Leon, is the actual 'Behind the Scenes Tour' important to you guys? Before I moved out here, and a couple of times since, we went to The Rock, and never bothered with taking the tour. It's a pretty small place and just wandering the grounds, going in Al Capone's cell, the yard, and on and on, is more than enough. There is so much info and pictures posted on the walls everywhere, that you don't need someone telling you anything, especially if you've seen any of the countless documentaries about the place. I would just buy a regular ticket, hop on the ferry and make a cool day of it. Of course, the regular tickets sell out all the time, too, so make sure you get yours in advance.
When you hit Napa, definitely grab some photo ops at Castello di Amorosa.
