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 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.

Amazing experience from beginning to end! Per was pleasant, organized and knowledgeable! The trip gave a wonderful flavor of San Francisco and surrounding areas without being rushed. Muir Woods was dream, like an enchanted forest. My 16 year old son and I highly recommend this experience!

An Unforgettable Tour Experience! We had an absolutely fantastic time on this sightseeing tour! Our guide, Per, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also had a great sense of humor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He shared fascinating stories and insights about the sights, and music, keeping us entertained the entire time. The tour was well-paced, and we got to see some truly breathtaking landmarks. We also loved the lunch recommendations—such a great addition to an already wonderful day! Highly recommended!
