Program details

Discover why beautiful Muir Woods and the Californian wine country are two of San Francisco's most popular day-trip destinations on this great value tour combo! Start the day with a refreshing stroll through Muir Woods, where you'll explore a spectacular redwood sequoia forest, then visit wine country for some superb wine tasting at Napa and Sonoma's boutique wineries in the afternoon with the option to go to Alcatraz Island the next day.

First of all, we'll drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, heading for the Marin Headlands and Muir Woods, a beautiful valley filled with California Redwood Sequoia trees. You’ll spend around an hour at Muir Woods, before heading north again.

Learn all about the history of the Wine Country on the way to the historic Sonoma Valley and Carneros Regions, spending 30 minutes to 1 hour at each winery, with free Wine Tasting.

Then on the second day take the ferry ride across the bay heading for one of the most famous landmarks in the world, Alcatraz Island. This tour includes an award-winning 45 minute audio presentation which features actual recordings of employees and inmates who lived and worked on the Island. You'll also have plenty of time to explore on your own.

During peak season Alcatraz receives high visitor volume, on rare occasions the Alcatraz tour may not be available for the day following your main excursion and hence will be confirmed on the next available date.
