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.

Muir Woods is beautiful. The lunch stop in Sausalito is super fun. Gives you a great feel for the town. Lots of great information offered by guide. Photo opportunity at bridge were really nice. Alcatraz add on was worth it. Both my husband and I enjoyed the day.

Absolutely the best way to spend the day! My husband and i did not want the hassle or expense of renting a car and trying to navigate the sights. Not only was this tour the perfect way to hit the SF highlights as well as Muir Woods, Sausalito and Alcatraz- Alex, our tour guide, was phenomenal! He is so kind and knowledgeable and such a gracious host - we cannot recommend this tour enough! thank you SF Excursions and Alex!!

Absolutely fantastic! The driver shared a lot of knowledge about San Fransisco. Beautiful day! The Muir Woods was serene. Had a stunning 2 mile hike though the woods. Would have loved an extra 30 minutes in Sausalito but had a wonderful lunch at the Spinnaker. Highly recommend!

This tour was so comprehensive, if you only had one day in San Fran this is the tour you would do. We saw and experienced so much and it all ran very smoothly. Brendan went above and beyond as our tour guide, we highly recommend booking this experience, you won’t be disappointed!
