The tour combined a very informative and entertaining drive-by of many of the main San Francisco sights with the drive to Muir Woods. We had a good amount of time at Muir Woods to walk the paths and be among the grand redwoods. We choose to get off the bus in Sausalito for lunch and the ferry back to San Francisco.
Our guide, Kevin, was great. A native San Franciscan who knew and loves his city. He both informed and entertained. A great experience.
Entrance to Muir Woods is not included. If you have a National Parks pass don’t forget to bring it.
A great way to get from San Francisco to Muir Woods if you don’t have a car

Our guide, Mark, gave us a great history lesson of both San Francisco, in general, and Chinatown, in particular. The dim sum were delicious, and the focaccia pizza from Golden Boy Pizza was out of this world. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting.

Awe-inspiring tour
A fabulous way to spend an afternoon! Our driver and guide, Lester, provided tons of information and humor on the drive from Fisherman's Wharf, over the Golden Gate Bridge, thru the Robin Williams Tunnel, up Mount Tamalpais and into the Muir Woods. The main trails were easy and filled with gorgeous redwoods, ferns, and moss.
We then went to Sausalito for a bit of shopping and ice cream. Yum! I wish we'd been able to spend a bit more time there, but it wasn't a huge deal.

Redwood trees are beautiful!!
Ben was our tour guide and he was great. The tour started going through parts of San Francisco that you would normally not see and hear about. Our first stop was the Golden Gate Bridge for a few minutes. Then we took the drive up to Muir Woods. Muir Woods is beautiful and quiet. We went all the way to bridge 4 in about an hour but we are fast walkers and we still were able to stop and take in the beautiful trees and take pictures. We would recommend this tour.

Excellent introduction to a fascinating city, especially for those never having visited.
Dirceu knows the city and its history so well that he drove us to all the neighborhoods without ever backtracking, spoke with relish about the people and places and answered question's accurately. He met us promptly, respected our request to have a lunch break and used the time perfectly. There were 6 of us -- all adults -- and the two rear seats would probably be uncomfortable for those 6ft and over and window views not as spacious as the seats in middle and with driver. This a minor issue for sure. Also, Dirceu pointed out that going early in the day, preferably not on a Sunday, allows for much less traffic and perhaps more opportunities to stop and look around.

Amazing walking tour
Britt was so friendly and knowledgeable. This was a thorough introduction to the city and it really helped us to appreciate the layout and history/heritage of the city. It included a tram ride which was fun. It was a full four hours of walking & sightseeing.

Great 1/2 Day Tour
The only thing I regret is not booking the full-day tour! Our guide, Jamie, took us on a cable car ride to the top of Nob Hill, then on a bus and subway all around town. As a San Francisco native, Jamie was an absolute fount of knowledge. This was a perfect way to get to experience the city. I would sign up for another tour with this operator any day!

As someone who’s visited...
As someone who’s visited SF Chinatown throughout my life, there’s always something new to discover and this tour was a fantastic way to do that. Sure, I could have gone to the restaurants on the itinerary myself, but nothing beats learning the history and what makes this place special with a group of fun people while eating yummy food. Shoutout to my tour guide Kenric, who did an amazing job bringing these stories to life!

Great authentic food and murals
Great tour of the Mission district with authentic food and wonderful murals. Jamie, our guide, was a wealth of local knowledge and we had great fun chatting to him. Our group was only 5 people which made the tour a lot of fun full of great information about this area of SF.

Beautiful woods
We really enjoyed this trip. Our guide provided lots of interesting facts about the city and its different areas. It was great to cross the Golden Gate bridge, visit Sausalito and the woods were fascinating. The ride down the steep streets was an added bonus.

Anthony was an amazing host and assisted with the itinerary. Which made the trip so much more enjoyable. It was great having someone who knows the valley and could give suggestions that’s locals may only know. Will definitely be booking him for our next trip!!
