Detailed Itinerary

Afternoon Departure – Crossing the Golden Gate

After hotel pickup, your journey begins with a scenic drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. As the skyline fades behind you, panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay open up before entering the rolling hills of Marin County.

Muir Woods National Monument

Arrive at Muir Woods National Monument, home to majestic Coastal Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens). Walk along shaded trails beneath trees that are over 600 years old and soar more than 250 feet into the sky.

The serene atmosphere of this protected forest offers a powerful contrast to the city. Guests enjoy ample time to explore independently at a relaxed pace.

The Muir Woods entrance fee and parking reservation are included for a seamless experience.

Sausalito Waterfront

Continue to the charming village of Sausalito, known for its Mediterranean-style ambiance, hillside homes and scenic marina.

Enjoy time to stroll along Bridgeway promenade, browse boutique shops and art galleries, or simply admire the views of the San Francisco skyline across the bay.

Your guide will share insights into Sausalito’s transformation from a shipbuilding hub during World War II into an upscale artistic enclave.

Return to San Francisco

Relax aboard the minibus as you return to San Francisco in the early evening, concluding this elegant half-day escape.

I’m the biggest fan of Fall activities, but haven’t had a chance to do anything beyond Apple Picking in NJ. I decided to take a last minute 2 day trip with a friend in Hudson Valley, but didn’t know where to start [...] Thankfully I was able to use New York Welcome to do the hard work for us [...]

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!
