A must-do for any San Francisco visit, Alcatraz remains a fascinating place with a rich history. The audio tour is well worth the time and offers magnificent city views from one of its terraces.

An awesome spot to go visit, it only takes a couple of hours. The audio tour is amazing if you are on a short time schedule and want to learn as much as possible in the shortest amount of time.

Go to both the night & the day trips if you can. My wife & I loved it. They have a very well produced audio tour for most of the inside. Well worth it. Say hi to Adam when you are there. Hi Adam. De

Alcatraz has been used as a Civil War fort & a Federal prison. Today, the National Park Service runs it as a tourist attraction. You’ll learn about American history & views of SF & the bay are amazing

A must see attraction when you r at SF. History of the infamous prison. The audio tour was fantastic. But quite confusing sometimes on the direction where to head as you need to backtrack too.
