Escape from Alcatraz

The self-guided audio tour is the standout feature, narrated by former inmates and guards, which visitors describe as "immersive," "chilling," and "powerful." This audio guide allows for a flexible pace and is widely credited with bringing the prison's history to life. The ferry ride from Pier 33 offers scenic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and city skyline, enhancing the overall experience.

Iconic Bay Bridge Cruise

Had such an amazing time with my son cruising around The Bay yesterday getting to see The Golden Gate and Bay Bridges along with Alcatraz. No matter how many times I see it or how far I travel The Bay will always be home. I love that I get to share this special place with my son and make new memories from the places that birthed me.

Great trip to see both bridges and Alcatras

It was very informative and great views. My only complaint is was hard to hear talk over the engines and others talking but might have been because we were inside

Bridge to bridge cruise a must!

The cruise was a great way to see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the city from a different perspective. Loved the audio that described what we were seeing. I definitely recommend this tour!

Very good way to spend an afternoon.

Out on the open water can be cold, so take a jacket. Also, the tour is advertised for 1 hour but lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes, so don’t crowd another activity afterwards. There was plenty of good seating available.

Beautiful views, great audio telling about everything. The wind around here can get crazy so if you're cold-natured be sure to bring a light jacket or you will be staying inside.
