HELLO FRIENDS and WELCOME to my home town! :) As a San Francisco Bay Area native, I'm passionate about sharing the very best of my home with guests. We are blessed to have some of the most beautiful scenery and dynamic culture in the world. I've been a Certified Guide and Tour Director for +12 YEARS. I can honestly say my education, enthusiasm and unique vehicle set me apart from other guides in the area. My guests especially enjoy visiting the areas most memorable locations from the back seat of a beautiful, fully loaded TESLA MODEL X SUV. The Teslas are such a fun and stylish cars to spend the day in. I'm also happy to demo many of the exciting (and constantly evolving) new tech features that make these vehicles so unique! Trained as a teacher, I believe we enjoy learning most through good stories! Eventually I left the classroom and now combine my love of teaching and travel to serve visitors coming to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Muir Woods and Wine Country. When I'm not home, I also lead guests in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks and Europe for a 5-star global tour operator (so I know good service! ;) In my free time, I enjoy cooking classes, taking day-trips, and hiking with my 2 rescue dogs. A true San Franciscan at heart, the two things that get me out of bed in the morning are fresh-roasted coffee and warm sourdough bread. If you want to know where to eat well in the area, I'm happy to share recommendations with all my guests, as well as share tips and tricks for your independent exploration time!

On this privately escorted tour, you'll get a taste of the amazing variety the San Francisco Bay has to offer-- ALL in ONE day! This tour is a great choice for curious guests of all ages, nature lovers and especially families with children. People move to the Bay Area from around the world to live in a world class metropolitan environment with excellent access to the great outdoors-- practically right in our backyards. On this tour we get to have a true Bay Area local experience combining two of my personal favorites, the eclectic urban culture of San Francisco, plus the magical Redwood trees. Along the way we'll share stories of SF past and present, and fill our lungs with the fresh mists of Pacific Ocean and ancient forests. You'll be traveling in style in a new fully-loaded all-electric Tesla Model X SUV. This stunning luxury vehicle offers state of the art features, best in class safety ratings and statement-making falcon doors.
I'll pick you up at your San Francisco residence, and show you my favorite urban landmarks during a custom private City Tour. From there we'll cross the Golden Gate Bridge, stopping for photos by this iconic structure and learning about its rich history and surprising legends. We'll pause for lunch and/or window shopping with views of the SF skyline. I'm happy to recommend my favorite restaurants, cafe's and spots for coffee and iced cream treats. I'll drive the mountain roads, sharing fascinating background about the Muir Woods National Monument, its giant trees, and the local ecosystem along the way. You will of course then enjoy a leisurely stroll among the Redwoods. Please note the order of the tour components may change based on you start time and availability of NPS timed reservations at time of booking. I'll make every effort to ensure your smooth and pleasant journey regardless of schedule details. :)
