“Visited Alcatraz Island today by ferry and it was such an interesting experience. The audio headset tour around the prison cells was excellent — hearing the stories and accounts of what life was like for prisoners really brought the island’s history to life. A fascinating and very well organised tour with amazing views of San Francisco too!” Diane, May 2026 [Source: Viator]
