For some added thrill to the trip we decided that we should take the night tour of Alcatraz Island and Prison. We left early in the evening and returned about 9pm but while on the Island we walked through the prison and then guided by guides we were shown where significant events happened and experience first hand what it would have been like as a prisioner is solatary confinement.
This was one thing that I’m very happy we did and I would highly recommend it for anyone that is planning a trip to San Francisco. It is well worth the money but make sure you have a jacket as the winds from the Pacific Ocean can be very cold, even in the summer months.
