History: Sausalito was once a settlement for the Native Americans for thousands of years. The Spaniards settled in San Francisco in 1776 and took advantage of the strategic location of Sausalito until 1821 when California became a Mexican Territory. In 1846, California gained its independence from the Mexicans. After the Gold Rush, Sausalito played a major role in commercial, leisure, and military Maritime commerce and transportation where many fishermen and wealthy yachting owners had already settled in the city. This golden era came to an end in 1937 after the inauguration of the new Golden Gate Bridge that bypasses Sausalito and its harbor putting ferry operators out of business. However, the maritime city of Sausalito will soon get a steady stream of tourists thanks to this new bridge. In 1942, Sausalito Yacht Club was founded to promote yachting business for both racing and cruising. After the 50s, a large houseboats community settled in Sausalito and became part of the landscape after all.

We now leave Sausalito heading back to San Francisco driving by the historic Baker beach and up to Marin Headlands. We will drive through the Golden Gate Bridge where our tour guide will offer you a spectacular photo stop overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and the SF Bay. The Golden Gate Bridge was constructed back during the Depression Era in 1937. The Bridge became the symbol of San Francisco and California and became the most photographed suspension bridge in the world. Admire the sweeping and spectacular views of San Francisco Bay Area from this awesome viewpoint. You picture the beautiful Islands like Alcatraz and San Francisco's rolling hills including the Presidio and the Pacific Heights. It's time to drop you back at your hotel. Thank you very much for your business and time.
