All of our tour guides are Bay Area Natives, which will help you understand what it’s like to grow up in SF and now live here as grown ups with our own families. You will enjoy an introduction to San Francisco on this 5 to 6 hour tour that includes Neighborhoods like Chinatown, North Beach, Pacific Heights and a trip across the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods National Monument. You'll be driven around the city to see its diverse neighborhoods and geography, stopping several times for photo ops. At Muir Woods, admire the towering redwood trees, and visit the waterfront town of Sausalito for lunch (own expense). Works great for people coming from cruise ships. You cannot book the Alcatraz option under 4 days in advance.

Excellent tour! Brendan, the guide is an SF native with extensive knowledge of the history and the residents. Many entertaining anecdotes. Saw the Golden Gate Bridge, the Presidio, Muir Woods in detail, and had a great lunch in Sausalito! Finished with an entertaining visit to Alcatraz. Highly recommend tour and this operator!

Great trip. The Muir woods are beautiful and well worth a visit. It was a great start to our SF stay and the mini city tour at the end was a great way to decide where else we wanted to visit later. The lunch stop at Sausalito was lovely too. The driver was great and very knowledgable.
