We purchased our tickets a week before we arrived in San Francisco. We arrived at the dock 90 mins before departing We find out after checking in a QR code was available to gain more information inside the boarding area That information was telling us of an App that we could have used with our smart phones and wireless head phones instead of holding a old style tape recorder, then on the boat in the way to the island we were told of a 13 story walk up the hill with limited tram service We saw quite a few older people either not able to enjoy their time on the island because of the limited tram service and all the stairs I feel this should have been better shared before ticket purchase

I am glad you had a good time on your tour. All those infos are shared beside the Alcatraz app. It might bring more confusion and you find out when you are the Pier. There is the tram that bring you up if you have difficulties to walk every time a boat land on the island. Thank you

The description was not clear that this was two separate boat excursions. Luckily we were able to do both. But be warned.
