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.

Packed a lot into one tour. Wish there was more time to stop and explore downtown SF. Patrick was the best part - a great tour guide with an awesome personality makes all the difference!

This was a great way to see the area for the first time. Alex was a rock star guide. I'd recommend this tour to anyone interested in spending a day getting to see the area attractions up close.

Our tour guide was wonderful. Alex who grew up in this area told us many interesting things. Probably would not known these facts if you didn’t grow up in San Francisco. He was pleasant and stayed with the schedule.

This full day trip including Alcatraz was fabulous. Well worth it. We were a family of 4 adults and all really enjoyed the day. Thank you to the tour operator who was very knowledgeable, funny and looked after us all well. Thank you for our Boxing Day trip.

It was a great tour, the places we saw were interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable but seemed to preach at us occasionally.
