Alcatraz tours San Francisco – I share my insider info about tickets, night tours and general tours of Alcatraz here on this page with you. I love going to Alcatraz still and I have lived in the Bay Area for over 35 years and been there many, many times!
It is so fun to go to “The Rock” and learn more about Alcatraz prison. There is a lot of fun history to learn and fun things to see.
Alcatraz Island
Your Welcome To The Rock!
I love the Alcatraz prison tours because they give you a headset with a fabulously narrated audio track that fully engages you. It’s really interesting to note that as you visit the prison it’s quiet because everybody is listening to their audio tour so intently! It has won awards it’s so good!

Why I love to visit Alcatraz:
You get a fun boat ride – I can’t resist them!
Seeing San Francisco from the bay always takes my breath away!
History is so very interesting to me!
It’s cool to visit an empty prison – solitary is the best.
It makes me glad I never ever had to live there.
