This is it! The one and only Alcatraz Night Tour from Alcatraz City Cruises. As compared to the Day Tour, it’s a little bit creepier (haunted?) with less crowds, small group docent-led tours, often including additional presentations and sometimes chances to go to parts of the prison unavailable during the day. This tour begins and ends at Pier 33, in San Francisco, California. For more information or to book this activity, click here.
Plus you get a separate high quality excursion with spectacular views along San Francisco Bay. This can be done before or after Alcatraz, with daily departures; no reservations required. First, select a date from the evening schedule. You get the Alcatraz prison tour, complete with headset audio (available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish). Considering how often the Alcatraz Night Tour sells out at the Pier 33 Box Office, this package is often a great way to get a ticket to Alcatraz and make memories going all along the San Francisco waterfront and out under the Golden Gate Bridge and back. This tour lasts about 4 hours and costs $150.00.
Discover America’s most infamous prison… at night! It’s less crowded and more docents leading smaller groups. It’s also creepier then, with added features, but always a chance to go inside a cell and feel the cold and dark life firsthand. The award-winning 45-minute cell house audio headset tour covers escape attempts, riots, bizarre characters, and much more. Displays include prison life, guard controls, and how 3 inmates made their infamous “Escape From Alcatraz.” Alcatraz is one of the most popular tours in the country
The Golden Gate Bridge is quite impressive when seen from below! This easy 1-hour tour on a stable 300-passenger ferry boat makes for smooth sailing. Daily departures from 11:00 am let you control the clock. These boats all have a snack bar with Beer and Wine, restrooms, and indoor and outdoor decks. You’ll take in fabulous skyline views of Fort Mason, Marina Green, Pacific Heights, Presidio and Historic Ft. Point, Angel Island, Alcatraz, and points around the SF Bay.
