These two high-quality, separate-departure tours can be done on the same day or over more than one day.
First, choose a date from the schedule for the daytime Alcatraz prison tour, complete with headset audio (available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish).
Either before or after Alcatraz, you can enjoy a "boat-load" of spectacular views along San Francisco Bay.
Considering how often Alcatraz sells out at the Pier 33 Box Office, this package is often a great way to get a ticket to Alcatraz and make memories going under the Golden Gate Bridge.

I learned a lot about Alcatraz Island and prison through an audio guide. Moreover, it was interesting to get information about actual state of US prisons.
How beautiful a place.

Listening the doors slamming was very eerie and it brought the film to life. Amazing well preserved building with character

Must do in San Fransisco, wonderful ferry ride back and forth too! Beautiful views of San Fransisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. I recommend taking the bay cruise too afterwards! The prison is like visiting a ghost of the past, one can just imagine what it was like to be there btw Al Capone’s cell is C-181 second deck! There were no signs saying this I asked the guard there. Great trip get tickets before you go the sellout very quickly.

As a dream come true to come to experience Alcatraz.Audio tour with no rental fee is most valuable to learn the history. But a bit pricy. Maybe only one time visit.

Talk about a moving experience! The island itself was quite beautiful and the flowers absolutely gorgeous…all brought from the mainland or grown from the seeds dropped by the great number of birds which come to nest safely every year. (The park. rangers keep a tally each nesting season as to what birds and how many nests and eggs they find.)
We were fortunate enough to stroll through the area with a person from the Conservancy. She did an amazing job of sharing unique stories and not commonly known information about “the rock.” we even got to go “behind the scenes” to tour areas generally not open to the public. We were joined by a park ranger who was just getting off work; he added so much to our stroll.
Next, we went to the cell blocks, where we listened to the audio guide, an absolutely necessary part of the tour! It was extremely well done, and included powerful sound effects, as if you were in an inhabited Alcatraz. The narrators included former corrections officers as well as inmates.
Prior to those events, we had listened to the four part video about the Native American occupation of Alcatraz in 1969 and 1970. We vaguely remember that, but this certainly opened our eyes to the importance of it, and how it impacted the civil rights movement for the Native Americans.
Once again, our national park service scores big along with the Conservancy! Also we appreciated the opportunity to be ferriedto and from Alcatraz safely.

Excellent visit. Audio tour was very good. Great ferry ride over to the island and beautiful views both there and on the way. Tram ride up to the prison was very helpful.

The ride to and from Alcatraz and the excellent recorded Alcatraz tour, which everyone there had, did not include a San Francisco Bay Cruise unless that meant the ride back from the island. If so, this was false advertising as we paid extra for a "cruise" that was no more than a ride back. to Pier 33. Please let me know if we missed the "cruise" part or if this was simply how you described the tour. Unclear.

This was something everybody should get the chance to do! It’s a piece of history! And v the cruise Beneath the Golden Gate Bridge was awesome! You were fully able to appreciate the view of San Francisco from the water!
