AIRPORT AREA HOTEL RETURN:

AIRPORT AREA HOTELS: "Airport Area Hotels" in South San Francisco, Millbrae, Burlingame, and Brisbane are too far away from our base in San Francisco to make an immediate return possible for our 1/2 day tours.

For San Francisco City Tours and Muir Woods Tours, "Airport Area Hotels" have a return at 5:30 pm departing From Fisherman's Wharf (corner of Beach and Powell); these are noted by "5:30" in the "Special Airport Area Return" column on the list below.

For Wine Country and Monterey Tours, guests from "Airport Area Hotels" will be dropped off at the end of the tour.
