At night, Alcatraz prison feels a little bit creepier & perhaps even haunted... but unlike the less personal, only self-guided Day Tour, your small, English only docent-led group at night will learn more history in a less crowded space.
Options include cell entry, short talks, special exhibits, & multiple-stop programs unavailable on the Day Tour.
The prison comes alive as you see escape displays & cells frozen in time – while you listen to prisoner & guard stories, historic details, & sound effects (in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish).
Plus you'll see the best of SF on a 2-hour city loop by open-top bus. The duration can be extended if you choose to hop on and off at various stops. You control the clock.
This combo gets you on the infamous Alcatraz Island, while also showing you many other great city attractions, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Victorian homes, the Palace of Fine Arts, & more. You'll love it!
