Introduction
Escape the city for a morning amidst nature and a charming seaside town. This half-day tour takes you across the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods National Monument, where you’ll wander beneath towering old-growth redwood trees in a peaceful forest. After enjoying the tranquility of the redwoods, you’ll head to Sausalito, a postcard-pretty waterfront town, to browse art galleries, grab a coffee, or enjoy the bay views. You can return to San Francisco on the tour bus or opt to stay longer in Sausalito and take a scenic ferry ride back on your own.
What To Expect

- Stop at a vista point for a fantastic perspective of the Golden Gate and Alcatraz, and wind through the rolling emerald hills of the Marin Headlands to arrive at Muir Woods.

- After Muir Woods, take a short drive to the artistic bayside village of Sausalito.
- Capture wonderful photos of the San Francisco skyline during a stroll along the waterfront, pop into one of the many art galleries and grab a cappuccino or ice cream at a local café (own expense).
