This half-day small-group tour begins with a narrated drive from downtown San Francisco or Fisherman's Wharf to the northern side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Along the way, the guide points out landmarks including the Palace of Fine Arts and the Presidio, the city’s oldest area featuring the new Presidio Highway, Tunnel Top Gardens, and Crissy Field. The tour crosses the Golden Gate Bridge, opened in 1937 and painted orange-red for visibility in fog, with a brief stop at Vista Point to see views of the bridge, Fort Baker, downtown San Francisco, and the Lone Sailor bronze sculpture honoring naval service members. After crossing into Marin County, the group travels toward Muir Woods National Monument, passing sights such as Richardson Bay, Sausalito, Tiburon, Strawberry Point, and Mount Tamalpais, while the guide shares local history. At Muir Woods, participants have about one hour and twenty minutes to walk among the old-growth coastal redwoods, which cover 240 acres of the 554-acre park located 12 miles north of San Francisco. The forest is cool and moist year-round due to coastal fog, and the redwoods are among the tallest living trees on Earth. Following the visit to Muir Woods, the tour continues to Sausalito for approximately one hour, where visitors can appreciate the waterfront and hear about the town’s history. The return trip to San Francisco takes about 30 minutes. Guests may choose to stay longer in Sausalito and return independently by ferry or Uber; ferry tickets are not included. Hotel pickup and drop-off are provided, along with bottled water and a professional guide. Entrance fees to Muir Woods are covered for tickets purchased after July 1, 2024.
