This was honestly not great. Our driver, Brenden, was having issues with his microphone giving feedback and as a result decided to not give commentary for most of the trip. He turned it off and said he might tell us about things later, which never happened. We also had to make a side trip to Sasalito before the tour officially began to pickup a group. So we went to Sasalito to do pickup, Muir Woods, then back to Sasalito for a rushed 45 min to look around before going back to San Francisco. I had to request we be dropped at the promised spot so that we would not have to figure out how our to get back to our hotel. The sights were great but this was disappointing and basically we just paid for transportation vs getting an actual tour.
Awesome trip! Knowledgeable
This was an amazing visit,on the way stopped at golden gate bridge, then onto Muir Wood, which was a quiet park of amazing tall, wide trees and wonderful track around the park. The driver who was very informative of thing around the areas and about the park and about the area of Sausalito, it was a half a day trip which was plentiful for us.
Beautiful serenity away from the city. Very disability accessible. Wonderfully marked trail. Our guide Oliver was a local and knowledgeable and fun. Sacalito was the icing on the cake.
Johanna was a great guide, you see several city landmarks, before enjoying a lovely walk around Muir Woods. We were dropped it Sausalito to catch the ferry back after some shopping.
Enjoyed my trip to Muir Woods and Sausalito! Jonathan was a great tour guide, shared a lot of great facts and recommendations for the city. The tour was awesome to meet other solo travelers and the small group was a perfect vibe.
Beautiful scenery. Mitch was an excellent tour guide. Do the early morning tour, areas much less crowded and can truly enjoy the beauty of the trees and surrounding areas. Highly recommended!
Knowledgeable guide Excellent Value Beautiful location Highly reccomended Sharon was an amazing guide
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Ideal weather, and our guide Jonathan provided plenty of insights and history about the city and Muir Woods. Would highly recommend to others! One note that others have said: It’s not an exaggeration that the last few miles of the ride into the park is rough if you’re prone to car sickness. LOTS of twists and turns. Everything else was A+.
Our your guide was fantastic! And Johnathon very knowledgeable of the city history as well as Muir Woods.he was professional and personable
