Do not use these people!!!
Arrived just before our pre-booked time and waited in line only to be told when we got to the front that we needed to go back in half an hour to queue up again.
Toilets were disgusting too.

Graeme Elliott,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry that the wait and restroom conditions did not meet your expectations. We'll address these issues to improve our service. In regards to having to queue up again, we cannot take guests earlier than the time they are allocated so you would need to return at time of booking.

Good trip out to see the Statue of Liberty.Food and drinks available plus toilet facilities on the ferry.When your on Liberty island you can take as long as you want as there are ferries going back to the main land on regular intervals. The views from the island out to Manhatton are really good plus you are close up to the Statue aswell.
Highly reccomended.

The Statue of Liberty was nice.
There was no overhead or some kind of protection from the sun. It was extremely hot with no shade

Give it back to the Indians.

What a waste of time to visit this wreck of a prison. The government doesn't do anything to show you what it must have been like to be a prisoner, except to show you the cells and minimal artifacts. The free guided tour was somewhat interesting. Lots of areas were closed to the public. The government should hire an outside contractor to make it more entertaining.

Hello BRUCE CAMPBELL,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We regret that the prison tour did not meet your expectations and that many areas were inaccessible. We'll consider your suggestion to enhance the visitor experience and make it more engaging.

Alcatraz is well worth taking the time to visit.

The experience was well managed from the time we got to the departure area, through to the ferry to the island, the self guided tour on the island itself and the return trip on the ferry.
Alcatraz is some place, well worth visiting.
