The self guided audio tour is pretty cool. You can pause it, and it plays all the jailhouse sounds that would otherwise be missing

Ninah Randolph

Really awesome experience. Park rangers are really nice and knowledgeable . You could tour the whole place on your own or tag along to one of the free guided tours

Brie Henry

Stunningly historical and eerie. Great audio tours are given. Watch out for the steps; they're steep. You may still find an escapee here from 50 years ago still hangin' out.

Pablo Virzi

The audio tour is well narrated and the events that happened are very interesting. From Alcatraz you have an amazing view of San Francisco.

The food inside the jail was one of the best. Some Resturants started to offer Alcatraz meals ????????

Hendrik

A must see. Come for the great audio tour of the cell house, stay because the rest of the island is similarly impressive.

Audio tour is amazing. You can pause it and enjoy the Bay view in the weather is good

Marvin

Most people don't exit into the recreation room — at the back there is a stairway that makes its way down to the edge of the island .

Amazing place, you need to hear all the audio guide, it's really good.

I loved the place, specially the story

Dan Schuffert

Make sure you take the free audio tour . I can't imagine getting much out of the walking tour without the audio devices.

Prisoners were entitled to food, clothing , shelter and medical attention. Anything else is privilege.

I wanted to visit the Alcatraz at night but it's sold out. The day experience was very fun though.

FAÇA O TOUR NOTURNO!! E aproveite para participar de umas atividades extras nas celas!! O som do abre-e-fecha das celas é sensacional!

Aarón López Perales

El recorrido con calma es muy interesante. Vale la pena el audiotour. Trata de alejarte cuando puedas del resto de la gente y podrás sentir un poco de lo frío y inhumano del lugar.
