Wonderful experience visiting Muir Woods and Sausalito in the morning with our tour guide Peter who was very informative friendly and outgoing it was a comfortable ride in the bus . Afternoon bay cruise was relaxing with views of the Golden Gate Bridge Alcatraz and local coastline landmarks Great to spend some time on pier 39 sipping coffee and listening to a local jazz musician with amazing talent. A unique opportunity for spending a day in San Francisco to view some local attractions.
The itinerary was convenient, allowing sufficient time to enjoy and take in the beauty of Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Fisherman’s Wharf. The Bay cruise was breathtaking too. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.
The operators of the tour were very responsive and very helpful. Muir Woods was magical . Would definitely recommend.
Great tour guide and experience! Appreciated the van size that took 14 of us on the tour since the road to Muir Woods is curvy. Our guide did a good job negotiating it without anyone getting carsick (a legitimate concern!). We were provided with the info to go on our bay cruise and dropped off right by the pier. The process was very smooth and easy. The bay cruise was narrated by recording but takes you under the Golden Gate Bridge and right by Alcatraz which was fun!
