5.00We had a day to pass in San Francisco to break up a much longer trip. This was a perfect way to enjoy the city and Sausalito. Muir Woods was a magical place, and despite the dreary weather, we had a lovely experience. Alex was a fantastic tour guide, and as a native, he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city. Overall, I would highly recommend.

5.00If you’re looking for a great introduction to San Francisco and the many places worth exploring, this tour is an excellent way to begin. It highlights the city’s top attractions, including a visit to the majestic Muir Woods, where you can fully immerse yourself in nature. Afterward, you’ll enjoy lunch in Sausalito, a perfect spot to relax and take in views of the San Francisco skyline. Our guide, Sully, was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable.
