    • Tour Duration: Once on the Island, stay as long as you wish. Allocate at least 3 hours for a roundtrip, including sailing to the island, the Cellhouse audio-guided tour, exploring exhibits, and returning to the mainland. Photo ID is required for boarding Alcatraz ferries. Large bags, bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, weapons, and oversized items are prohibited.
    • Advance Booking: Alcatraz tickets sell out well in advance. Secure your tour promptly to avoid disappointment. Booking with us doesn't guarantee immediate Alcatraz Island ticket confirmation, as availability changes. We confirm upon approval from the U.S. National Parks Service. If tickets are unavailable, a full refund is issued.
    • Minors: Minors under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Supervision is required at all times on Alcatraz Island, Alcatraz Landing, and aboard Alcatraz Cruises vessels.
    • Food: No food service is available on Alcatraz, but snacks and beverages to purchase are available on the ferry to and from Alcatraz Island.
    • Accessibility: Alcatraz features steep roads and walkways. A 1/4-mile journey with a 130-foot elevation change is required to reach the Cellhouse. The Sustainable Easy Access Transport (S.E.A.T.) vehicle is available for visitors who can't make the climb.
    • Muir Woods Reservations: Advance reservations are essential for all vehicles and shuttle riders visiting Muir Woods National Monument. This is organized and included in our tours.
    • Tour Guides at Muir Woods and Alcatraz Island: Tour guides cannot lead inside Muir Woods National Monument and at Alcatraz Island to maintain the sites' tranquility and historical ambiance. However, our tour guides provide detailed information in advance. Self-guided tours, maps, and audio guides are available.
    • Combining Tours: Hotel pickup is included when combining an Alcatraz Island trip with our other tours. However, post-Alcatraz tour drop-off is not included. For those in the Fisherman’s Wharf district, transportation isn't necessary due to the proximity to ferry terminals.
    • Minimum Drinking Age: California's minimum drinking age is 21. Some places, especially wineries and distilleries, restrict entry for anyone underage. Consider this when booking your wine tour.
    • Online Calendar: Our online calendar, available in 10+ languages, governs all tours. Due to functionality, when Alcatraz tickets sell out, we can't block the calendar for those dates. Our website terms clearly outline Alcatraz tour and ticket reservation conditions.
