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.

5.00I really felt like this was a great price and a wonderful experience. I enjoyed the group size, fun commentary, and Per, the tour guide! Had about 1:15 at Muir Woods, and 1:15-1:20 in Sausalito. Enjoyable ride and comfortable bus. I enjoyed the free snacks and water. Please make note admission into Muir Woods is not included and would likely be $15 per adult unless you are disabled or perhaps a veteran. Thank you for the great time and stunning views! I would and have already recommended this to my coworkers and friends. Also tip your tour guides! :-)

4.00Sully was super friendly and made my experience enjoyable, especially with his music playlist and knowledge of the local area. The duration was a long day so be prepared for lots of walking, especially if you are also visiting Alcatraz. Muir Forest was amazing and timing was great. Lunch was only an hour so there was not enough time for a sit down meal so opted for a pizza slice and milkshake instead. Our drop off for Alcatraz did not allow us enough time to collect our ticket causing us to be bumped to the next timeslot so extra waiting time. I highly suggest printing and passing out the QR code tickets to bypass having to collect tickets at the kiosk. That was a bit stressful! Otherwise the transportation vehicle was comfortable and the snacks were appreciated.
Good experience, great tour guide!

5.00A good tour that hits many of the San Francisco landmarks - our tour guide (Sullivan) was very knowledgeable, shared historical insights and stories about the city, and was a very capable photographer! Definitely would recommend this experience for those who do not want the driving hassle.
