    Easy to navigate. The big bus stop made collection super simple. The audio tour at Alcatraz is really well put together, booking in advance is a must. Recommend packing extra layers for the night tour if you plan to sit on top of the bus, the wind chill is next level. Overall a great experience - highly recommend.

    Everything went well with the online booking. Prices are pretty high. But it goes even higher. Online wasn't quite as high. But what can you do. Book or leave. You can only get a coffee or snack on the ferry with a credit card. Cash doesn't work. The bus was also ok, but there was a traffic light every 100 meters. That was annoying. We left out the so-called night drive despite booking. The trip starts at 5:00 p.m. It gets dark here at the earliest 3 hours later.

    Ferry had flexible return times to explore at your own pace which was nice. Very interesting tour and definitely a must do in SF. Self guided Audio tour was excellent. The National Park Ranger Matt gave an excellent presentation and was very knowledgeable. The island was interesting to explore, and the history of the island is quite incredible and we learned many new facts. In certain areas of the prison you could easily get goosebumps! Dress for weather although we had great timing and boarded the return ferry just as heavy rain hit. It was sunny during our tour. Interesting was the smell of fresh herbs and shrubs growing, which seemed out of character for a cold rock! We spent about 3 hours in total on this tour. Worth the money!
