Top San Francisco Cable Car Tours in 2026

Pick up was about 15 minutes late owing to traffic, but once we were with the group, everything was great. Michael was an excellent guide. He narrated the entire drive, which was an added bonus as I was not expecting it. He was full of information about the City of SF and Muir Woods. The Muir Woods trip worked out perfectly. We had plenty of time to buy souvenirs, get our NPS passport stamped, and hike out to the fourth bridge and back. We also managed to stop along the way to hear a free 15-minute ranger talk. We then went on the van to Sausalito, but opted to stay there on our own and take the 1:35 ferry back to SFO. We did miss out on the Vista stop en route to Muir Woods - it was foggy on the way out of SFO, so the guide opted not to stop, instead stopping on the way back to SFO from Sausalito. I wish we had stopped despite the fog. Overall, a great trip. Sometimes I don't like doing tours to parks as I wish I had more time to hike on my own, but the way Muir Woods is set up I didn't really feel like I was missing out on anything by being with a group. Highly recommend!

Had a great day exploring Yosemite with our tour guide Kurt who was very knowledgeable on the area. The initial drive to the park was pretty long but we made a pit stop half way for breakfast, coffee and snacks. On the second half of the journey Kurt played a documentary about the rock climbing revolution at Yosemite which helped pass the time. We then got to spot some rock climbers later in the day! The park itself was breathtaking, with tunnel view being a personal favourite. Unfortunately there was no/little water at the falls we visited, but that’s a seasonal thing and something I hadn’t considered when initially planning the trip. Overall this tour is a great way to see most of the Yosemite highlights in a short space of time and I would highly recommend it - and Kurt!

Throughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend. Great guide - Jamie. Very knowledgable and passionate, took away lots of interesting facts. Travelled like a local. Jamie rexommended a place for lunch (not included) to a middle eastern restaurant, in the area of Haight & Ashbury, food was great. There is a lot of walking so not suitable for the less mobile. It is a long day but for us, worth every minute. We would never had covered the key sights and more alone. The day was well planned logistically to. Not a moment wasted. The is a must do tour. Thanks Jamie!!
