Yes Alcatraz is self guided with audio tour as stated in advance. Tour operators are not allowed on the island. We thank you for your business!

We booked a morning tour and ended up with afternoon tour, no explanation given. Not enough time was given to explore the island so this part of the trip was rushed. Poor value for money.

Hello! Please be advised no time promised at time of purchase. Our sales brochure states on viator states we assign you a time. Guests are also allowed 3.5 hours on the island which is typically more than enough time. Here is a recap of our sales info: <>Assigned Time Alcatraz Island Cell house access <>Assigned Alcatraz Day Departure (assigned by us) <>Golden Gate Express MiniBus time assigned by us <>Alcatraz times assigned by us\ 8:50am to 5pm <>Bridge tour time assigned by us 8:50 am-5:30pm

Alcatraz trip too short but Golden Gate Bridge portion was very informative. The driver gave us interesting facts about the building of the bridge.

Response from Host

We allow 3 hours on the island and that should be more than enough time for any guest.
