5.00This was an amazing visit,on the way stopped at golden gate bridge, then onto Muir Wood, which was a quiet park of amazing tall, wide trees and wonderful track around the park. The driver who was very informative of thing around the areas and about the park and about the area of Sausalito, it was a half a day trip which was plentiful for us.
Relaxing and informative.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Ideal weather, and our guide Jonathan provided plenty of insights and history about the city and Muir Woods. Would highly recommend to others! One note that others have said: It’s not an exaggeration that the last few miles of the ride into the park is rough if you’re prone to car sickness. LOTS of twists and turns. Everything else was A+.
Excellent tour

5.00Our driver, Jo, was very knowledgeable and shared her information with the group. Your Woods was beautiful and enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately, there was so much traffic from your Woods to Sausalito that we only got to spend a very short time in Sausalito. That was disappointing. Also, it would be nice to have a little stepstool into the van. I am only 5 foot two and practically fell when getting out each time. Overall, it was a great experience though.
