Nice place to "forget" your mother-in-law ;)

No alcohol served on the way to Alcatraz, just on the way back.
AndrewMarch 31, 2013
Smells like Al Capone's flatulants.
Chicketha SmeethOctober 29, 2011
interesting but beyond scary.
Johnny KuoAugust 18, 2010

De lo mejor de las ciudad. Una maravilla de visita. La audioguía es completa, amena y divertida
Fran InchaustiJanuary 10, 2017
Impresionante, se siente la energía de lo que paso allí a cada paso. La autoguia es buenisima, si sabes ingles hacerla en ese idioma ya que las voces son las originales de los guardias y prisioneros.
Guilherme 梅田November 2, 2016
Compre seus ingressos com muita antecedēncia! Eles acabam muito rápido! E se der certo, faça o TOUR NOTURNO!! Ja fiz os dois (dia e noite) e garanto que o noturno é mais divertido!
Rafael Freitas SantosMay 12, 2014
Melhor passeio de San Francisco. Possui o audio tour em português é perfeito. Compre o ingresso com antecedência pela internet e aproveite.
Vinícius RamosNovember 12, 2019
Um dos melhores passeios de San Francisco . Com o tour guiado de áudio, vc conhece as instalações físicas e algumas histórias do presídio mais famoso dos EUA.
Hendrik GebhardtJune 6, 2015
Unbedingt die Audio-Tour in Anspruch nehmen. Nur so erfährt man einige interessante Hintergründe und Erfahrungsberichte.
Валерия ИващенкоJuly 1, 2018
Безумно интересная экскурсия до мурашек по коже, очень понравилось, можно воспользоваться аудиогидом, примерно час. Советую.
Claudia GoñíaMay 24, 2016
Este panorama es lo mejor de SF, tour con audio guía es maravilloso y esta en español. EXCELENTE
NmMarch 4, 2016
يوجد فيلم وثائقي يعرض قصة الجزيرة وأنصح بمشاهدته في بداية الزيارة ،، التجربة جميلة لمدة قصيرة فقط لكن لا يوجد شيء مميز .. العبارة تغادر كل 25 دقيقة ،،
Madame No NameApril 24, 2013
Adaya çiktiğınız ve hikayeleri dinlediğiniz zaman adanın etkisini ve gücünü hissedebilirsiniz! Biletler en az 4 gün önce online alınmalı! Biz şanslıydık son dakikada bilet bulduk! Mutlaka gidilmeli
Patricia GutierrezFebruary 11, 2017
O tour através de áudio, em Português, fez toda a diferença. Os homens narrando as experiências vividas ali, nos faz imaginar o que acontecia naquela época. Visita interessante. Grata surpresa.
Florian ColasJuly 25, 2019
La Prison d'Alcatraz est clairement LA chose à faire absolument à San Francisco ! https://generationvoyage.fr/visiter-prison-alcatraz-san-francisco/
Luis ShimabukuroAugust 25, 2014
Se estiver por SF vale a pena conhecer a história da prisão mais famosa dos USA, além de ter uma linda vista da cidade de SF!
Gabriela ZagoApril 12, 2016
Atração surpreendentemente interessante. O tour de áudio vale muito a pena. Seria interessante poder com uma prisão de mesmo tipo (federal de segurança máxima) no Brasil.
ROCKIT-INTERNET.de MünchenJanuary 20, 2015
Die Audiotour ist wirklich empfehlenswert!
michele boccaliniJune 11, 2015
Alcatraz è una esperienza fantastica , assolutamente da vedere. 38$ che meritano assolutamente di essere spesi. Consiglio : prenotate in anticipo online
Faruk AydınOctober 26, 2018
Eğer kuralları ihlal ederseniz hapse girersiniz. Eğer hapiste de kuralları ihlal ederseniz Alcatraz’a gidersiniz. Son derece etkileyici ve tüyler ürpertici. O zamanları yaşıyorsunu. Gidin ve görün!
Gerardo LJune 1, 2016
El tour de audio es buenísimo, si sabes inglés lo recomiendo pues hay grabaciones originales de reos.
Emilie VandermeirenApril 2, 2022
C’est à voir, et avec la visite guidée (audioguide) qui apporte vraiment un plus. On regrette le fait de se faire refuser beaucoup d’endroits sur l’île par contre.
Clarice LongMay 9, 2016
Tão legal passear de veleiro e ver a famosa ilha de Alcatraz!!! Com direito a audioguia em português: http://www.weplann.com.br/san-francisco/tour-veleiro-baia-de-san-francisco :)
Francois PichardJuly 31, 2012
La visite vaut vraiment le coup, prenez le temps de vs balader pr découvrir cet endroit vraiment différent ; pensez à réserver à l'avance ; l'aller-retour en bateau est aussi un plaisir
Rafael BorroSeptember 18, 2014
Vale muito a pena visitar, lembrar de comprar o bilhete antecipado, se deixar pra última hora não encontra, lugar com uma vista linda de San Francisco
TanjaOctober 4, 2014
Die Audio-Tour ist sehr gut gemacht. Von Alcatraz aus hat man einen Panoramablick über die Bay.
RAUL PEREZ DURANJuly 31, 2018
Es un lugar típico turístico, no deja de ser una prision con una vibra pesada !! Un lugar para conocer pero eso es todo.
B.E.KMay 16, 2018
Şehrin yapıtaşlarından biri. Korkunç ve kaçılması imkansız Alcatraz hapishanesi. Bir kişi kaçmış gerçi ama hayatta kalmış olması imkansız deniliyor. Gelip görün.
Iveth CicsJune 29, 2020
De los mejores lugares que he visitado en mi Vida!! Increíbles historias contadas y narradas por los presos de Alcatraz
Dmitriy GeraninFebruary 18, 2018
Поднимайтесь наверх и берите аудиогид. А потом просто погуляйте по острову. Место-то шикарное. Аллея из агав вообще.
Aarón López PeralesApril 19, 2016
Recomiendo ampliamente el audiotour. Me gustó más el tour de la noche que el del día. Saliendo pueden ir a cenar.
Carlos MitreApril 2, 2019
Excelente lugar para visitar en San Francisco , las vistas woow
Claudia Flores AriasFebruary 3, 2016
¿Estas en San Francisco? DEBES venir. Haz el recorrido con audio y sigue las instrucciones; es un lugar fascinante
Smith285August 28, 2022
Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Ausflug in die Geschichte und zum wohl berühmtesten Gefängnis der Welt.
