Lovely short break to Muir Wood

5.00Or your guide, James, was great. Clear communication, very informative of local places of interest. A safe and patient driver too with great sense of his surroundings.

5.00My experience surpassed my expectations. Everything was run very timely and organized. I attended this solo, and someone from the tour group called me to make sure I’d be showing up, which I appreciated. The tour guide operator/driver, James, was absolutely wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable and gave us such great tidbits of information that was very engaging throughout the entire drive. We stopped shortly for a photo near the Golden Gate Bridge which was a great addition. Went to Muir Woods first for 1.5 hours (always wish I could spend more time there) and Sausalito for about 45 minutes. James did a great job telling us exactly when and where to meet. Overall, my experience went smoothly and I would recommend!
Wonderful time

1.00We had a lovely time on this tour of John Muir State Park in California. But this month we booked a tour in Curaçao on the Caribbean cruise. When I realized our ship was not going to be in that port on that day I canceled the day before early morning and now two weeks later still no refund. I thought this was a great company! And they refused to even respond to an email. I guess until I get my $140 I will be reviewing Tripadvisor in numerous places
Disappointed

3.00I love Muir Woods! We got there safely and had the promised 90 minutes. That's worth 3 stars. The excursion description says that hotel pickup is provided for certain hotels. One of those hotels was 2 blocks from ours so I chose that as a pickup point, but when I called to confirm I was told abruptly and several times that we had to go to Post (or Fisherman's Wharf). OK, then why offer something different online. But what really disappointed me was the lack of tour guide. I had read other reviews about how great and knowledgeable their person was. Our driver was also the tour guide which I'm guessing wasn't the original plan. His English was very hard to understand, and he seldom narrated, just basic things and advertisements for different places. He was unable to recognizably say some basic landmark names. I think he did a good job driving, just a lousy job as a narrator
Great experience

5.00Our driver/guide Joe provided an incredible trove of information and tips for visitors to San Francisco, en route to Muir Woods. His preview to our individual exploration to this landscape treasure enhanced our hour and half experience beyond measure. Bravo to Joe to adding so much fun to our visit!

5.00Tour ran over the allotted time by over an hour but partly that was because our driver stopped at the Golden Gate and let us take photos which was fantastic. Muir Woods was stunning and incredible. Highly recommend.

5.00Adolfo with Tower Tours was our guide, and he was amazing! Commentary was excellent, played music as he drove that set the San Fran mood, and took us to a fantastic viewpoint you won't want to miss!
Muir Woods is such a nice change from the typical tour area. Serene and fresh air. Take a jacket!
