Tour Details

A visit to Alcatraz Prison is essential for anyone in San Francisco. Begin your journey at Pier 33, where a ferry will transport you to "The Rock" in approximately 20 minutes. Still considering the visit? We assure you it will be memorable!

Upon disembarking, you will have ample time to explore this iconic maximum-security facility. But what factors contributed to its notoriety? How did this deserted island evolve into a key defensive site for the United States?

With the assistance of your audio guide in English, you will uncover the rich history of Alcatraz, tracing its transformation from a military fort in 1850 to a federal prison from 1934 to 1963. As you wander through the grounds, discover the stories of the inmates who inhabited its cells and the attempts to escape. Did you know that infamous figures such as Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and Robert Stroud, famously known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz," were held here?

You will have the chance to see the prison's dining areas and courtyard first-hand, offering a deeper understanding of life behind bars.

When you're ready, you can return to Pier 33 at your convenience. You've just explored one of the most formidable federal penitentiaries in the nation!
