Special thanks to Alcatraz Tours and our fantastic guide, Victor, for their passion and knowledge. We’re grateful we chose a local tour rather than those messy global websites with zero customer service. Highly recommended!

Yeah, we did it! We made it to Alcatraz and escaped from the rock!

We did it! Made it to Alcatraz and 'escaped' from the rock! ✔️ Checked Alcatraz tour off our bucket list. We totally recommend this combo adventure of Alcatraz and the city tour. Stress-free from start to finish—we were picked up at our hotel, did the private city tour, and explored Alcatraz prison on our own. Worth every penny!

Great, humbling Alcatraz  Experience

What a must-see treat when you're cruising around the San Francisco Bay area! This adventure kicks off with a tailor-made city tour, hitting up all the city's finest spots and hidden gems. Then, buckle up for the ferry ride to Alcatraz—a visual feast awaits! Think panoramic views of the Bay, the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, and the striking SFO skyline. Pro tip: early bird gets the best ferry seats!

Touching down on the island, you're free to explore. My suggestion? Make a beeline for the top for the audio tour—it's a game-changer! Learn the ins and outs of prison life in the most incredible way possible. Once you've soaked up all that knowledge, take a stroll through the gardens and peek into the island's industries—it's fascinating!

Quick heads-up: the return ferry lines can get pretty snappy, so keep an eye out! But hey, enjoy those breathtaking views on the way back too—it's a double delight!

Snagging those Alcatraz tickets is no joke—often sold-out weeks ahead. We lucked out with these guys, accommodating our last-minute booking. Trustworthy local tour company right here, folks—highly recommended!

Alcatraz : Pack those layers, folks! Fun, Fog and wind await

My partner and I decided to treat our parents and in-laws to the ultimate double whammy: Alcatraz plus a city tour. Our crew of seven had an absolute blast, all thanks to our fantastic local guide. Talk about a goldmine of knowledge!

Cruising around in a private SUV beats the public bus tour any day—you get to hit up four times the sights! From Lombard Street to the painted ladies, China Beach to Fort Miley, and soaking in the Mission murals—yeah, we did it all. San Francisco? Absolutely stunning! And that Alcatraz island prison tour? A total game-changer for everyone.

Quick tip for fellow adventurers: nabbing those Alcatraz tickets? Tough as nails! Book 'em well in advance. Oh, and word to the wise: fill up before you board the Alcatraz ferry—no munchies available on the island.

Pack those layers, folks! Fog and wind await you in the heart of the San Fran Bay. Cheers to an unforgettable adventure!

A family safari adventure combined with San Francisco and Alcatraz

Embarking on a family safari adventure combined with the wonders of San Francisco and Alcatraz was an absolute game-changer for us.

We locked in this two-day tour package courtesy of Alcatraz Tours. Day one took us on a whirlwind exploration of San Francisco and a captivating visit to Alcatraz. Day two, however, was where the real wildness kicked in. Sonoma County welcomed us with open arms, offering a thrilling wild safari park experience.

Arriving around 10 am, our safari tour guide ushered us through the main entrance's fascinating realm, where exotic birds and untamed creatures roamed freely. Picture this: monkeys striking a pose, giraffes peering curiously, and flamingos flaunting their hues. A 45-minute walking tour treated us to these amazing sights, paving the way for the pièce de résistance—a safari-style jeep ride in a double-decker. Our kids were beyond thrilled; their excitement was infectious! The jeep tour spanned a breathtaking three hours, showcasing an exotic cast from monkeys, cheetahs, hippos, zebras, bobcats, flamingos, giraffes, to even parrots! It was a wildlife bonanza that left our family in awe. Highly recommended for families with kids—it's an adventure like no other!

Post-safari, our appetites led us to Napa for a delightful lunch, but the cherry on top? A visit to the Jelly Belly beans factory, sealing the day with a burst of sweetness!

A massive shoutout to our awesome guide, Buddy! He made the experience unforgettable with his passion and expertise.

Nightfall at Alcatraz: Spookily Spectacular or Just Oooh, Spooky?

So, guess who dared to venture into the eerie realm of the Alcatraz night tour? That's right, this curious soul right here! Let me spill the tea: it was an experience, alright! Some folks rave about it being this mind-blowing, out-of-this-world thing, but honestly, it was more on the "oooh, spooky" side rather than "hide under your blankets" scary.

I mean, don't get me wrong—it definitely had that creep-tastic vibe. Picture this: shadows lurking in the corners, the faint echoes of the past, and the whole shebang. But, hey, if you've got some fearless little adventurers tagging along (hello, kiddos), it might not send shivers down your spine. Think more along the lines of "wow, that's cool" rather than "I need a nightlight tonight." Now, if you ask me, I'm more of a daytime explorer. The sun's out, birds chirping, and you can soak up the Alcatraz history without the added spookiness. But hey, if you're up for a dash of thrill and a peek into the darker side of history, the night tour might just be your cup of tea. Or should I say, your shot of adrenaline!

(Original review in Spanish )

Anochecer en Alcatraz: ¿Espectacularmente Escalofriante o Simplemente Oooh, Espeluznante?

¡Adivina quién se atrevió a aventurarse en el reino misterioso del tour nocturno en Alcatraz? ¡Exacto, esta alma curiosa aquí! Permíteme contarte: ¡fue toda una experiencia! Algunos alaban esto como algo alucinante, fuera de este mundo, pero sinceramente, fue más del lado de "oooh, espeluznante" que de "esconderse bajo las sábanas" aterrador. O sea, no me malinterpretes, definitivamente tenía esa vibra tenebrosa. Imagina esto: sombras acechando en las esquinas, los ecos débiles del pasado y todo el asunto. Pero, eh, si tienes algunos intrépidos aventureros a tu lado (hola, chiquillos), quizás no te ponga la piel de gallina. Piensa más en plan "¡guau, qué chévere!" que en "necesito una luz nocturna esta noche".

Ahora bien, si me preguntas, yo soy más de explorar durante el día. Sale el sol, cantan los pájaros y puedes empaparte de la historia de Alcatraz sin la atmósfera espeluznante. Pero oye, si buscas un toque de emoción y una mirada al lado más oscuro de la historia, el tour nocturno podría ser justo lo tuyo. ¿O debería decir tu dosis de adrenalina?

¡Saludos! Javi Molina, El Paso, Texas Cheers,

"Beyond Bars: Alcatraz & SF Escapades"?

Let me tell you about our unforgettable San Francisco July 4th celebration—it was a blast! Alcatraz was a must, and boy, did it live up to the hype. Our family loves private tours, and this company delivered big time. Our guide, Adam, rocked—fun, knowledgeable, and a photo ninja! He showed us hidden gems, like a secret masonic staircase, adding thrill to our tour.

The day flowed seamlessly. More photo ops and short walks than we could imagine! Lunch in Japantown was a noodle paradise before we sailed to Alcatraz. The vibes? Electric. The visit? Intriguing and somewhat sobering. Masks on, safety first, but the excitement was palpable.

Arriving at Alcatraz, history hung heavy in the air. The interior tour with the French audio guide was captivating. It wasn't just facts; it was a vivid journey through Alcatraz's wild past. We were hooked.

Our impromptu SF adventure blended with Alcatraz was an emotional rollercoaster. From the boat buzz to mind-blowing prison tales, it was real and thought-provoking. Missed pre-booked tickets? No worries! Blend city tours with operators for an epic ride. Family-friendly fun at its best!

“Thrilling Journey Through Alcatraz: A Top-Notch Experience!"

My rendezvous with Alcatraz Tours Inc was simply top-notch, starting from the booking stage right through to the grand finale. Even though nabbing Alcatraz tickets on short notice seemed impossible, this company worked their magic and granted us an extraordinary day within the prison's walls. Our guide, Leo, was an absolute delight, blending fun and learning seamlessly into the tour. For anyone eyeing an Alcatraz adventure, this tour company comes with my highest recommendation.

Leo's savvy parking advice was a lifesaver! We opted to snugly park our wheels inside PIER 29.5 for a flat $30, ensuring our vehicle stayed safe from any shenanigans. The tip was golden and spared us any car-related mishaps.

Our journey through Alcatraz, combined with the city tour, was nothing short of spectacular, all thanks to Alcatraz Tours Inc and our fantastic guide, Leo. If you're after an engaging and enlightening Alcatraz experience, this tour company is the real deal!

"Is Alcatraz Day or Night Tour Worth the Trip? How to Decide"

Picking between the Alcatraz day or night tour? Tough choice, right? Well, after poring over blogs and reviews, my hubby and I swayed towards the night tour—let me tell you, it was the right choice! That spooky aura and entirely different vibe gave us the best kind of goosebumps.

But hey, the night tour has its quirks—some areas are off-limits, unlike the daytime exploration where you've got free rein. And brace yourself, the night can get ultra-windy and chilly, plus the sneaky fog can veil San Francisco Bay. Layering up is a must, and that mist adds a dash of spooky charm.

We paired our Alcatraz adventure with a guided city tour, worth every dime and sweat. If you're the free-spirited explorer type, the day trip might be your jam. Yet, for that extra spook-factor, the night tour is a winner. Just a tip—book way in advance; this one flies off the shelves!

We had a blast, and I'd shout out to everyone—Alcatraz is a must for any San Fran visitor!

"Thrilling Alcatraz Island & San Francisco Expedition"

This tour was the cherry on top of our San Francisco adventure! Our guide was a walking encyclopedia, sprinkling fascinating nuggets about the city as we headed towards Alcatraz. A VIP pick-up at our Nob Hill hotel set the tone—stress-free and easy-breezy.

We zipped through the city's vibrant alleys and cruised down the twisty Lombard Street—talk about thrill! Every stop was a postcard-perfect vista, and our guide's tales jazzed up the experience.

The boat trip to Alcatraz was a dream, and hello, refreshments galore onboard! While the upper deck dished out breathtaking bay views, it did get a smidge breezy and nippy at times.

Alcatraz Island? Hauntingly beautiful! Those crumbled walls and aged halls—it was like stepping into a time machine. The audio tour? Superbly easy to follow; we felt like time travelers exploring the prison's secrets.

This tour company? A total win for any San Francisco visitor! Worth every penny for an experience that was breezy and brimming with fun. Massive thanks for making our trip unforgettable!

Listen up, fellow travelers! You haven't truly experienced San Francisco until you've ventured into Alcatraz Island. This combo tour is the golden ticket to an absolute Bay Area must-do!

Upon landing, we had the choice to wander solo or join Bryan, a treasure trove of Alcatraz tales. His stash of vintage island pics and history nuggets was an absolute game-changer, adding a whole lot of oomph to our visit. The audio tour inside the cells? Absolutely captivating!

A Lovely Family Trip of Alcatraz & San Francisco”

Our family's jaunt to Alcatraz Island was a total game-changer during our San Francisco adventure! Cruising on that ferry to the island was like getting a backstage pass to the city's stunning skyline and the sparkling bay. Once we set foot on the island, we grabbed our audio tour sets, all set for our adventure.

Let me tell you, that audio tour? It was like a storytelling magic show! We were glued to our headsets, soaking in all the jaw-dropping tales about the prison's history and the legendary characters who called it home. Our kiddos were gobsmacked hearing about those daring escape tales—it was like they were on a treasure hunt for secrets around every corner!

But wait, there's more! We didn't just stick to the cells; oh no, we were island explorers! The lighthouse? Check. The gardens? Check. Each nook and cranny felt like a page from a gripping storybook.

And the cherry on top? Walking through the prison yard was surreal! Standing where the legends once stood, taking in those epic views of the city and the bay—it was a picture-perfect moment that took our breath away.

Honestly, our entire gang had a blast on Alcatraz Island. It's a must-do if you're in San Francisco with kids. The blend of history, nature, and those knockout views? It's etched in our memory box as one of those 'forever' experiences.

"The Thrilling Audio Tour: Alcatraz Unveiled!"

What an exceptional audio tour experience at Alcatraz! The narration was incredibly engaging and well-crafted, elevating the entire visit to a whole new level of entertainment and information. I had previously opted for the extended Friday night tour, but trust me, the day tour is the real gem if you can snag a spot - they tend to fill up fast, so booking ahead is a must!

Flexibility is key; you can tailor your visit to your liking. I managed to soak up the essence of Alcatraz in a captivating 90 minutes, but you can stay as long as you wish. The freedom to decide the duration of your exploration is quite liberating! Also, hopping onto the mainland-bound ferry is hassle-free - no seat reservations needed, just join the line and embark on the next available boat.

Trust me, this Alcatraz audio tour is a must for anyone seeking an immersive and customizable experience that brings history alive!

Unveiling Alcatraz's Intriguing Tale: Native American Legacy and the Great Escape

My recent visit to Alcatraz was beyond my wildest expectations, offering an experience that went far beyond the anticipated. Among the most captivating facets was delving into the island's Native American history, adding a layer of fascination and uniqueness to the entire tour.

The self-guided audio tour proved invaluable, providing an immersive and educational journey through this historical gem. While exploring the island was engrossing, remember to dress comfortably and don sturdy shoes as there's a fair bit of ground to cover.

What struck me most was the island's impeccable preservation, especially the remnants and artifacts left by its former Native American inhabitants. Witnessing their influence woven into the broader historical fabric of the site was utterly fascinating. However, the tour's zenith was undoubtedly the riveting account of the infamous Alcatraz escape. The tale of Frank Morris, John Anglin, Clarence Anglin, and Allen West was a gripping saga, made even more enthralling by standing where their audacious plan took shape. It's no surprise this escape has captivated imaginations for years.

For those thirsty to uncover Alcatraz's intricate past and its pivotal role in American history, a visit is an absolute must. And for cinephiles, the movie 'Escape from Alcatraz' starring Clint Eastwood offers a cinematic depiction that adds to the thrill.

If San Francisco's on your travel radar, do yourself a favor and pencil in Alcatraz. Trust me, it's an experience that'll linger long after your visit ends!

"Valentine's Day Adventure in San Francisco and Alcatraz!"

My partner and I opted for something unique this Valentine's Day - a trip to San Francisco and Alcatraz Island, and it turned out to be an absolute gem of an experience. Despite not being the conventional romantic outing, it was perfect for us, both being history buffs. The tour wasn't just about the prison's past; it shed light on the indigenous rights movements tied to the island. Learning about the struggles faced by people of color within those walls was truly eye-opening.

The park staff were not only welcoming but also keen on showcasing the gardens. As a plant lover, I was captivated by the stunning array of blooms and lush greenery. Although we couldn't take any souvenirs, discovering that we could purchase pieces of the foundation to support the park made for a delightful takeaway.

In addition to the island, we explored the city and decided to dive into San Francisco's local brewery scene. The Beach Chalet Brewery and Restaurant caught our eye with its local brews, fresh ingredients, and breathtaking ocean vistas. It was a paradise for food enthusiasts like us, an experience we relished.

Our day was unforgettable, and we're already planning a return trip to delve deeper into the island's offerings. However, I'll admit, unless you're both history aficionados like us, Alcatraz might not top the list for a typical romantic date!

San Francisco and Alcatraz Island, thank you for such an exceptional adventure. It was a perfect match for our curious hearts.

“An Amazing Place with Breathtaking Views and History”

An amazing place with breathtaking views and history. You can even touch the walls and cells where Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly were isolated. We were lucky to find and book this all-inclusive SF Alcatraz package, it was a worry-free booking, a perfect way to enjoy San Francisco if you don't have much time. It was a convenient, affordable, and enriching combined trip.

The island's layered history offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the US Army and the era of military prisons through the federal penitentiary era and the occupation of American Indians. We didn't know it was a lighthouse, and it became the first of its kind on the West Coast of the United States. Alcatraz was used to house problem prisoners from other federal penitentiaries, particularly those who had escaped from custody, but it also held the most notorious and dangerous prisoners in the country, such as Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, Alvin Karpis, and Whitey Bulger.

Overall, it was a great tour, but don't expect a Russian-speaking guide in an English-speaking country like the USA. Be sure to read more about it in Russian before you go. Our limited knowledge of the English language helped us understand most of the guide's stories. BRAVO! Nikolay Sivov Moscow, Russia.

“Отличный отдых в Сан-Франциско! Если у вас мало времени, я бы определенно порекомендовал пакетный тур по СФ Алькатрасу "все включено.” Нам повезло забронировать тур заранее, и это было беззаботное бронирование, включающее все необходимое. Мы могли наслаждаться потрясающими видами и историческими местами, включая камеры, где содержались известные заключенные, такие как Аль Капоне и Пулемет Келли. Мы узнали много интересного про армию США, федеральную пенитенциарную эпоху и индейскую оккупацию. Но самое главное, что мы нашли, это то, что Алькатрас был маяком, первым своего рода на западном побережье. В целом, это был очень хороший тур, хотя мы столкнулись с некоторыми трудностями в понимании английского языка гида. Поэтому я бы посоветовал прочитать больше о туре на русском языке перед поездкой. Тем не менее, это был отличный отдых, и я очень рекомендую его для всех, кто посетит Сан-Франциско. Николай Сивов Москва, Россия”

"Get Your Alcatraz Tickets Early!"

Booking your Alcatraz tickets in advance is a must! During the bustling summer months and holiday weekends, they tend to vanish like hotcakes weeks ahead. Luckily, we snagged a couple of tickets just in time. The audio tour provided with the tickets is a gem, especially in the main jail area. The ferry ride itself is a visual treat.

Set aside approximately 3 hours for your island exploration, including ferry travel. To add some pre-visit excitement, catch movies like 'The Rock' or 'Escape from Alcatraz' for a sneak peek into this legendary spot before your visit.

“Awesome Experience”

What an adventure! The audio tour was top-notch, diving into history and leaving me wanting more. Pro tip: Stick around after the audio tour—there are tons of other cool things to explore. This combo tour and tour company? Five stars without a doubt! P.S. Remember your coat! The San Francisco Bay gets pretty windy, so come prepared for a breezy adventure!
