Q: Do you pick us up at our hotel? A: We don't offer hotel pickup - Here'swhy: Generally speaking, hotel pickup can include taking you to 5-8
different hotels before taking to you the tour start location where we would transfer you from one shuttle to
your tour shuttle. San Francisco is not that large. From most hotels you can get door-to-door service via a taxi
to the Ferry Building for about $5. In most cases, it will only take 5 to 8 minutes. test
Q: Where do we meet the tour shuttle? Where does the tour start? A: At the front entrance of the Ferry Building in San Francisco (On Embarcardero and at the end of
Market Street). Map to the Ferry Building.
Q: Day 1 Tour Question - - Why 5-Hours? A: We want you to get out of the shuttle as much as possible and make various stops throughout the city to walk around and take pictures. We also want to give you time for lunch in Sausalito.
Q: How does your new MUIR WOODS/CITY TOUR package work? A: You can go on our 5 hour city tour that starts at 9am and then add Muir Woods to it. It makes sense on our tour
because we're in Sausalito, which is really close to Muir Woods. So instead of just heading back to SF, you would
transfer to our Muir Woods Shuttle from there. Our Tour Guides will explain everything to you so there is no
confusion. To book the Muir Woods/City Tour package - click here.

stopping at and getting out of the shuttle to provide you with a historical narrative of each. The bottom part
of the itinerary list are things you will see from the shuttle.

each attraction? A: As you can expect, some landmarks
are more time-consuming than others, such as lunch/dinner or
shopping in Sausalito.
With this in mind, there is no set time for each attraction.

to watch how the tour group progresses
at each landmark and adjust the tour accordingly. Keep in
mind,
we still have a lot of sightseeing to do in 5 hours,
so we do like to keep the tour moving.

ticketless reservation system. Your name is
