5.00Dress in layers. Very nice trip and worth the money for the Muir woods adventure. Having the option of coming back on the bus or ferry was a bonus!

5.00Great tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito! We chose to take the boat back and it was well worth it to not rush in Sausalito
Great day in the woods

4.00I went with my sister, the tour we really liked, we just found out that the Muir Woods is closed, however we were taken to Armstrong Redwoods, our guide Dan was friendly, gave us quite useful and interesting information of each place, however, we consider that we missed a little more time in each place to enjoy it more but it is a tour we recommend
Recommend! Muir Woods was open!

5.00Although we were anticipating going to the Armstrong Reserve, Muir Woods was open for the first time in 20 days. We definitely lucked out. We had a wonderful trip. Don was our tour guide, and he grew up in the area and was very knowledgeable about it. He had many stories to share, so there was never a dull moment. Muir Woods was so still and peaceful. We were fortunate in that there weren’t many people there. Definitely bring a light jacket because it is very cool in the trees. Sausalito was a pretty town with several restaurants to choose from, but with only an hour, we didn’t have time to really sit down and enjoy them. I wish this trip incorporated Sausalito for two hours because I would like to have spent more time there. Overall, a wonderful day and we met so many other nice travelers.

5.00A bit of a drive, and Sausalito was rushed. Otherwise, it was great. Muir Woods was closed, so we visited Armstrong State Park instead. Which was more than double the time in the bus. Our Irish driver was delightful, professional, and expert. Loved his shared knowledge.

3.00They changed the destination very last minute to a different state park and added an hour and a half to the drive time. It was a mild day out but the bus was very hot and the driver would only turn the fan on not the ac, the tour bus driver was also just telling mainly personal story’s. It wasnt a horrible experience I just definitely wouldn’t do it again.

3.00The overall tour itself was fine. The only issue was that the van (small bus) we spent a few hours in driving up and back did not seem to have working AC, making that part of the experience rather miserable for everyone. Under that specific circumstance I would not recommend it to anyone obviously.

5.00Our tour did not go to Muir Woods due to the government shut down, instead we went to Armstrong State Park, which was lovely. Took the ferry back from Sausalito and I recommend it.
