INSIDE Alcatraz Prison In San Francisco - FULL Island Tour!

[@jenslife8959]

Went to San Francisco last month, last time before that was 19 years ago and we took our kids this time and we all loved it! We also did Alcatraz and we all really enjoyed it. Never felt unsafe at all but we knew which areas to stay away from. It’s a beautiful city. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@FraserJCovers1975]

What a great video...........What KZbin is all about.......Thank you soooo much! I always think of Clint Eastwood when seeing Alcatraz from Dirty Harry and the Escape film! x

[@boweryboy07]

So glad you guys got a sunny day for your visit to Alcatraz! I hope you enjoyed the city. It's where I was born and raised so it holds a special place in my heart now that I've moved away. The other bridge is the Bay Bridge that heads over to Oakland. The island it's built through is Treasure Island which was the location of the 1939 San Francisco Worlds Fair. It was a lesser known worlds fair because it was overshadowed by the 1939 New York Worlds Fair.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

We had a great time!

[@no-secret-chart]

Great job on this. I agree with you that Alcatraz is an emotional place to visit. Great to see our old stomping grounds. My husband and I met in the SFO Bay area and then moved in San Diego for a few years. I'm looking forward to the rest of your vlogs in Cali!

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It was amazing to see it!

[@CatsnCoasters]

I went here back in 1996!! Still have very vivid memories of Alcatraz & Fisherman's Wharf. Hope you found the time to go on the old trams...they're great!

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thanks for sharing. We ride the cable cars in a future video on the way!

What a brilliant vlog guys. I bet it felt surreal being there in person . Love watching this vlog take care glad you enjoyed yourselves.

[@gavinhodgkins6643]

Thank you so much guys, great video. Alcatraz looks an amazing place to visit but so spooky too. Would love to do that tour as looks brilliant. I think the night time tour would be epic, however I think it would be a case of watch your back.

[@attractionshubno1]

Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte, I’m looking forward to watching the other San Francisco videos

[@David-Angela]

Hi Shawn & Charlotte Big thanks for this blog. One of the best I’ve seen about Alcatraz. We ( wife) and I really liked listening and learnt so much on all the facts about this prison 👏👏 Take care both 👌

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you!

[@JenniferClark24]

I live about 7 hours from San Francisco. First went to Alcatraz when I was about 7 or 8 years old. It's a really awesome tour from what I remember. So glad you enjoyed it.

You are bringing back so many childhood memories! We toured California, vegas, san Francisco and loads of other places i don’t remember now! We couldn’t get to go to Alcatraz i cant remember why so its great to see it. Loving these vlogs, thank you

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It was such a fun experience!

[@billdoty6438]

One of my must sees in my life was Alcatraz. I did it in 2004 and it was amazing. Stayed at hotel in Fisherman’s Wharf. Going into an actual cell was pretty cool. Thanks for showing this, brings back great memories

Drink every time Shawn says ‘fascinating’ 😂 great video guys on my list of places to visit

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Great video. I enjoyed it. Alcatraz is an amazing tour.

[@adamweishaupt2846]

I really didn't like San Francisco when I went there back in 2016, but the Alcatraz tour was definitely the highlight of my trip there.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It was fantastic!

[@rickjamezz838]

Have you been sheltered didn't like SMFH clowns I tell you

[@ScottAinge-tm4lz]

San francisco was wonderful and that island is big

[@rteague1312]

Just came across your channel and found this tour to be very informative. Having worked in a prison for approximately 26 years, I have a keen interest in all things related to prison/corrections. It was like visiting a different country. What held water on the outside may not be the norm on the inside. I’m looking forward to seeing the related videos on your trip to San Francisco.

[@nicolabennett8955]

Loved this. Somewhere I’ve always wanted to go and SF in general but doubt I ever will so thank you

[@emmaj4025]

Brilliant tour guys, thank you

[@amberbryant8141]

Wow 😯 very nice prison tour. Thank you watching it ❤ My mom favorite Alcatraz lighthouse and but wish visit to San Francisco.

[@eppityrrell8236]

I was in San Francisco 35 years ago but didn't get over to Alcatraz just missed the last ferry ✨

[@mattyfowler2k13]

Finally got to go to Alcatraz in July and it was amazing. I loved everything about it

[@leona159]

Hello there, just discover u guys, love you already? Thank you for making me visit this place when I cannot travel at all anymore 🙌🏼😘 God bless

[@greeneyedldy50]

Awesome video guys thank you

[@zombiestyled]

Alcatraz is a fantastic experience. Especially with ex inmates voicing the audio. SF is the best city ive ever been too. Expensive. But such a great city. 100° one minute , and 60° the next. Love it. Walk across the GG bridge if you can.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

It was a fantastic experience

[@ColinStorrie-lw8tk]

Guys great video so much information collected great videos as always x

Great vlog. We did SF a few years back. A terrific tourist city,unlike anybother in the USA. Alcatraz was fascinating, and rode a bike over GG bridge which very cool.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

We absolutely loved our visit!

[@langers8]

When I was there in early 90s you could sit in All Capones cell, not seen it mentioned on this tour. It had just been opened as a tourist venue after kicking the squatters off.

[@rfrover]

Just wanted to clear one thing up that I’ve seen in the comments: The Golden Gate Bridge is named after the entrance to SF Bay. It was called the Golden Gate long before the bridge existed. The official name of the color of the paint on the bridge is “International Orange”.

[@grahamhill6340]

As a Baby Boomer Brit I first took my parents to ALCATRAZ in 1975, and the boat ride was only $2... then after moving to HOLLYWOOD to work in the industry, my new bride and I honeymooned in San Francisco, and again I saw the old federal prison with her. Seemed appropriate starting out a marriage don't you think.. It was the movie ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ 1979, with Clint Eastwood that restored, re-painted the Broadway cellblocks etc. Clint had filmed there three yeats earlier for one of the DIRTY HARRY movies - THE ENFORCER... But Lee Marvin beat him to it when Alcatraz was one of the main sets for POINT BLANK 1967, and it was the very first movie to be shot on the rock! Well Shawn and Charlotte, glad you didn't film the downtown area what with all the stores gone, junkies and despair. Very high crime rate, especially thefts from cars. My mother was robbed in our Travelodge Fishermans Wharf back in 1975, and thats when the crime rate was very low. The views from the Rock are so spectacular, you both were very lucky to have good weather. On movies and TV shows I worked on over the years in San Francisco, we'd lose days waiting for the fog to clear or the rain, and that was in the summertime. But as Mark Twain was famous for saying "the coldest winter I ever spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco." My late friend producer Robert Relyea was Steve McQueen's business partner and good friend, and when they shot BULLITT there, the city mayor went all out to make them welcome and encourage more filming revenue. I've noticed Shawn you love theme parks, well I worked many years at Universal, was even a tour guide when we had the pink iconic Glamor Trams, later I became their studio historian. You could say ALCATRAZ is a theme park in itself, it's the biggest attraction for sure! Now if you went over the Golden Gate bridge you could stop bt the California's second most famous prison SAN QUENTIN... they even have a visitors gift shop, and they sell souvenirs made by the inmates, like well crafted Cable Car lamps... I still have mine from my 1975 visit. Good presentation Shawn, well narrated and detailed... all the BEST to you both! p.s. Bet you can't wait to ride the new rollercoaster at Universal Hollywood, has the best scenic view from atop the hill, expected to open by late 2025... I live nearby and hope you both would allow me to show you the real HOLLYWOOD sights and locations...!

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thanks for sharing!

[@robgreen94]

Gotta love Rebirth Island. Iconic!

[@ItzTheJLife]

Bringing back memories from our Honeymoon back in 2010, we did San fran, vegas and Hawaii. Loved Charlotte power walking up the hill, I was once fit like that *sob* lol! It's never changed, the menus is still up in dining hall, and the cells are done out the same, 12 years on! I think we must have bought a goldengate and alcatraz tour as I have pictures of us going under the golden gate bridge on the boat too, unless it was a seperate tour. We did a cool speed boat from fishermans wharf too, look fwd to tomorrows vlog from there. Glad you loved it too. 🙂

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

We had a great time!

I’ve always wanted to visit Alcatraz it’s such a historical place to visit. I’ve travelled across the States but never made San Francisco. Maybe it will be on my bucket list one day. I remember the movie too with Clint Eastwood.

Hopefully you can visit at some point!

I have never been there, but I have seen "Escape from Alcatraz" starring Clint Eastwood among others. A great film.

[@roguz444]

I see Coit Tower at 1:58. I hope you got to go there. I love San Francisco. I grew up in Sacramento. A little over an hour away. I’ve been to Alcatraz so many times. Hopefully one day you can be there for St.Patricks Day. It’s so much fun in SF. Lots of pubs with music and people are so nice.

What a lovely place to visit and so much history i love it when you said showers a lot and broken toilets and how much was getting her steps in and almost running up the hills thanks 4 sharing both xx hugs

[@mamnan8953]

I'm so envious, lol. I've been so lucky to travel to many countries America twice. However, on my list of making memories, San Francisco and the prison was 2nd after New Zealand. Unfortunately, my disability and age now stops me from fulfilling that dream. So, as you can imagine, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Keep on doing what you're doing, seize the day, and try your best not to keep putting things on hold. Hope you get my gyst. Thank you for sharing this amazing video 🎉

[@Missy-o1d]

My great grandfather was there and my grandfather told me crazy stories he new Al Capone

[@nigelcraft]

Watching now brings back memories from my visit in 2017 , I did the audio tour and was lucky to do a behind the scenes tour later in the day where we went in the underground part where there were the original cave type cells and also areas normally off limits

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

The audio tour was amazing!

[@RaeAnn_1202]

If you haven’t seen it i recommend the movie “Murder in the First” starring Christian Slater and Kevin Bacon. It was described on the movie poster as "the case that took down Alcatraz". The story is fascinating and sad but important in the history of Alkatraz.

[@stoppropaganda2573]

Great tour guide Shawn! When I lived in San Diego for work, I was fascinated that we would have minor earthquakes a few times a week but when ever we went to the most active area of CA which up near San Francisco, I never felt any even though the San Andreas fault was there. Maybe the small quakes keep southern CA safe by blowing off the pressure slowly instead of the major that quakes happening occasionally in northern CA. I'm not a seismologist but I hope you get/got to feel a small one, very strange sensation. Lately in NJ where I live, we have been getting big quakes ... what are we doing to poor mother earth?!

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thank you. We had a great time!

[@MarcLudford]

I'm in awe of Al Capone such a notorious inmate 😅

[@ericlindstrom8932]

Brings back memories of school fieldrips. I hope you and Charlotte went to the Exploratorium that is now at Fisherman's Warf. There is also the Star Wars Museum at the Presidio. Then the is Golden Gate Park.

[@Ashiitakai]

As a Back to the Future fan you should definitely visit TWIN PINES MALL. It's a short drive from L.A and has barely changed so you'll definitely get huge nostalgia vibes. Sadly there are rumours it's going to be torn down so not many chances to visit this iconic location.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

We plan to check it out!

[@Ashiitakai]

@@TheSanbrookeAdventures awesome you wont regret it. Last time i stayed near Universal and spent 3 hours visiting all the locations (twin pines, dr browns house, marty's house, the high school, enchantment under the sea location, band audition hall), they're all so close and have barely changed at all since the film. Even if it doesnt fit with your channel content you'll love seeing them all! Enjoy! You should also try Yosemite on the way back from San Francisco - the view is up there with the Grand Canyon for scale and pure jaw dropping-ness

[@darren-lee]

The last time I was here, we just had a audio headset to walk around with to listen about the history of the prison and island.

The operator of the trams actually has 2 Blackpool boats, but most of the Heritage stock are known as PCC's(short for President's Conference Committee, where they were first devised) that were built around 80 years ago-Philadelphia (route 15/G), Boston (Mattapan Line), and El Paso (via San Diego) still use their own original PCC units in revenue service. Every other city has long retired them (Toronto still has 2 for charters) or only have second hand (Kenosha, WI and San Diego).

[@neallucas9680]

There's two more things Halloween related I wanted to mention should you have time. The retired Ocean Liner Queen Mary is kept permanently at Long Beach. There's an event called Dark Harbour taking place there right now that hasn't happened in the last five years. Haunted houses both on and off the ship, entertainment, merch and fairground rides. It would be awesome if you have time. Also the Whaley House museum, some say one of the most haunted houses in the USA, is located in Old Town San Diego. They offer a variety of tours, but I'd recommend the Ghosts & Gravestones tour. It's a year round tour that takes you around haunted places in San Diego aboard a bus that's made to look like a tram. It includes the outside of the Whaley House but not inside. It is an awesome tour. Sorry for these long winded comments, just wanted to make you aware for this trip or future ones.

[@TheSanbrookeAdventures]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Surprised they haven’t turned one of the buildings into a Hotel like they have with a couple of them in the UK !! You guys need to stay at Bodmin Jail Hotel it’s amazing as you get to stay in 3 of the cells and there’s a well good attraction there as well
