3.00While the tour was timely, the driver/“tour guide” was just providing nonstop stream of consciousness commentary about his interests and also narrating the drive constantly, like “slow down”, “hold tight” etc. which just wasn’t very pleasant.
Great trip

5.00Great trip. The driver and guide Lester was witty and knowledgeable. The woods were beautiful and had time for a lovely stroll through. sausilito is really pretty and a nice change of pace from SF
Worth the Experience but Not the Tour

3.00Booked the Muir Woods + Sausalito Ferry option, but the ferry wasn’t included despite the higher price. The tour felt rushed — barely enough time for Muir Woods or Sausalito. Staff and guide were nice, but I’d recommend renting a car or booking a longer tour.
Not worth the $

2.00Tour started late, shop seemed disorganized. The tour guide was borderline obnoxious. We felt he wasted time. His commentary about turkeys was bizarre and annoying to us and I'm sure most everyone else. Overall, over priced tour for what you get. Didn't even stop at the golden gate bride, just drove over it and told to take photos. We should have just bought a ferry pass and taken an uber to the woods. Would have been a lot cheaper and more enjoyable.

4.00It was a good day. Easy to find meeting place, nice driver with clear instructions. If you get off in Sausalito, you can take the Ferry back. Fair warning.....2 different lines with different tickets and different departure times on weekdays versus weekends.
Exceptional Customer Service

5.00I was not able to join this tour due to factors outside my control and Djono was more than happy to refund my ticket. I can't speak more highly of the customer service she provided! I can't wait to get back to CA and take this tour :)
An unmissable excursion

5.00It is a place of great charm. It is a forest of majestic trees that infuses peace and serenity. It is not for nothing that President Truman wanted the delegates present in 1945 in San Francisco to create the UN, to visit this place precisely to encourage their commitment to building a world of peace after the tragedy of the war.
Muir Woods and Sausalito

4.00We had lots of traffic so the self guided tour of Muir Woods was shortened to 60 minutes and time in Sausalito was 45 minutes. You do not have to take the ferry home. You can take the bus each way and save some money.
