Well organized and excellent experience. The bus was new and clean with access to outlets. The driver was funny and informative. We had enough time in the Muir Woods and Sausalito. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in visiting both locations while visiting San Francisco. Really appreciated having this tour as an option, given that buses to Muir Woods were not available early in the year.

Take time out from San Francisco on a half-day trip to Muir Woods National Park and Sausalito. This enthralling half-day trip takes you across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Area's most popular National Park Monument to experience the magnificent views of the Giant redwoods during a 90' stop (entrance fee included). Visit the beautiful coastal town of Sausalito, a gorgeous Mediterranean-style village with quaint shops and waterfront restaurants. If you choose the option, take the ferry back to San Francisco!

Overall, the tour was good; however, there is room for improvement. 1. The driver was knowledgeable, but his accent was sometimes difficult to understand. 2. If possible, the length of stay at Muir National Park could be increased.

The driver Dan was excellent… He was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of San Francisco, Muir Woods and Sausalito. He was entertaining, personable and made everyone feel at ease!!! The bus was comfortable and the tour schedule was just right. Thank you very much for a very enjoyable time.

good price-quality ratio. Nice and competent driver. One of the highlights of my trip to San Francisco last summer
Daftpilot
Pick up as advertised, and an informative trip through the city to and from the second pick up point. A safe and picturesque drive to Muir Woods, which we found beautiful and relaxing - an early tour so the woods were not crowded. More sightseeing on the way to Sausalito, and enough time there for coffee and cake! The bus was modern and clean, and the PA clear.
