Description

On the way out to Muir Woods, you will cross the iconic Golden Gate Bridge with breathtaking views of the San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz Island. Continue along the Pacific Coast Highway, providing stunning views of the coastal mountains before heading further to Muir Woods National Monument. With maps in hand, take a walk through the spectacular woods and take in all of its natural beauty. After exploring Muir Woods for about 1.5 hours at your leisure, we will head to charming Sausalito, a small Mediterranean-style seaside town in Marin County, home to some of the country's wealthiest citizens. If you wish to spend time in Sausalito, you can choose to hop off the tour and enjoy a ferry ride back to San Francisco with beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline and Alcatraz Island (ferry tickets not included), or you can stay on board the tour and return back to San Francisco.

Nice trip

You will be riding in a medium size bus. There were about 30 in our group. I liked that they had ponchos for us because it was raining. Muir Woods was beautiful. Sausalito was nice but nothing spectacular. We had an hour there to browse shops. You could take the ferry back if you wanted to stay longer.

Great walk in the woods

It's a nice stop in Muir Woods. I could live without Sausalito. They stop there just so you'll spend some money but it's not long enough for a meal.

Disappointed

Itinerary I booked showed an hour at Sausalito and a photo stop st Vista Point. We only had 45 minutes at Sausalito and no stop at Vista Point. I would have preferred a little less time at Muir Woods. I was a little disappointed with this tour.

Left behind by tour bus with no attempt to contact me

The tour operator left me behind in Sausalito with no attempt to contact me. I arrived at the meetup spot at what I believed was the correct time, and was told by another tour bus operator waiting there that the bus had just left. As a solo traveler, this could have been disastrous. Luckily I was able to hitch a ride back, but was definitely surprised since I was not far from the bus the whole time, and did not see them leave. I called the tour bus company and was gaslit about the bus having left much earlier, which was not possible as I was checking on the bus and within eyesight when they claimed it had left. Overall the locations were great but my experience with the tour company left a terrible taste in my mouth.

Enjoyable trip.

Enjoyable trip. The guide was great. Informative and funny. Muir woods and the small hikes were excellent. The bus was clean. I would have liked less time in Sausalito. But all the trips seem to have a long stop there. It is a nice little town, nonetheless. Maybe I could have taken the ferry then left earlier.

Superb tour in the Muir Forest

Had a great time. The host, James was very charismatic and gave a very good perspective of the areas history. All while driving a bus down hairpin turns. The Muir Forest was absolutely stunning and Sausalito is a very charming and attractive town. Highly recommend this tour if you are staying in San Francisco

Patrick was awesome!

Patrick was awesome! Great humour and a great guide. A good tour if you don't have lots of time and want a taster.

Awe Inspiring

Muir Woods is an awe inspiring place to visit. So much history. It’s my second trip here and I could go a thousand more times. Take the tour with a guide as they possess a wealth of information. Diane

Great tour, confusing booking

The tour itself was good, our driver (James) provided great commentary. However, Skyline doesn’t really seem to exist anymore, it’s actually Big Bus. I don’t know why they haven’t dropped the redundant Skyline name.
