Anyone else think of Vicky when they see the Alcatraz cells ?

Their food menu was healthier than what they serve kids in our schools 😂

I remember when my husband and I went there in ‘83, it was a guided tour. He had explained that on occasion, ex-prisoners would occasionally would take the tour. When I asked why, thinking they wouldn’t want to be there, the tour guide said they wanted to see it from a different perspective, not as a prisoner. I thought that was fascinating, never even thinking of that.

I'm not shocked that a someone who grew up in San Francisco has not visited any of the tourist traps. I grew up close to Seattle and have never gone up the Space Needle.

the way how the the anglin brothers escaped was they waited around to a cave then waited until near midnight then waded to the docks and tied to the boat when it left at midnight to a waiting boat, there was a 2019 doc about it on history where the family actually wanted more info and the FBI helped , was a good doc, they proved the brothers were alive based on a 1976 photo of them in Brazil, one of the brothers read about how to do ropes and tie to things, most interesting

The 1979 Clint Eastwood movie Escape From Alcatraz comes to my mind.

Back in the day going to Alcatraz was the worst thing that could happen to a person. Now people are paying 50 bucks a head to go there. The times they are a changing.

I have watched just about everything ever written about Alcatraz and have always believed the escape was successful!!!

Was there in April, much less people then...I want to go back and do the night tour...hope you make a stop at the Winchester Mystery House- such a beautifully maintained home.

It's good to know that the native Occupy history is preserved as well.

When I come to Alcatraz, I learned nothing about the history of the island. Instead of that, I compared EVERYTHING to Rebirth Island in CODWZ

Two years ago, my wife and I went there for my 50th birthday. This same time of year too, the first weekend of August.

I visited Alcatraz in 1986 when I was 12 years old. I remember thinking how cool and eerie it was, and even back then there was a sort of beauty in its decaying state. I need to make a return trip at some point being more learned and appreciative of history as I’ve gotten older. Thanks for taking us along on your tour. I really enjoyed this.

Many years since I did that tour of Alcatraz. Love San Francisco and the clam chowder. Thanks for the tour today.

I loved visiting Alcatraz. I did so back in the mid 1980s. We went on an awesome guided tour back then and I bought a souvenir jail cell key. I don't recall being able to roam the island the way you guys did, though...

You lucky dogs! Alcatraz is legit one of my favourite tourist attractions in the entire USA, and I’ve done a lot of them. Such an incredible place of history!! The night cruises are good too; very spooky.

I was in the park service on alcatraz island from 1994-2018, all the signs I put up, 50% of the windows I installed,I did the repairs on the cell doors, concrete repair me,I was the first maintenance worker full time on the island, before me one guy one day a week,thanks you did a good job!

I went on that tour back in 2017 and it was amazing. They have a book store and one of the former prisoners was there, he wrote a book and was signing them. Very interesting. I love history and enjoyed it.

Alcatraz is one of my favorite attractions of all time. Haven't been in almost 20 years. Your video made me wanna get back there SOON. Thanks, guys.

Natalie and Adam, thank you for taking on your video tour. You bring such joy into my day.
