A private Jeep tour lets you see more of San Francisco in less time, with flexibility to stop for photos, explore neighborhoods, and adjust your route. It’s the easiest way to turn a limited port day into a memorable, personalized experience.
Each private Jeep tour can accommodate up to 6 guests. For the most comfortable experience, we recommend 4 adults plus 2 children or teens in the rear-facing third row. If you have a larger group, we can arrange multiple Jeeps so everyone can enjoy the tour together.
Our private San Francisco city tours can start as early as 7:00 AM and as late as 6:00 PM, giving you plenty of flexibility around your cruise schedule.
For Muir Woods tours, start times typically range from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM to allow enough time for travel and your return to the ship.
We recommend choosing a start time about 45–60 minutes after your ship arrives to allow for disembarkation. Not sure what works best? We’re happy to help you pick the perfect time for your port day.
