Wear a jacket if it's the night tour. Every thing else was really good. Don't need to change anything

Hills are steep. There is a tram. Lots of baby seagulls. The flowers were surprisingly beautiful!!! It was warmer than in the city.

Get there early to find parking. The lines get long quick. Once you get off so many places to eat or walk around the pier. Had a blast. Weather was perfect not to hot not to cold! Perfect!!

Jason_D, Jun 2026
Such a great experience! Was so much more fun and informative than I thought it would be. :) Two thumbs up!
Mamatha_D, Jun 2026
Inside alcatraz was really good, especially the cell house. I enjoyed looking at the Indian tribe occupancy and release and the associated stories.
Jason_T, Jun 2026
An amazing experience from start to finish.
Ferry to and from Alcatraz was very quick and smooth
The guided audio tour of Alcatraz was very informative and interesting
A must do if you are in San Francisco.

Finally get to visit this iconic island. It took me years to finally visited. My go to app. It's easy and fast access. Had a great experience to see it.

It’s a hilly walking tour .
I was very disappointed on the Al Capone part of the tour . The tour guide’s microphone went out and we couldn’t hear any more of the tour ! I thought he would have asked someone to bring him another mic - he didn’t . After frustration with not hearing the tour , we left .

Great tour. Learned a lot about the history of Alcatraz. Night tour was awesome because coming home the sunset was happening so the pictures of Alcatraz and San Francisco were even better. Smooth boat ride. Great crew

It was pretty quick and easy to get on the ferry
Headphones were given inside Alcatraz and Ferry ride they told you about history. It was cold and windy and very uphill (tram provided for mobility issues).

You overcharged me for the family package and there was no disclosure regarding the fact that the Alcatraz cruise would possibly not accept a third party site.
John_M, Jun 2026
Lots of walking, wear comfortable shoes! All staff and crew members were very helpful and friendly. We will be returning to do the night tour!

Great ferry ride over that was comfortable and the views from the island made the trip worthwhile. I also loved seeing the plant life on the island.
Keith_S, May 2026
This was enjoyable and I had fun out on the bay. Staff on the site was nice and you could explore the island on your own
Samantha_B, May 2026
Very educational, audio was great, sold out tour but was not overcrowded at all. Staff was awesome, highly recommend this tour
Haykanush_G, May 2026
We were very impressed.was very influential.We all really enjoyed our tour.Thank you very much.We had an interesting day.
Andrea_B, May 2026
This experience is just a mark up of the official one you can buy from the main website. It is $25 more and you get NO added benefit. Everyone gets the free audio tour when you get to the island. There is no reason to buy this experience unless the main one is sold out.
Kim_M, May 2026
Smooth boat ride to Alcatraz. Great staff and the prison was very interesting. Must do when visiting San Francisco.

I was expecting access to additional areas and experiences that were promoted, but nothing extra wasnt available during out tour. On top of that, there’s renovation work happening right now, which means you actually see less than I did on my visit seven years ago. Overall, it felt disappointing and not worth the cost.
Terri_T, May 2026
Excellent experience booking with Viator for our evening cruise to Alcatraz. Could not ask for more clear information and instructions. Highly recommend!!
Joanne_C, May 2026
Brilliant. Absolutely fantastic trip. Wanted to visit from the moment we booked our trip to San Francisco and wasn't disappointed. Booked the night tour and went across just before sunset. By the time we were ready to leave the sun was setting and it made the whole experience even more eerie.
Lisa_N, May 2026
Yes amazing to visit such an icon however we did the tour in less than a hour. Many areas closed off for renovations so access limited and that was disappointing for the price paid.
Paula_G, May 2026
Dress warm!! And be prepared to walk up more hills. It was what we expected as far as the tour went. Very interesting!! Take the tour!
Patricia_C, May 2026
Well structured and interesting tour of Alcatraz. Ranger Kyle was very knowledgeable and pleasant to have as a guide.
Melika_K, Apr 2026
This is a scam, people. A predatory scheme. Just go on any other website like alcatraz city cruise and buy the EXACT SAME ticket for 47.95 $. They charge an extra 43 $ for nothing. I don’t know how it’s allowed. I wish someone had mentioned it in the reviews before. The tour operator is extremely rude and unprofessional too. Very disappointing experience. Zero star if I could.

We were Cancelled at the last minute. In the rain, ready to board. This was the whole reason we came to San Francisco. Disappointed.
