On the final day of our San Francisco trip, we went to Alcatraz. We had such a great time. You get to take a little boat ride to the prison. Then you get to go on a audio tour narrated by former guards and prisoner's. This tour is really great. They show you some of the guard offices, the kitchen, the cells, and much more. Also, it feels like they are with you. The guides give you enough time for photos and looking around too.
This tour is mainly inside, but in one part, you get to go outside, with a great view of San Fransisco. If you feel like spending a few seconds in the dark, you can. You have the option to go in Solitary Confinement. But don't worry, you are not in long. Actually, some cells are open, where you can go in. Great photo opportunity. At the end of the tour, you get to go in a gift shop. This gift shop has lots of cool things. Some things include, Alcatraz coins, keys, books and much more. Actually, when I went, one of the prisoners was there at the gift shop. His name is Robert Luke, and now he has a book out. It is about him living on the rock. I had to get it. Really good book! As you can tell, Alcatraz is a really fun place to visit. Be sure to get your tickets early on alcatrazcruises.com! They do go fast!
