Hi, I'm Nik! I grew up in this area, and I never get tired of sharing its natural, scenic, and historic treasures with my guests. I can't wait to show you our most beautiful sights — from the big iconic views you've seen on postcards to the hidden gems only locals know about. Best of all, our day is completely customizable, based on your interests, how active you want to be, and what the weather is doing. We'll have a private driver to take us around, and the options are pretty much limitless. In Winter, we might see rushing waterfalls in deep, misty redwood forests. In Spring, undulating green hills just bursting with flowers and wildlife. Summer invites us to climb above the fog to watch it roll in from the Pacific. And Fall treats us to changing leaves and blazing sunsets off the coastal cliffs. We can stretch our legs with some hikes along the way, or just stay close to the car if you’d rather keep things relaxed. There's never a bad time to visit, and it's all within a few miles of this major metropolitan center. You just have to know where to go, and how to time it for the best results. That’s where all this exploring I’ve done out here comes in handy. Oh, also — I’m an experienced digital photographer, so if you’d like, I can show you how to take terrific pictures of it all using just the phone in your pocket. Ready to make great memories? Let’s go have some fun!

Let's cross the Golden Gate to discover the scenic seaside villages, redwood groves, and mountain towns of gorgeous Marin County.
Overview of your San Francisco tour
Welcome to San Francisco! Now let’s leave the city limits and explore the many scenic surprises that await us beyond the Golden Gate. We’ll start with photos at the world’s most iconic bridge before continuing into the historic seaside village of Sausalito, where shops and restaurants line the waterfront, and houses cling to steep hillsides. Next we’ll enter the lovely town of Mill Valley, its quaint neighborhoods tucked into forested canyons like something from a fairytale. From here, we can decide whether to hike to Muir Woods, or drive into Tiburon for breathtaking water vistas. We can also visit the rugged and spectacular Marin Headlands, or even head up Mt. Tam to watch the fog roll in from the ocean. Our day is 100% customizable, based on your interests and how active you want to be. With me as your private guide and driver, the options are limitless. Along the way, I can show you how to take great photos using just your phone if you’d like, and I'll get pics of you in our most scenic spots.
Your San Francisco tour itinerary
In my opinion, the most scenic parts of San Francisco are just outside the city. Here’s just a taste of what we’ll see: GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE - We start by crossing this iconic and magnificent landmark, stopping for photos on the way. SAUSALITO - This charming seaside village is a tourist favorite for its great restaurants, terrific views, and steep, dramatic hills. MILL VALLEY - My hometown! The fabled haunt of rock stars and billionaires, with neighborhoods tucked into wooded canyons like scenes from a fairytale. TIBURON - With unique and breathtaking views, what really sets Tiburon apart is the exquisite villas on nearby Belvedere Island. MARIN HEADLANDS - A rugged landscape with high cliffs, pounding surf, and epic vistas of the Golden Gate and San Francisco. Optional add-ons include driving through scenic West Marin, hiking into magical Muir Woods, hiking up Ring Mtn. for wonderful Bay views, or driving above the fog to watch it roll in off the sea. (Each add-on takes 2-3 hours at $150/hr.)
