Muir Woods & Sausalito Tour (approx. 4 hours)
Your tour departs from Fisherman's Wharf with a knowledgeable guide on board the bus. On the way to Muir Woods, you will cross the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge with breathtaking views of San Francisco, before cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway. Relax in your comfortable seat and enjoy the beautiful scenery while your tour guide shares fun and informative facts along the way.
Muir Woods is home to the Coast Redwoods, some of the tallest trees in the world, and it is the last remaining stands of Old Growth Forest. With maps in hand, take a walk through the spectacular woods and take in all of its natural beauty. There are a number of paved walking trails that take you close to the magnificent giants, or you can explore the area by using the unpaved walking trails leading up the hills.
After exploring Muir Woods, we will head to charming Sausalito, a small Mediterranean-style seaside town in Marin County, home to some of the country's wealthiest citizens. Sausalito is a beautiful destination that offers boutique shopping, unique art galleries, parks, amazing food and breathtaking views of the bay.
If you wish to spend time in Sausalito, you can choose to hop off the tour and take the ferry back to San Francisco (ferry tickets not included), or you can stay on board the tour and return back to Fisherman’s Wharf.
1 Day Hop-On Hop-Off City Tour
Enjoy this Hop-On Hop-Off City Tour on an open-top bus and see all popular attractions of San Francisco, including a drive across the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge. Visit the exciting attractions at Pier 39, watch the popular sea lion colony and see many other sights along the waterfront. Explore Chinatown, North Beach, the Civic Center and Haight Ashbury, or go shopping at Union Square. Take a stroll in Golden Gate Park or around the Palace of Fine Arts, and try the ‘fresh catch-of-the-day’ at Fisherman’s Wharf.
The highlight of the tour is the ride across San Francisco’s most iconic landmark, the Golden Gate Bridge. While crossing the 1.7-mile span on an open-top bus you will have breathtaking views of the bridge, Alcatraz Island and the stunning skyline. Hop off at North Vista Point to take your best selfie, or walk across the bridge high above the bay.
You can choose to stay on the bus for the full tour and see all major highlights of San Francisco in 2 hours, but with your flexible 1-day ticket you are free to explore the city at your own pace and hop on and off the bus as often as you like for the entire day. The tour guides or audio commentary provide fun and informative insights about San Francisco while you enjoy the most amazing views of the city.
