When booking thus the website said from $76.00 but it was $131.00 a person. When we got toe the pier to get our tickets the tickets said Alcatraz and Angel Island. No where on the website did it have Angel Island so this probably accounts for the higher price which we did not want. A man in line waiting to board told us the same thing happened to him. This doesn’t make for a happy customer especially someone who used Vitor a lot. The tour itself was good.
Great history. The audio made the tour so much better. Former prisoners narrated the audio and shared their experiences
It is something unforgettable, the whole landscape is the best, and it is a very beautiful history of Alcatraz, it is admirable.

No need to download audio tour the jailhouse audio is given to you and it drains your phone battery.

Things started out a little shaky when I received a bar code from TripAdvisor and a UR code from the Tour company both with different times 45 minutes apart. I found out at 10:00 pm the night before. After leaving messages and texts, I did receive instructions to use the UR code which was later. We didn't trust the message so showed up for the earlier time and had to wait to the later time (our fault). More angst than I wished for. We loaded the app recommended by Pintours, the tour operator in preparation for the audio tour that was included. After an hour and receiving new passwords, we gave up. Turns out, they used the audio equipment at Alcatraz. Again more angst, than what I wanted. The tour was well liked and the boat ride fun. I most probably would not recommend it due to the glitches.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your experience. We also appreciate your comments and will continue working to make every visit even better. We hope to see you again soon!
Fun and exciting, lots of information, great history. It was interesting to hear about how the jail original started and how the prison was ran.

Just book thru the NPS. I didn't really understand how this tour worked I should have paid closer attention. I was supposed to listen to my phone. The park service already has a guided audio jail house tour. I really don't know what I would have gained by listening to my phone audio. Waist of money!

Communication was very unclear! The time was changed on our tour on text but stayed same on email! very confusing! Narration was horrific! We ended up taking the headphones that the site uses. Trying to get the narration to the rest of the party was also horrific. Very poor experience.

Don’t do it. Not worth the time or money. It ate up our whole day. Huge tourist trap. There’s nothing to see at Angel island and you’re there for 3hours! No joke worst experience ever.
