This is our 4th trip to San Francisco but finally we were smart enough to pre book the Alcatraz Tour! It was well worth it!!
Martha_G, May 2026
It was a great experience! We loved how you listened to the tour through headphones. People kept moving and no clogging of areas. I love that we can go into cells to feel the experience.
Thank you!

Audio tour was absolutely essential and worth it. Listening to the stories of inmates and officers that made the experience come alive. The view from the island is pristine and unique. The online ticket made it easy and convenient.

Good night tour! Easy to explore Alcatraz. Boat cruise to and from alcatraz on top deck of boat gives great views! Only disappointing thing is many areas closed to public. Wish more buildings were open to explore.
Selena_C, May 2026
There was ALOT of history to be learned in this tour! Very interesting and immersive experience. The ferry ride over was beautiful!
Ray_K, May 2026

Visitor helped me book the Alcatraz cruise and I LOVED it!
The agent was so helpful, and I am glad that i called directly to help me book this!

This was an amazing experience. It’s self guided with audio. We also had the pleasure of meeting William (Bill) Baker one of the prisoners of Alcatraz.
Lizbeht_V, May 2026
The audio tour was great! Some areas were not available to explore. We also missed the cell door demo. Overall a informative and fun experience!

Kerry_l, Apr 2026
Great trip to the island
Great information through the audio tour and displays around the island
A part of the island was closed due to ongoing repairs and when we left the island was closing for a week for essential repairs so glad we got to go
While we were there the last inmate was signing books so an added bonus
Michael_M, Apr 2026
Highly recommend the night tour for the sunset and lights on the bay. Wonderful experience and well organized.
Martin_M, Apr 2026
Very informative and interesting place to visit, try to research the prison history before visiting to have a better experience
Rachel_T, Apr 2026
I just went and did things at my own pace . The only thing that was annoying was the flies everywhere
It’s so worth going
Cynthia_S, Apr 2026
Everything was very easy. No issues at all. The people were very helpful. Had a bit of an issue with the barcode sent to me, but it was resolved.
Darlene_Y, Apr 2026
A lot of climbing up hills, but the trek is well worth it. To experience what the inmates probably felt in such tight quarters and then there is the 'hole'. Another scary experience altogether.
Patricia_N, Apr 2026
Very easy and learned a lot. From
The process of
Getting our tickets to the ride over, the touring of the facilities and the trip back it was very seamless.
Robert_T, Apr 2026
The trip a night was ok but a lot of the island was closed for renovations or close to public . Great night shots of city and bay bridge
Lauren_F, Apr 2026
The tour was so interesting , educational and the reviews from island were amazing. This is a must to for everyone visiting San Francisco.
Tim_S, Mar 2026
Hi I'm very unsatisfied with this tour. I booked this with the impression it had a night cruise included, which it did not. I would have not booked this tour otherwise. You charged me double of what it would normally cost to visit Alcatraz! Please expect a poor review online
Peter_N, Mar 2026
Go at night if you want a more creepier experience and also get the audio guide it helps understanding about everything that went on
Torri_C, Mar 2026
Experience was great! Lots of people, good audio to listen and learn with. Many souvenir options. Fun!
SASCHA_H, Mar 2026
The night option is only available Tuesday through Sunday.
Great views of the bay and Golden Gate Bridge. Most of the buildings were closed. The audio tour of the main prisoner building was interesting in its topics of racism, famous inmates, and escape attempts. Otherwise, a decent place to eat about 2-3 hours of one’s day.
Michael_R, Mar 2026
Great time be prepared to walk uphill alot. The audio tour in the cell block was great!! Seeing San fran from the island, get some great pictures.
Keith_O, Mar 2026
Great trip, very hilly and uneven. Buggy available
Overall great experience .
Great audio set gave lots of information
Mary_D, Mar 2026
Try to get the first boat across to the island as later in the day it is swamped by visitors. We had plenty of space to read the information and go into the cells
Laura_P, Mar 2026
Alot of waiting in the sun as tours were running late but we enjoyed tge educational audio tour very much.
Cornelius_C, Mar 2026
The visit to Alcatraz was good, however, our departure time was for 2:15pm and we didn't actually leave Pier 33 until 2:50 pm. Once your on the island be prepared to walk a steep hill that is like walking 13 stories straight up, so wear comfy shoe and enjoy.
Jerome_B, Mar 2026
Very informative, visually it was a sight to see and listening to the audio portion was great to hear the accounts from guards and prisoners.
