Muir Woods and Sausalito Small Group Tour
This small-group tour takes you from downtown San Francisco to Muir Woods and Sausalito—two of Marin's top attractions—in a single afternoon. Ride across the Golden Gate Bridge in a luxury air-conditioned Mercedes sprinter van and take in epic views instead of focusing on driving. Stop at Vista Point for photos of the bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the San Francisco skyline. Walk quietly at your own pace among 1,000-year-old redwood trees at Muir Woods National Monument with the entrance fee included. Then explore Sausalito's waterfront boardwalk, houseboats, art galleries, and lunch spots before returning to Pier 33. Guided commentary throughout makes this organized option a great choice for independent travelers.
