Alcatraz Tour
From LoveToKnow SanFrancisco
An Alcatraz tour is one of the best ways to see "the rock", one of the most famous maximum-security prisons in the history of the American penal system. Alcatraz sits on a rock smack dab in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. Since shuttering its doors in 1964, the prison has grown to become one San Francisco’s premier tourist attractions. Below is our guide to some of the best tours you can take of Alcatraz Island.
