Reviews of Alcatraz City Cruises
"This was one of the best experiences I ever had. It’s worth it! It’s a two to three hour excursion. My family enjoyed walking around the island and exploring the tours they offer. It’s amazing how this buildings still stand. The history behind it amazing, great to learn about. The ferry is nice, they provide food and drinks inside for purchase. Also restrooms are available on board. Definitely recommend it to everyone!"
"My visit to Alcatraz with Alcatraz Cruises was an exceptional experience, starting with the convenience of purchasing my tickets in advance. This foresight allowed me to arrive and access the site directly, bypassing other lines forming for on-site ticket purchases. The organization was impeccable, as I boarded the cruise precisely at the scheduled time and similarly returned, strictly adhering to the established time block. The cruise itself is spacious, featuring three floors with various amenities. There’s an area where you can enjoy snacks or coffee while sailing, and ample seating both indoors and on the outdoor deck, providing breathtaking views. Upon arrival, a staff member greeted us, providing orientation and information about the tour. After passing this point, we ascended and walked a few minutes to the main entrance of the historic Alcatraz prison. Here, the staff guided us and handed out audio guides, allowing us to hear narrations simulating the voices of former inmates, as well as reenacted voices of the prison’s officers and directors. The tour was fascinating, brimming with history. Despite signs of neglect, presumably to maintain its original appearance, this added authenticity to the experience. Inside, we learned about the cells of famous prisoners of the time, such as Al Capone, one of the era’s most notorious tax evaders. Upon completing the tour of the cells, dining hall, and areas where privileged inmates could enjoy sunlight, I was impressed by the panoramic views from the top. The outlook over the city and the spectacular maritime landscape were truly captivating. In summary, my visit to Alcatraz expanded my knowledge of this historic place, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco. It’s a must-see experience, deserving a solid 10 out of 10 for its fascinating history. Additionally, it’s worth noting that when purchasing tickets online, there are many websites available. It’s crucial to conduct a thorough check, as prices vary. I managed to secure one of the more affordable options, paying only $32 each."
"My fiancé and I took the day to adventure to the island of Alcatraz. Neither of us hadn’t been there before so we were very excited to explore. Since we are in the winter months now we prepared with hats, gloves, thick winter jackets, good shoes (may be raining or wet, steep hills and stairs, colder on the water) I purchased a rain poncho from the store on the island as it was very rainy that day. The boat was clean, looked good and we were off for the 15-20 min boat ride to and from the island. The views are one of a kind! From looking at the island of Alcatraz, then the city of San Francisco, to the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Bay Bridge, all you can do is just try and experience that moment and take lots of pictures!:) Then you dock and get off the boat to explore the island on a self guided tour. Learned so much, soaked in all the history and appreciated that I could be there to step foot on the Rock!"
"This was a fascinating look at Alcatraz! The ride over was short and smooth and food/drinks were available on the boat. The audio tour was great and very captivating. Perfect even on a gloomy day. We were able to get tickets same day and hop on a boat within an hour."
"Interesting experience in a place that is more than just an ex prison. The guided tours are a must to follow, to have a good idea of what happened there and the whole history. Perfect for family, friends and couples. Book in advance, through the web site, to pick the right times for you"
