    Full description

    Step onto the dock at Alcatraz Island and walk the same path that America's most infamous criminals once walked. Your visit begins with the short but scenic ferry ride from Pier 33 Alcatraz Landing, offering panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline, Angel Island, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Once on the island, make your way up the steep road to the Cellhouse — the main prison building that once held prisoners like Al Capone, Robert 'Birdman' Stroud, and George 'Machine Gun' Kelly. The Cellhouse Audio Tour, produced by Antenna International, has won numerous awards and features first-person accounts from former inmates and correctional officers who lived and worked on The Rock.
