    Alcatraz Night Tour and San Francisco Bay Cruise

    3.7 (14)

    Powered by Viator

    San Francisco, CA

    This is it! The one and only Alcatraz Night Tour from Alcatraz City Cruises. As compared to the Day Tour, it may feel a little bit creepier (haunted?) while having less crowds, added ranger or docent-led tours, and extra narration on the outbound ferry. Plus, you will take 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.
