    FYI: These are two separate tours with two separate operators. Cut out the middle man and buy these tickets yourself.

    Amazing history on the American penal system and other social issues. Beautiful views of San Francisco and surrounding area.

    The Rock. With the fog and night time atmosphere the island itself felt more "haunted" and eerie than exploring the cells themselves. There is a large incline zig-zag that needs to be traversed, but they did a mobility cart for those that need assistance. Additionally you are able to take any ferry back - as long as you don't miss the last one! (Giving you time to explore). Audio devices with headphones are provided with easy play and pause features to allow for you to pause as needed as you stroll through the prison. (This two part package allows you to see the Golden Gate Bridge as well as Alcatraz from the bay during the day.)

    RECOMMENDATION: Just book these tours direct with the Alcatraz ferry and the Cruise company booking offices. Firstly, we have used Viator to book numerous tours. This is the first one we were disappointed with. We try to book tours that are small group tours, hence we selected this one. There were supposed to be only 8 on the tour. We received minimal instructions other than to go to Pier 33 show our purchase to get a ticket to catch the Alcatraz ferry. There was no indication on where to meet a guide. The ticket office just gave us tickets and told us to get on the next ferry. We tried to explain but they were not interested. We never met a guide and ended up doing the standard Alcatraz tour as any other person. However, we paid more than others because we were to be a small group tour and didn’t just go direct to the provider. I have been to Alcatraz during the day, night time was no different even though this tour suggests it will be. As for the cruise, we never got to that owing to it NOT being available after the Alcatraz night tour. We didn’t have any other time we could do it due to being on other tours during our stay. So we paid for this and did not use it. Extremely disappointing and a waste of our money. Would not recommend this tour.

Displays include prison life, guard controls, and how 3 inmates made their infamous “Escape From Alcatraz.” Alcatraz is one of the most popular tours in the country: • Video History Presentation – No Charge • Audio Tour has sound effects, interviews with prisoners & guards, and historic details • The Cellhouse Audio Tour is available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. • Bookstore with information in many languages • Permanent exhibit The Big Lockup: Mass Incarceration in the United States • Other rotating exhibits • Prison recreation yard open to public
