Good to see. Don’t expect a lot.

Take the audio tour. Glad I went but felt it was just okay and about an hour was enough. There is an actual tour with a guide that explores the history which I did not take because of timing. It left at 12 and I arrived at 10:30. I would encourage you to check it out as we were greeted by rangers when we arrived who spoke briefly about the property and they were great. Gift store pretty light on sizes and options.

History is important

Our son is 12 and he really was fascinated by all the history.
Get there supper early. There’s more people let on the boat than places to sit. It’s not comfortable to stand. The ride isn’t very long though.
Don’t book this, go directly to Alcatraz website.

Overly expensive
Richard_M
, Jun 2022
Over priced for what it is, don’t rely on iPhone audio tour, Wi-Fi is a joke and you can’t go back and get the AP equipment.
Interesting tour but not worth the high price
Rip off.

Ticket arrived too late.price was hugely marked up. I should have bought this directly not via boat or.

We love the Alcatraz tour. We weren’t happy with the bay cruise. There was no clear instructions were to where to go for the cruise. According to voucher, we were supposed to go to pier 39 but it’s actually at pier 41. We would have almost missed the cruise. We caught the last cruise for the day.

It was a really enjoyable and easy experience. Don’t worry if you don’t hear about tickets to the night before, totally normal. I’d definitely recommend!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
