5.00Pick up was great. Nice friendly driver. Comfortable bus. Stop off for photos over GoldenGate Bridge. Drive to Muir woods very enjoyable. Muir woods are AMAZING!! The smell of the woods is great, the peace and calm. Stunning place everyone should visit. 90 minutes a good time to spend there. Nice gift shop and little cafe. We opted for the Sausalito ferry back which was great as we passed Alcatraz and went back to Fisherman’s Wharf. Great trip! Our third time doing it and would happily do it again!!

5.00Our driver was also our guide, though we really did not do any touring. He gave us a lot of information along our drive, but otherwise left us on our own. I would advise taking the option to take the ferry back to San Francisco so you're not bound by the bus schedule and can come back at your leisure.
This was a great trip....
