San Francisco City Tour + Muir Woods

San Francisco City Tour + Muir Woods

This combined tour delivers the perfect introduction to Northern California, taking you from the towering ancient redwoods of Muir Woods to San Francisco's most famous landmarks. You'll spend your morning walking amongst 1,000-year-old coastal redwoods that reach over 260 feet tall, then explore the city with a flexible 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus pass covering 16 key stops.

The tour begins with transport north to Muir Woods National Monument, where well-marked trails guide you through one of California's last old-growth coastal forests. The cool, quiet atmosphere under the dense canopy offers a striking contrast to the city energy you'll experience later. After your forest walk, you'll receive a 24-hour city tour pass to explore San Francisco at your own pace, with live English commentary and audio guides in 10 languages.

Your city exploration covers major sights including the Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown, the Financial District, San Francisco City Hall, and the Ferry Building. The route also includes a stop in the Mediterranean-style seaside town of Sausalito, where you can browse boutique shops and galleries with bay views. For those planning more extensive Alcatraz Island tours or looking to explore other Golden Gate Bridge experiences, this tour provides an excellent foundation.
