Greetings, Roberto here. Although I was born and raised in Italy, for the past ten years I've been calling San Francisco, the "The City by the Bay", my home. I love this town's vibrant life, eventful history, and culture of open-mindedness. I truly enjoy experiencing new adventures and meeting people from all over the world on my private tours of San Francisco and nearby environs. My background in the liberal arts and passion for foreign languages and cross-cultural communication, gave me the opportunity and ability to work and play in Mexico, Spain and now the USA. I am happy to share my local knowledge and world experiences with my guests. I love nature, history and I am passionate about wine. So visiting American National Parks and California Wine Country is always exciting for me. When it comes to San Francisco, I take great pleasure in showing my guests iconic landmarks and lesser-known parts of the City. My tours are private and therefore, they are all customizable to meet your personal interests and expectations. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Overview of your San Francisco tour

Muir Woods National Monument is one of my favorite places to visit in the San Francisco Bay Area, being a rare example of an old-growth redwood forest just a dozen miles away from the City. Combining this immersive private tour experience in the shade of the tallest trees in the world with the charming town of Sausalito, its Mediterranean ambiance and houseboats, makes a perfect half-day getaway. The start time is flexible depending on the parking reservation system's availability, so the longer advance notice the better. Morning is the best time to visit, followed by a nice lunch and walk-in Sausalito in the afternoon. Given my passion for nature, I have lots of commentary to provide before entering Muir Woods, but keep in mind National Park Service doesn't allow tour guides to give tours inside the park, where I will only be able to escort you. This preserves the quiet ambiance of the place.

A great tour! Roberto let me know that he had vehicle troubles so found us another guide, and it was a very great day. Government shutdown closed Muir Woods, but we saw so much of San Francisco, some were unique spots that locals know of! Had a great tour!

Roberto is a wonderful guide. We learned so many interesting things about Muir Woods and Sausalito. We also saw places we would not have discovered on our own. Thank you Roberto for a fantastic tour!

Another perfect day touring the San Francisco area with Roberto! Muir Woods were absolutely magnificent. There was no rush to enjoy this beautiful national park. Exploring Sausalito and having a delicious lunch right on the water front was perfect. The view of San Francisco was amazing. Thank you, Roberto!

Rob was just as excellent for the Muir Woods tour as he was for the San Francisco tour. He navigated the winding mountain roads to Muir Woods expertly, and explained the history and geography of the place to us with vivid details. He gave us sufficient time to stroll through Muir Woods, so that we could soak in the magical atmosphere. At Sausalito, he recommended a wonderful bookstore when my daughter requested to visit one. His knowledge of the places on the tour is amazing. Thank you for a great time!

Your San Francisco tour itinerary

-After meet up, this tour starts with a drive from San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, with an optional stop for photographs. -Next is a scenic half-hour drive along the windy Pacific Coast Highway 1, through the beautiful Marin Headlands, up and down to Muir Woods National Monument. (My recommendation is to spend at least one hour, up to ninety minutes inside the park. That gives you enough time to see the main redwood groves and take in the magical atmosphere of the forest. ) -Once back to civilized life we will visit Sausalito, a lovely town known for waterfront views, hilltop mansions, houseboats, boutiques and plenty of restaurants. -After about an hour in Sausalito, we will drive back to the agreed endpoint in San Francisco. This tour can be customized to your personal expectations, feel free to contact me.
