Full description

Explore the ancient groves of coastal redwoods in Muir Woods National Monument alongside an expert guide on a half-day tour. Then discover the charming streets of Downtown Sausalito on a relaxed half-day tour.

After a pick-up from a central San Francisco hotel, head north over the bridge and into the Marin Headlands. If the fog is clear, you might get a chance to stop and take some pictures of the bridge up close.

When you arrive in Muir Woods, take an hour and a half to roam through this ‘living museum’ where you can glimpse the towering trees that used to dominate the west coast from Santa Barbara to Washington.

Following your exploration of Muir Woods, hop back in the coach for a quick ride over to Sausalito. Enjoy a 15-20 minute, narrated in-coach tour through the beautiful seaside Mediterranean-style town, and then some free time to walk around.

After about 45 minutes in Sausalito, hop back in the coach for a trip back across the Golden Gate Bridge, or opt for a ferry ride back to San Francisco. You'll be dropped back off at your pick-up point.

This half-day tour is a great way to see all the highlights of the northern San Francisco Bay in a limited amount of time.

I never use guides services and always try to do things on my own. But I am definitely glad I used Get Your Guide. No running or stressing or wondering what to do next. Showed up early, drank a pint at a nearby Irish Pub then we were on our way. Our guide, Parker, was great. Informative and fun. Told stories and facts along the ride. Explained exactly what to do at our stops. Good dude. Good trip. Plenty of time and no hassle or worry. Do it.

The tour was very well organized with amazing staff. I traveled with a family group of three adults and one child (12 years old). We had plenty of time to explore each location and our driver Jay was very knowledgeable. He shared tons of history and interesting facts during the entire trip. I will definitely be using this company again in the future.

The length of the trip is very accommodating. Mitch, our tour guide, is excellent,fun and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a grand time. Which we did. When I return to SF, I'll make sure he'll be the one to provide the tour. The best!
