Why Tour with Us to Beautiful Marin County, Muir Woods and Sausalito?

Why tour the Marin County area with A Friend in Town and not just rent a car or take the big bus tour? Because driving yourself, you may waste time figuring out exactly where everything is and miscalculate how long it actually takes to get there; tour buses don't go to most of these destinations and rush you where they do go. With us you can relax, enjoy the scenery, focus on each special place.

There are so many reasons why we're your best choice for a day in Marin!
