Overview

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 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.

Pear was amazing!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our tour guide Pear was very good. He knew a lot about the history of San Francisco and the areas we visited. The bridge of course was stunning and the Muir Woods were amazing. Great timing too- just the right amount at each stops

Amazing day out in SF

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a fantastic day out. I did book through Viator but if I had known about SF Excursions after reading an advert on the bus I would have booked direct and supported the business. We were picked up at a certain point. Sully our guide was polite, helpful and very informative. We had water and snacks provided. We stopped at photo stops , visited many sights throughout SF, with Sully always telling us about the information on the area we were in. Drove across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, visited Muir Woods a beautiful peaceful haven, back to nature. Then onto Sausalito we had lunch there, alovely town with beautiful views across the Bay. Then back over to Fisherman’s Wharf to take a boat over to Alcatraz. That was also very good and interesting. Back on the boat and we had a leisurely walk back to our hotel. Sully also played music throughout the trip. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting San Francisco. Thankyou for making our trip to SF so memorable.

A very good tour with Pear as our tour guide. Very informative & funny. Snacks were an added bonus. Each parts was excellent.

Well worth the dollars

Published on Jan, 2025

We arrived as Per was parking the bus which was very clean and comfortable. Our host Per kept us entertained all through the journey with his funny quips and his excellent knowledge of the areas we visited. The trip provides just the right amount of walking and sight seeing from the bus. An excellent experience all round

Must Do!
