There was not enough time in each spot to explore at all! At Muir Woods we only had about an hour, which meant we could only walk for half an hour before we needed to turn back. A 2 hour time slot would be preferred if people are planning to walk the whole trail. In Sausalito we only had 45 minutes. By the time we walked to the area of shops and restaurants from our drop off spot, we only had a half hour. Who can explore the town in half an hour?
Great experience for visitors wanting a safe comfortable ride to Muir Woods. Grady was very knowledgeable about the city and a safe driver. A must do if you are visiting San Francisco.

Trip was very well organized. Our first stop was Muir Woods for about 90 minutes. I walked for about an hour (wished I could have taken a longer hike). We then went for about an hour to Sausalito. A beautiful small town by the water. All and all it was a very nice and safe trip. I would definitely recommend it to take a stroll around but not if you want to go for longer hike.

It’s the perfect amount of time. I would recommend taking the ferry back instead of the bus so you have more time in Sausalito. Patrick is a sweetie and made the trip fun.

A fabulous way to spend an afternoon! Our driver and guide, Lester, provided tons of information and humor on the drive from Fisherman's Wharf, over the Golden Gate Bridge, thru the Robin Williams Tunnel, up Mount Tamalpais and into the Muir Woods. The main trails were easy and filled with gorgeous redwoods, ferns, and moss. We then went to Sausalito for a bit of shopping and ice cream. Yum! I wish we'd been able to spend a bit more time there, but it wasn't a huge deal.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Lester and had a great time exploring Muir Woods and Sausalito. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon! Ioan-Razvan@BigBusTours

James was a fantastic (and safe!) driver/guide. Muir Woods was such an experience - words are not adequate. The stop in Sausalito was brief but lovely.
