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.

5.00Super informative, knowledgeable, native guide with a passion for his wonderful city. Extra credit for not only being a thoughtful, well-spoken orator, but Alex is an educator and it shows. The tour itself was outstanding but the government shutdown resulted in Muir Woods being closed. Was super bummed about that, but again Alex to the rescue by improvising and filling our tour with extra sites we hadn’t expected. I feel like I’m leaving my first visit to San Francisco well-informed and enlightened by the great history of this beautiful city. Book it- if your experience is even half good as ours, you’ll enjoy it.
Great Tour

5.00SF Excursions did a wonderful job with our tour as Muir Woods was shut down due to the government shut down and Alcatraz was shut down due to maintenance. We saw Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39, The Presidio, China Town, Sausalito, North Beach, Fishermen Wharf, Palace of Fine Arts. He did a wonderful job improvising and showing us many things in San Francisco.
Educational, fun experience and learning about San Francisco
