These trees were here long before San Francisco was built. 🌲

POV: one fact about redwoods changes the way you view the forest forever 🌲

Spend up to 90 minutes here on our Famous Tour with Muir Woods, with the drive and the reservation handled.

Most of the redwoods here are 600 to 800 years old, and the oldest has stood for at least 1,200. And there's a saying at Muir Woods that a redwood only spends half its life standing. The other half, it spends on the ground.

A fallen redwood becomes a nursery for seedlings, slowly turns back into soil, and feeds the giants still standing around it.

Muir Woods has never been logged, so that cycle has kept going on its own.

Send this to your favorite hiking buddy. 🌲

This is the w**e country day we'd plan for our best friend, after 20+ years of leading tours. 🍷

SAVE this for your San Francisco trip.

Our Ultimate W**e Country Tour pairs one Sonoma w**ery with one Napa w**ery and gives you two hours of free time on historic Sonoma Plaza in between.

Here's who made this group's day 👇

🍷**ery in Sonoma, for estate-grown w**e and underground w**e caves
🍽️ on Sonoma Plaza, for seasonal California plates sourced from local farms
🥂**ery in Napa's Carneros region, for vineyard views from the porch

Your lineup may look a little different, since we hand-pick two w**eries from our favorite partners each day, and lunch is wherever you'd like on the plaza. Thank you to all three for taking such good care of our guests. 🥂

Napa or Sonoma? On this one, you don't have to choose.

Save this for the SF trip where w**e country is calling. 🍇

🌉 Golden Gate Bridge photo stop, then your first tasting in Napa
🍽️ Two hours to yourself in Sonoma Plaza
🍷 A second tasting over in Sonoma

Tasting fees and all the driving are handled, so you just show up and enjoy the day. You'll see both valleys and still be back in the city by evening.

A short drive past the Golden Gate Bridge, and the city disappears into a thousand-year-old redwood forest. 🌲

Comment REDWOODS and we'll send you the link to book our Famous Tour with Muir Woods.

On the tour you cross the Golden Gate Bridge and head into the redwoods for about 90 minutes among trees that were standing long before the city was. Easy trails, quiet groves, and a local guide sharing the history the whole way.

You can be back in the city by dinner, and still be thinking about these trees a week later.

One of our favorite places to take in the Bay Area is Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands. This is usually a specail "weather permiting" stop.

You cross the Golden Gate Bridge, wind up the hill, and suddenly get this incredible view of the bridge, San Francisco, and the ocean all at once. Even after years of visiting, we still stop and take it in.

Have you been to Hawk Hill, or is there another Marin viewpoint you love?

Ever wish a local friend could show you around a new city?

Save this for your SF trip. 📍

That's what a day with us feels like. Dylan grew up in San Francisco and started Dylan's Tours over 20 years ago with 25 cents and a flier from Kinko's.

All these years later it's still the same idea, the best viewpoints, the local stories, and SF the way it was meant to be seen.

You've seen Lombard Street, but have you ridden down it?

Comment LOMBARD and we'll send you the link to book the Lombard Leap.

Eight hairpin turns packed into one block on Russian Hill. On the Leap you take all eight from the open-air vehicle, with a local guide at the wheel and the stories to go with it. Colorful gardens, the red brick road, the whole crooked stretch.

Way more fun than the photo everyone takes from the bottom. 😏

Sharon and Mark chose to spend their 40th wedding anniversary with us, and we felt lucky to be part of it. 🤍

Send this to the person you'd bring to w**e country.

Our guide Barry took them through Napa and Sonoma for the day, sharing history and local insight. Beautiful countryside, delightful w**es, and nobody had to think about the drive home.

Forty years together, and they trusted us with the day. Thank you, Sharon and Mark, and thank you Barry for taking such good care of them.
Happy 40th, you two. 🥂
