Alcatraz. The name alone sent a shudder
down the spines of the nation’s most incorrigible
criminals from the day it opened in
1934. It stripped Al Capone of his power,
tamed “Machine Gun” Kelly into a model
of decorum. It took the birds away from the
Birdman of Alcatraz. The prison was closed
in 1963 by Robert Kennedy and has become
a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all those
who visit this infamous island.
The tour includes a scenic ferry ride to this
island, an optional short film detailing the
island’s history, and an award-winning selfguided
audio tour. These tapes were recorded
not by actors, but actual guards and inmates
who occupied this desolate penitentiary.
Warm clothing and comfortable walking
shoes are recommended. Following Alcatraz,
time permitting, you will enjoy time to
explore Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, and
make a visit to the world famous sea lions!
