Tour could be improved.
The tour to Muir Woods is spectacular. You breathe fresh air and the redwoods are beautiful. Sausalito is a simple seaside town and, other than walking around a bit, there isn't much to do. The operator accompanies you and tells you something in the car. There is no audio guide in the chosen language. Price a bit high for just the transfers (and the tip as well).
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the fresh air and beautiful redwoods of Muir Woods.
We also appreciate your comments about Sausalito and the tour format. Our guides provide live commentary during the drive, sharing information about San Francisco, Muir Woods, Sausalito, and the surrounding area. We understand that some guests may prefer additional audio options, and your feedback is valuable as we continue improving the experience.
Regarding the price, we believe it reflects the transportation, guided service, convenience, and carefully planned itinerary included with the tour. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to see you again in the future for another memorable experience!

Redwood trees are beautiful!!
Ben was our tour guide and he was great. The tour started going through parts of San Francisco that you would normally not see and hear about. Our first stop was the Golden Gate Bridge for a few minutes. Then we took the drive up to Muir Woods. Muir Woods is beautiful and quiet. We went all the way to bridge 4 in about an hour but we are fast walkers and we still were able to stop and take in the beautiful trees and take pictures. We would recommend this tour.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Ben made your tour enjoyable and informative, and that you appreciated seeing some of the lesser-known parts of San Francisco along the way. It’s great to know you enjoyed the Golden Gate Bridge stop and had enough time to explore the peaceful beauty of Muir Woods, take photos, and make it all the way to Bridge 4. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again in the future for another

This is a good tour if...
This is a good tour if you only have a half-day for a taste of Muir Woods and Sausalito. Our driver/guide Randall was very knowledgeable and friendly and offered good dining recommendations in Sausalito. We chose to leave the tour there and return on our own by ferry to the City.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed your visit to Muir Woods and Sausalito and that Randall made the experience even better with his knowledge, friendly service, and helpful recommendations. Taking the ferry back from Sausalito is also a wonderful way to enjoy the Bay from a different perspective. We truly appreciate you choosing our tour and hope to welcome you again in the future!
