Itinerary

After your cruise ship docks, make your way to meet your bus at Fisherman's Wharf and get comfortable as your driver takes you across the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods National Monument.

Your guide shares the history of this isolated canyon and its coastal redwood trees, which can reach as high as 260 feet (79 meters) and grow for hundreds of years. Have time to walk through the woods and soak in the atmosphere of this vibrant forest on the California coast (Muir Woods tour available in English only).

Next, drive through the town of Sausalito, which sits on the shores of the bay with great views across the water to San Francisco.

Return to San Francisco where you can join your hop-on hop-off bus tour near Fisherman's Wharf. Have the option to disembark at any of more than a dozen stops to explore in depth on your own, then simply hop back on the bus to continue. Learn about San Francisco from live onboard commentary by the guide, or listen to recorded commentary on your own audio headset, with different languages available: English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.

If you have time, your package also includes a sunset panoramic tour and a digital Chinatown walking tour.
