The tour of Alcatraz departs
daily from Fisherman's Wharf in
San Francisco. Alcatraz was used
as a federal maximum security
prison from 1934 until 1963,
when it was closed due to high
costs and security issues.

Alcatraz has proven far more
popular and much more
profitable.

are the tours that generate the
highest sales for us, so we know

On the right side of every page,
the Tour & Activity Types"
are displayed. We categorize
each tour and activity to make
it easy for you to find the

"Alcatraz Tours" under the Tour

the summaries that sound
interesting, and you can read
the full description for the
