By the beginning of the 20th century, most of them were destroyed by fires and humans. One valley named Redwood Canyon remained uncut, mainly due to its relative inaccessibility. You will see majestic trees, you may meet deer, turkeys, chipmunks, and squirrels. You will enjoy the forest air and the stunning beauty of the tallest living objects on Earth.

Wonderful trip!

Wonderful trip! Our driver, Peter, got us going a little earlier than planned to beat the crowds at Muir Woods, which was well worth getting up for. Would have liked a little more time in Sausalito, but if you are doing Alcatraz in the afternoon you really can’t stay longer than an hour. Alcatraz was very interesting. Overall a great tour. Highly recommend!

should & could have been better

The van was horrible, poor suspension feeling every bump in the road, ecessive, clunking noise coming from driveshaft upon excelleration, & difficulity hearing the driver in the back without a microphone, missing out on some of the facts. Brought to Sausalito way too early for a 1 hour lunch & most restaurants didn't open for 45 minutes, poor planning. l

5-hour tour [not 8], 10/10 places

All the places visited are magnificent. The issue is that we booked an 8-hour tour with a guide, and it was only 5. The time in the forest was fine, but the time in Sausalito was reduced for no reason. Alcatraz...the guide just gave me the entry ticket and left me on foot at Pier 39, telling me to walk to Pier 33 because if he went, the city would fine him. Upon arriving at the pier, I saw the Hop on Hop off parked there. TAKE THIS TOUR, IT IS CHEAPER AND TAKES YOU TO ALL THE AGREED-UPON PLACES

Alcatraz with Muir Woods

We had a great time on this tour the group was small so it was manageable our tour guide Mike was great. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable he made it worth it. My only complaint was that we were with friends and we didn’t realize since we were at different hotels we would not be on the same bus. We were able to meet up at the stops but other than that it was a great time

Great Value and Worth every Second

We did the Muir Woods and Sausalito tour yesterday, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The value was fantastic. We got to see parts of the area we probably never would have found on our own, enjoyed the incredible scenery, and learned a lot along the way. A big shoutout to Jerry, who was an awesome guide. He was knowledgeable, personable, and did a great job keeping the day fun and engaging without ever making it feel rushed. I also want to give credit to the company itself. From the moment we booked, they were incredibly responsive. Anytime I called, emailed, or had a question, someone got back to me quickly and helped with whatever I needed. That level of customer service seems harder and harder to find these days, and it definitely didn’t go unnoticed. If you’re visiting San Francisco and want a great way to experience Muir Woods and Sausalito, I’d absolutely recommend this tour. We had a great time and would do it again.
