5.00Michael picked us up from our hotel in Fisherman’s wharf. Muir Woods was an amazingly must see!!! Michael was very helpful in telling us how to get to Alcatraz on time for our next booked event as the tour took a bit longer than we anticipated.
Relaxing half day trip

5.00Great way to see Muir woods and Sausalito without a rental car. They stopped at the Golden gate bridge for a photo op and ride was pleasant with fun facts about the area. The hike at Muir woods was very easy and you could go as far as you were comfortable with, almost all of it paved or boardwalk
Would recommend!

5.00Our driver/guide was very nice. We felt very safe going up and down the road to Muir Woods. He drove carefully and safely and provided us with a lot of interesting information along the way in relation to all of the things we were driving past. The charter bus was very clean and comfortable. Only issue was that the seat belts were quite stiff and difficult to put on and take off. Otherwise, it was a great experience! We also enjoyed our time in Sausalito and the ferry ride back to Pier 39.
Grayline's Muir Woods tour was great

5.00The bus ride to Muir Woods was enjoyable. A great way to see parts of the city you wouldn't otherwise. Our driver/guide was exceptional both funny and knowledgeable. The sequoias at Muir Woods are breathtaking, everyone should experience them at least once in their life. Sausalito is a charming costal town. If you can take the ferry back to SF the route is very nice and you'll get to see the bridge for a different angle as well as peek at Alcatraz.
Fun!

5.00Great excursion that allows for seeing and exploring some key San Francisco area attractions at a comfortable pace. Don was an entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend booking the ferry returned from Sausalito for a different view of the harbor, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the piers at Fisherman’s Wharf.
