Short Trips in greater San Francisco

We are planning a visit to Marin County late March-early April to visit our son and his family. We would like to do a bit of touring 3/4 days while they are at work and school. We have done many trips---wine country, redwoods, Monterey, Yosemite, and are hoping to find a train or bus tour since now that we are 80, driving ourselves is not a priority. We are reasonably mobile, and still looking for a small sedate adenture!

Enter search the forums for stududley, or search San Francisco and look for Stu's posts. He's the resident SFO expert and his recent guides are reliable and extensivel.

Muir Woods does bus tours. I like Point Reyes, but don't know if any buses go there.

Since you've already done Muir Woods, Napa/Sonoma etc etc - my suggestion is to enlist your kids help.

In my area several organizations do day tours for seniors (and others). They cover everything from lunch and shopping in SF, to Indian casinos, to lectures, to art shows, to gold rush country, to - well just all sorts of things.

But I'm in the Sacramento area and don't know the similar options in Marin County.

Your son/d-i-law may be able to check the local library/senior centers/tour companies.

Since you seemed to have covered the surrounding areas, have you explored the city itself? or Sausalito, Berkeley, Angel Island, etc.
