First, by crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, you will visit Muir Woods, which is the world's most-visited old-growth redwood forest park, and walking onto trails among these giants is truly an awesome experience. The park receives about a million visitors per year. Then, you will take a stroll through charming downtown Sausalito, visiting this spectacular city by the bay that offers beautiful scenery and breathtaking ocean views with boutique shops, art galleries and restaurants. In San Francisco, you will enjoy the must-see famous places, from Fisherman's Wharf to Golden Gate Park. I can guide you through an exclusive private tour of Nob Hill, Marina District, Union Square, Pacific Heights, Haight/Ashbury, Chinatown, North Beach, Lombard Street and much more. . . I'll show you places that reveal the true character of San Francisco, as it is known and loved by locals.
First time using Tours By Locals. It will not be the last time. Our tour guide Caesar was prompt, informative, courteous and we enjoyed the day we spent with him. Well worth the cost to see the sites without having to deal with the driving aspect.
Caesar was an excellent tour guide! He has an in depth knowledge of the city and took us to so many amazing places! Our entire family loved the tour and our day with Caesar! We plan on booking with him anytime we are in San Francisco!
The best way to describe this tour is in the words of my 2 young grandsons who said, "Caesar really wanted to make certain that we saw everything in San Francisco." Plus, we got a wonderful walk in Muir Woods, and an excellent lunch in Sausalito. I could not have asked for a better day and would unequivocally recommend Caesar for anyone wanting to really get to know San Francisco and surrounds.
Caesar was an amazing tour guide! We had a wonderful time. He showed us secret spots that had amazing views. He asked for feedback on what we wanted to see and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire trip. He had a vast knowledge of the area and history and made the entire experience wonderful. Would definitely book with him again and encourage anyone going to San Francisco to book a tour with Caesar, you will not be disappointed!
We loved our trip and tour to Muir Woods and seeing some new sights in San Francisco. Caesar was a very knowledgeable guide and set us up for a lifetime memory of the Redwoods. We also got a chance to visit Sausalito and have lunch which became a highlight on the trip. We will definitely do more tours with Caesar once we return back to the city!
Caesar was very professional, knowledgeable and wonderful. He was very patient with our group and was flexible and really spent time on the things we wanted to see.
