Alcatraz Island was a bright spot in my first trip to San Francisco. I was able to see the seals at Fishermans Wharf, golf at Golden Gate Park, drive down Lombard Street, visit Haight/Ashbury, etc etc...The audio tour for Alcatraz Island was fantastic and far exceeded my expectations. The boat ride over had great views of the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate. Once on the island things were organized and our guides were friendly. I won't spoil the audio tour for you but its a must when visiting the area.
