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.

Excellent, it was better than expected. Tour guide was great. Stopped a few times for pictures at various famous landmarks which I didn't expect but definitely appreciated. Only wish we had more time in Sausalito.

This tour was fabulous! We chose the half day trip without Alcatraz. The fee is very fair, and I did not mind paying at Muir Woods. This was a great trip. Our Guide was terrific, you could tell he enjoyed giving the tour. We enjoyed the small tour of the city and hearing the tidbits of history from our guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide was excellent, he really showed passion for what he was doing and really put an effort in telling us everthying he knew. He also created a playlist of songs related to the things we were seeing. The trip went also very smoothly, we did have some limited time in Muir Woods but it was just enough to make the trails snd ejoy the sights. If I had to say something, and it would be because I am nitpicking because we loved it, I wish I would have been able to hear better the tour guide when we were in the bus. The windows were open and while driving I heard more of the outside than him. But overall an amazing experience and for sure to be recommended!!!

Awesome experience! Tour guide Per was tremendous. Made the atmosphere extra special, welcoming, fun, and informative. Very good value overall. This was our second tour on our 3-day trip and it worked out so perfectly since there is so much to see and do in the Bay Area - what we missed on the first tour we saw on this one! Nice size group of 10-12 folks that gave you the ideal blend of solo/group time. Would definitely recommend and do again next time!
