Certainly worth doing - but shop around and book up well in advance to get the slot you want. Take your own water with you as it'll be at least $5 p/bottle on the boat and there is nowhere for purchase of food or drink on the island. Brilliant audio equipment to do the walk-about tour (inside part only). My tip, when you get off the boat, head straight to the top and inside to get on with the tour and afterwards, you can admire the views on your way back to the boat. Boats leave the island back to SF about every 30 mins, but we had a fair delay because the one we were catching was taken out service for a fault..... so don't book lunch or dinner for an anticipated return to the mainland, as your return could have a delay. Only negative was the volume of people, as each boat takes over 500 people and each one we saw was rammed!

The tour was amazing!! I had no idea the amount of history surrounded the site. Plus, it's a beautiful (and slightly creepy) location to hike around. We did not do the audio tour but had a great time exploring on our own and learning about the island. We did have some trouble with interface with buying online and being able to access the tickets at the site. Faycal with customer service was amazing! He really helped smooth things over.

Very beautiful city! The visit to Alcatraz was very interesting. The island is beautiful! The boat curse was nice to learn all the history of Sanfransico. The employees at the blue booth could have been more helpful and polite. Very miserable two older ladies.
