i had a lot of fun there. eventhough you only get like a cassette as your tour guide, it really didnt take away from the interesting things there. it was really pretty.

This is a fun trip. The history of the island is quite interesting and well presented by the audio guide. Book well in advance, particularly for the night trips which sell out quickly!!

Great history. Where else can you visit a place that's had such an interesting history - from fort to prison to reservation.

Bring a jacket. It's cold. The audio headset is worth it.

I try to go late or early b/c lines are long and wise to purchase tixs in advance.

Alkatraz has a lot of history, Love the night tour, very spooky...

When I went here, we had bought the tickets in advance so obviously we couldn't plan what the weather was going to be like, but it was terrible. It just wasn't the kind of weather where we should be walking around town with. The boat ride to Alcatraz was even worse. It was so rainy and windy, I had to go through the whole tour soaked from ...

Everyone should experiance it at least once in your life!!! Especially the boat trip back. Great for young couples in love!!! The view of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge is totally awesome. The tour is also a wonderful experiance in itself. I liked the idea of taking that long walk up to the Prison itself. Just thinking "Man, I could be ...

I've been on the tour twice and I find it amazing each time I go. I highly recommend the audio tour if you don't then you'll miss a lot of information. You can go at your own pace with the tour so don't worry about being rushed. The whole thing takes about 2 hours or so. You have to walk up a very steep hill to get to the top of ...

the walk up wasnt too bad, i dont know what all these babies are whining about. i just wouldnt recomend it for seniors.

ive been there twice, loved it, just like all the other people i went with. plan ahead to get tickets!! audio tour highly recomended. alot of history. the (aprox) 20 min movie by the gift shop gives some good info too. for a ...

It was cold even in the summer. It was boring... our tour guild sounded as if he was half asleep.. not the best place to visit+ the walk wasn't worth it
