The Alcatraz tour is easily one of the coolest things you can ever visit in your life. You can literally feel the history as you walk around it. It should be on everyone's bucket list. I loved that tour when I went to San Fran and I hope to do the nighttime tour some day.

The black knife shapes is where the actual knifes would hang. That made it easy for the guards to see if one was missing. The same thing was done in the various workshops to make sure none of the tools went missing.

In my humble opinion, you should receive a Oscar from the academy awards for your video content. One of the most interesting channels on the public format. 🎥

I used to be the night watchman on Alcatraz. I would be out there by myself all night. Yes it’s definitely haunted. It’s a whole different experience being the only one on the island all night.

My husband is 50 next year and this is one of our stops on our trip. Bucket list ticked. Greetings from the UK! Great to see you back Adam.

I went to Alcatraz several years ago. I was impressed by it and it’s history. When you enter the main jail cells you feel the anger, pain, frustration of those who lived there. Impressive

When I visited the Rock, they said that the shadows of the knives were painted so that if one was stolen, they would know immediately which one was missing and what to look for

Ironic all the inmates trying to escape all those years now people pay to get in😁😎morning Adam! This was incredibly RAD

I was literally just watching a documentary on Alcatraz! Thanks Adam! Love your videos man. Fun fact - Over the 29 years there were 36 inmates who staged 14 escape attempts, 23 were recaptured only 5 are still missing, presumed drowned. Again thank you. Peace....

We loved Alcatraz when we visited! We did the night tour and the views were incredible

You’ve always been a great teacher Adam. Thanks for the tour. Have a great day. :-)

I love all of your videos Mr.Woo,My wife and I Visited Alcatraz on August 2 2019.The biggest shock was in the chow hall and I felt a presence and I mean eerie presence I was standing there in the chow hall and heard a deep whisper in my right ear constantly so I looked around nobody was there. My wife and I went into D block number one and we both felt the ground shake. I never believed in paranormalUntil this day what an experience Alcatraz was for us. Our two hour tour was not enough so we will go back. I want to thank you for all of your videos my friend peace my brother.

I’m 46 and have lived in Sacramento all my life, yet have never made it to see Alcatraz! Thanks for the tour, Adam! Love you!

Always wanted to go see Alcatraz!, (as a tourist of course). I absolutely loved the Clint Eastwood film, By far one of my most favorite movies.

I bet 60 years ago the convicts, workers and families never would have thought the place would become a huge tourist destination years later.

Have fun in SF. I was born and raised in Fremont, CA. There is so much stuff to do and see in the city. Thank you for giving me a chance to see my city again. I can never go back because I have ALS. It's keeping me pretty much at home seeing all the wonderful things through the lens of great folks like you. Peace be with you. See if you can find Grace Slick. I hear she's awesome and friendly. Thanks again Adam the Woo.

I visited Alcatraz in 2013 during the WBC. I still don't regret I decided to visit it. Very impressive and educational.

Went here on a school field trip in the 80s. I enjoyed it, but it was super creepy.

Great video, glad you got to explore it. We did two vids here, one during day and one at night. One of my favorite places to explore! Wish we could collab someday when you're around the Bay!

I am absolutely loving the return of old school ATW videos!!

The cell with the paper mache head and the "creepy hallway between the cells" were all part of the escape plan.

I lived in San Francisco 23 years, went to alcatraz only once with friends for an evening tour. Once was more than enough. There are unseen and mysterious happenings there. I'm surprised, Adam, you didn't mention that long before the White man came and carnaged the area, the local Native Americans used the island for ceremonial purposes. The bay around that area is relatively shallow in places, and has rocky out croppings(your noting the small continuous wave). The currents there are extremely quick and can change without a moment's notice. On a beautifully clear day, those who can, take their pleasure sailboats out and cruise the bay around there. It can get crowded, but what a wonderful sight to behold. Jacob's "power" comment is right on point. Both of you are the best "Road Trip Companions"!!

So glad you took me to Alcatraz, I loved it a lot, so atmospheric!

"JOIN ME SHALL YOU" THIS NEVER GETS OLD ADAM

My daughter and I went to San Francisco and to Alcatraz in August of 2018. Best vacation ever I LOVE San Francisco. I want to go back again some day.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Adam for not putting music over your videos. I love hearing you, and the ambience of the location!! You are THE BEST on the WWW!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam, they paint the sizes and shapes of the knives and kitchen ware so that after being used by the inmate staff, when returned, the guard knows every piece was put back. If a spot remains open at the end of each shift, the guards know exactly which piece is missing, including the shape and size by its painted on silhouette. Prisons also do that with the tools inmates use when working.

This is such an iconic place! The whole location makes you think it's the last place you would ever want to be. The Rock was such a craptastic movie!

Great video , we visited the island a few years ago , the self guided tour gets eerie when you find yourself just wandering around & end up on the yard alone lol , great video again , Adam

Would love to go to this place.... I can only dream!

I went there on an awards trip. I was in the military. It was San Francisco and I only saw Alcatraz at a distance. I saw the Golden Gate Bridge. I went on a Navy 🚢 ship. I fell down the stairs. My 👠 heels got caught in the steps. I had the hugest bruise. It hurt....I saw the winding street and Pier 39. It was a nice city. I saw Presidio, the ex Naval Base. I was in the Army-just wanted to get that straight. 💘 Adam the Woo.

I went there about four years ago and it was an incredible sight to see. It was a great tour if you ask me. Everybody should go see it. Thank you for your great vlogs Adam. Keep up the great work.

Hard to believe that was your first trip to the Rock... You mentioned Al.Capone, they promote his cell at Eastern State Penitentiary bigtime during Haunt Season.

One of my favorite vacations was going to California, to Alcatraz and San Diego zoo, and Monterey bay. Thanks Adam

I’m happy to see you on The Rock man, definitely one of the most awesome places I’ve ever visited. Congratulations on becoming a junior ranger lol

My wife and I went there back in 2005 and took the tour. Im a big fan of Escape From Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood so that was a treat!! Oh, I forgot to mention, there was no tram back them, it was all walking!!!

Escape From Alcatraz starring Clint Eastwood

By far this has been one of my favorite things I have done in my traveling life. My wife and I so enjoyed this tour and the history on the island. It is amazing.

This was really captivating Adam🥇 Enjoyed myself quite a bit 👍🏼 Thank you ♥️👩🏼‍🦰😉🌉!!

Warden : No one has ever escaped from Alcatraz. And no one ever will Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin : Hold our Beers. The Dummy head you are looking at at 6:24 is probably one of the three used by Morris and the Anglin Brothers when the escaped in 1962. They've never been recaptured and no bodies have ever been found.

If I visit California someday Alcatraz is definitely one place I've always wanted to see and it's a bucket list thing for me ☺☺

Although I have been to San Francisco and rode down Lombard Street and went across the Golden Gate Bridge, I have not been to Alcatraz. They were not giving tours during that time period. I’ve been suggesting for you to go to Alcatraz since you first moved to LA. Thank you for finally finding the time to get there! It’s much appreciated!

This was a fantastic vlog, Adam. I like seeing things that they don't show often in specials and such. Always wanted to go there, but never got the chance. Thank you for the wonderful video!!!

I was there last month. I couldn't believe how windy and cold it was. It's the first week of August, and I'm wearing a coat!!!

Always wanted to take the trip there & the tour. BUT ESPECIALLY for the fantastic views as I love taking photos of such views....just another on my LONG list of places... LOVED the film The Rock of which was my FIRST rated R film at 15/16.

Hello Adam! My Dad took me there a long time ago when I was about 12 years old. Thnx For a Memory Lane Episode! Enjoying the WOO! CJ

I last went to Alcatraz when I was 10 or 11 with my Girl Scout Troop. Still remember the terrifying feeling of being locked into a solitary cell for 2 minutes. I want to go back, I’ve lived in SF since 1984, it looks like the National Park Service has totally improved things since c. 1974!

There's just no escaping it. This was a great video!

Thank you for that awesome tour! That was so interesting!! You're my favorite you tuber by far

Another nice "old Adam the Woo" video wich i loved so much. It`s good to see your back toy your old self. Much better than all those Disney vlogs.....thumbs up

Good job. Went there a few years ago and enjoyed seeing it again through your eyes.

"Robert Stroud would be proud". Got a good laugh at that. Bravo!

My great grandfather was a guard and my grandmother would tell stories about taking the boat over everyday to the mainland for school.

The outline of the knives was where the real knives were kept by the prisoners, it was used to keep track of the knives.

born and raised in San Francisco and it's awesome to see you hit all the tourist sites Adam! Love seeing it thru your eyes. :)

Adam, please go to the redwoods in Northern California and do a VLOG it’s an amazing place!

I was always fascinated with Alcatraz. I went there when I was a teenager on the tour

The silhouette of the knives was for guard identification - like a tool board in a shed. Everything had a place and they needed to be in open view.

Adam this is one of your better vlogs. Your narration and editing is second to none among all KZfaq vloggers. Great work!!

This episode belongs in the Adam The Woo hall of fame.

1:19 Alcatraz looks smaller than what I'd imagined. Very cool place.

I was watching another video on Alcatraz and walked out of the room for a few minutes and then all of a sudden I heard Adam's voice. It was kinda scary since I was all alone and previously the video was from a prior inmate. I ran into my laundry room where I left my lap top since I was working in there. I was so happy to see Adam the Woo. I can tell his voice without seeing him. What a happy accident!

Being from the bay,I've seen so much cool stuff that we take for granted.moved to sacramento and miss every minute.born and raised in vallejo.and I truly "left my heart in san francisco"/ vallejo.Adam if ur still in the bay check out angel island.

I have spent lots of time over the years in SF and always wanted to go to Alcatraz. Maybe next time I’m there I’ll finally do it

Just before 10:00 the paintings of the knives is for accountability, it is called a “shadow board”. Most prisons do this in the kitchen, tool rooms, etc.

I got to go there way back in 1985. It's on my bucket list to go one more time.

Another good one Adam. It's been nice to see Jacob with you the last few days also. Cheers from TX.

Did the tour in 2014. It is oddly fascinating and depressing all at the same time.

I'm 15 love history I have wanted to go to alcatraz for a while now but I would have a better experience if there weren't as many people but hopefully I do make it someone before the sea waters air crumbles "The Rock".

Class video. No B/S, no crappy music, just great informative content. Creepy place, though.

Great video. I hope to tour Alcatraz one day

One of the better explorations with commentaries I’ve seen, you’ve earned a sub! Keep it up man :) hopefully we can become as good as you one day!!

I have to say what a amazing job you do on your videos man, there are a lot of channels I can get bored of real quickly but yours I can't get enough of, Keep up the great work. ~Bryan from Kingston Ontario Canada

There was 3 prisoners, that wanted to escape the impossible so one night they did it, and when the governor found out, they stopped paying for the prison and closed it. But they were recaptured, and in prisons way harder to escape.

This is SO exciting to watch because my daughter and i were there last year in August. We LOVE San Francisco. We went to Alcatraz and and we saw the sea lions and other things. Don't forget to eat at Bubbagump Shrimp its yummy with scenery of Alcatraz. Thanks for sharing this Adam glad you finally made it there.

Superb I’m from the uk but this is something I have to tick off the bucket list within a couple of years

Nice ending. Just the sights and sounds of San Francisco. It was like watching the end of CBS Sunday Morning

Those friggin hats Omgosh halarious.!! Really interesting, I have a Alcatraz hat I’ve had for years and years, my sister and brother-in-law went to Alcatraz. And they brought me back a baseball cap that says Alcatraz on it.! I always have it displayed.!! Super cool.!

Very awesome bucket list for sure!!! Hi seagull 🤣. Every time I see San Francisco I think of full house and the Opening song from one they’re going over the Golden Gate bridge

It's quite humorous , most guys were trying to get out . You had it on your list to get in .😂 You've done your duty .

I really enjoyed all the scenic shots and natural sounds nd that you included in th s one Adam! Kinda lets us just sit back and enjoy the raw experience along with you. Nice work! Thank you!👍🏼🤘🏼😎

I was there in 1985 with some high school classmates. We had a tour guide. I remember being able to go into the cafeteria. They also closed us into one of the solitary confinement cells. That was freaky. I don’t remember there being a gift shop.

Hey Adam. Love your new filming technique. Beautiful framing and Cinematography. Been an avid follower for almost 4 years.

Cool to see that little tour of the Bay afterward too!

As always, great stuff man. Really been liking these shots at the ends of your videos lately. Really nice and atmospheric.

By far one of your best videos.

Nice video Adam. I went there in 85 and 01. In 85 they would let you go out to the exercise yard. I have been fascinated with Alcatraz all my life. I plan to visit it again soon.

I visited this place back in 2003. Looks exactly how I remember it.

The Streets of San Francisco, Love it. Oh, and yes Alcatraz too.

Thank you Adam & Jacob , what a treat ! Xxx

Awesome. The DailyWoo. I am glad that you enjoyed my City and my Home of S.F. I had visited Alcatraz myself and it is an amazing place! I am also happy that you enjoyed Alcatraz!

HAVE you noticed that every time they tell the story of the escape, they always add the so called fact that there was no way they could have made it. YET THERE'S a 3 million dollar reward for there capture.

Adam , I got homesick from watching your video and you did a fantastic job ! There's so much to see there like the Cable Car Museum , Coit Tower , The Wax Museum on Fisherman's Wharf , Chinatown , North Beach , Twin Peaks , Golden Gate Park , Haight-Ashbury , Oracle Park , home of the San Francisco Giants which is enough to keep you busy for a few days . You also have movie locations too that still stand like the Mrs . Doubtfire house , the house where Full House was filmed in , Dirty Harry and Bullitt movie locations , including the route Steve Mc Queen & the bad guys took during the famous chase scene . There's also Karl Malden' s house on Wisconsin Street in Potrero Hill neighborhood when he played Lt . Mike Stone in The Streets of San Francisco . Michael Douglas's character Inspector Steve Keller's house was on the 200 block of Union Street in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood . You may also research the filming locations of Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte's " 48 Hours " , and " Another 48 Hours " . The 007 flick " A View To A Kill " was filmed there along with many other great movies and tv shows .

Thank you for this WONDERFUL VIDEO! I have always wanted to go to Alcatraz! But because I could never afford it you just made my day! Because in my mind I was there because of you! Thanks again so very much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It truly is an eerie place. It really had quite the history after the prison closed.

This is actually on our bucket list to visit Adam. there is so much history and interesting stories from there.

those knife silhouettes were actually to identify when a knife is missing, and to know exactly which one

Been inside Alcatraz and it's definitely intimidating and erie

fun fact... Robert Stroud died at the federal Medical facility in Springfield Mo
