This review is about our tour of Muir Woods, Sausolito and Alcatraz via Gray LineTours. We had a first class tour guide, her name is Judith. She was very thorough, knowledgeable, and made the experience very memorable. She was an encyclopedic scholar. We loved her. I could go on and on. We just wanted to say thank you. Judith. The Muir Woods tour is a must see. A real gem. Just be sure to combine it with the Alcatraz and Sausalito package. Grey Line delivers and so does Judith. Thanks Tripsters Chef Edwin Padilla Good Food…Good Vibes
