Two days and no car in San francisco
 

My husband and I are in San Francisco for a wedding in November. It's our third visit to this amazing city! We have done all of the touristy things and have walked everywhere! What tours would you recommend outside of the city either by public transit or buying a bus tour. We love wine but don't know which wine tour might be best. Love nature and hiking.

Stay IN SF and do some of these, donation only tours -

DebitNM's suggestion is great-- you can really get to know the City like a local and get a real appreciation of its wild, colorful history.

Having said that, a Wine Country tour can be a lot of fun, plus you get out of the City and see some gorgeous scenery. I have enjoyed the tour offered by this company:

Their standard itinerary hits the high points: Meet up with the shuttle bus at the Ferry Building, cross the Golden Gate Bridge headed to the Napa Valley, tour three or four wineries (tastings are generally included, but be sure to check to avoid disappointment), have a lunch on the way, then grab a ferry in Vallejo and cruise on the Bay back to the Ferry Building. It looks like they don't hit the Chandon winery any more, which is a shame-- but they do go to the Ménage à Trois winery; they make highly-drinkable, affordable wines that I'm always picking up at my local Costco.

The nice thing about this tour is that you'll be back in town in time to clean up and have dinner without rushing about like a headless chicken. When we went on this tour (back on our belated honeymoon in September 2009), we had time to run our wine purchases back to our room at our B&B in the Castro, grab a couple of rounds at the bar down the street (the historic Twin Peaks), then go freshen up and have a fantabulous dinner at L'Ardoise a short walk away. You gotta love San Francisco's user-friendly size...!! ;)

It would be very easy to get to Muir Woods. I suspect you might even be able to find a tour that combines a short stop at Muir Woods with a trip to a couple of Sonoma wineries.

Thanks so much for your quick replies! We have done several walking tours but will definitely explore the suggested winecountrytour suggestion. We love the city and how accessible the unique communities are. We're staying at the White Swan, returning customers. Great central location to revisit our favorite restaurants and neighbourhoods. Can't wait and am so glad the engaged couple invited us.
