About this tour

See Alcatraz Island without adding a bus-and-boat package you may not need. This San Francisco Alcatraz Day Tour includes island admission, round-trip boat transportation from Pier 33, and an award-winning audio tour.

Your departure time is assigned by the provider and falls between 8:30 AM and 4 PM. You cannot request a specific time, so check that this flexible schedule works for your plans before booking. Boarding tickets arrive by email 2 days before the event. Once at Alcatraz, explore with the included audio tour, then use the boat for your return to Pier 33. The coupon book’s discounts are subject to availability and are an added extra, not the main focus of the experience.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.20 from 10 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.6.
