This self-guided tour takes you through Alcatraz's most compelling sites—from military outposts and prison cells to protest graffiti and windswept gardens—revealing how a small rocky island became a symbol of both control and resistance. With the app's GPS and map, you can freely navigate, pause, or replay sections to immerse yourself in the real history behind the myths, set against panoramic views of San Francisco Bay.

This is a scam you can download the app for free. It does not gain you entry to the site. The app also doesn’t pick up what sites you are visiting they are all jumbled up.

ARNAQUE, le site vend des "Billets d'entrée" où l'entrée n'est pas comprise. Il est ensuite indiqué que tout remboursement est impossible.
