Our Historical Tour Around Alcatraz Island
Step into history with a tour of Alcatraz Island, a fascinating destination in the heart of San Francisco Bay. Known as “The Rock,” this former maximum-security prison holds stories of infamous criminals, daring escape attempts, and a rich past that predates its prison years.
Begin your adventure with a scenic ferry ride across the bay, offering stunning views of San Francisco’s skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge. Upon arrival, explore the island’s unique features, from its stark penitentiary buildings to its surprisingly lush gardens. Tours include access to the cellhouse, where immersive audio guides narrated by former guards and inmates bring the island’s history to life.
Alcatraz’s legacy extends beyond its prison walls. Learn about its time as a military fort, its role in the Native American occupation of the 1960s, and the diverse wildlife that now calls the island home. Stroll through scenic paths and take in panoramic views of the bay as you uncover this landmark’s many layers.
This experience caters to history buffs, families, and adventurers alike, combining education and stunning scenery. Customisable options such as private tours or evening visits add an exclusive touch, making Alcatraz Island a must-see on any San Francisco itinerary.
