5.00De Lillo was an awesome guide! Muir Woods was amazing. Please retire that van. It’s falling apart. The door never closed.
Disappointing

1.00Not recommended. We took it because there was an audio guide in Spanish and it never worked. The driver explained everything in English and I didn't understand anything. Then we were taken to Sausalito where the beautiful thing is the houseboats but they leave you in the port and you do not have time to see them. We let the bus go and we did it for free.
The experience was good!...

5.00The experience was good! Our guide was on time, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would have liked a little more time at Muir Woods, but otherwise, this was a great way to see the redwoods and Sausalito.
I was disappointed

2.00Hire a tour with audio guide in Spanish for what you pay a premium price.When the time came the tour was entirely in English, and they answered that they never had that Service.
Very nice overview tour...

5.00Very nice overview tour of the San Francisco route to Muir Woods. A nice way to spend an afternoon. We chose to take the Ferry back to San Francisco and you pay onboard for the blue & gold “not” at the kiosk.
Great Guide

5.00Visiting Muir Woods and Sausalito for half a day was nice! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny as well. The buses were roomie and the guide also made a pit stop after the Golden Gate Bridge to allow us to get some nice photos of the splendid views!
A Must!

5.00It was a great experience! Muir Woods was incredible! Our tour guide was an Irish guy that had quite the gift of gab and knowledge of the area! Truly a great experience while you’re in San Francisco. Sausalito is so pretty!
Muir Woods tour in November

4.00A Nice tour. Beautiful walk through the woods especially since we were the only peoplein the park at 0900. I wished that Viator used only one avenue for communication. I found it a little confusing when they used email,text or whatsapp to send me messages. Our stop in Salsileto was to early, most places weren't serving lunch yet. A side trip to Muir beach might be a nice add on in the future.
