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.

5.00The tour provided a great intro to the SF (Embarcadero, Chinatown, North Beach and restaurant recommendations) as well as some fantastic stops from which to view the Golden Gate Bridge. Muir Woods was stunning and we had a lovely lunch and stroll around Sausalito. Per was a great host with a good sense of humour, and went out of his way to offer further SF site-seeing options for after the tour.
The absolute best!!!

5.00Brendan, our tour guide, was absolutely knowledgeable, funny, and all around a great guy to take us where we needed to go! The tour had so much more to offer than we even thought imaginable. There were chips and snacks, water, and a very personable good time. The only recommendation as a customer is to other customers to make sure that they are on time back to the van! We would take this tour again in a heartbeat! Our first day in San Francisco was a little disheartening as we took a wrong turn on a street. However, this tour changed our entire outlook.
Awesome

5.00I found it very nice excursion, Mui Woods, a space of tranquility and very beautiful landscapes, aromas and sounds of nature, El Sausalito, a beautiful and quiet place, with beautiful views, the visit to Alcatraz is very interesting, sometimes reality surpasses fiction.
Great overview of the city
