Q:
Hi, we want to do the Alcatraz tour. Is it best to do the day tour, the night tour or is what you see - make it worth doing both?
A:
We only did the day tour which was great, basically stay as long as you want and get the boat back when your ready as you are free to roam the jail and the island.
Q:
If I go at 3:50 is there enough time to visit before the last ferry at 6:30?
A:
If you just go with the guy that recording you'll have plenty of time if you stop and read every document you'd run late.
Q:
Hi, how much was the behind the scenes tour please?
A:
Hi if you mean the cell tour with audio guide. Its included in the price of the trip over.
