Not a guided tour: there were little to no stories or fun facts during the drive, let alone when walking around. Muir Woods and Sausalito are great on their own, but the tour description is misleading, as the "guide" was just a driver dropping us from place with minimal guidance. For travelers who like to explore on their own and do their own research this may be fine, but for people expecting to learn a lot, it is a disappointment.

A very ok tour, great for transportation but our guide didn't really share any local/historical stories about the city. It felt like going on a drive where the driver was pointing out all the neighbourhoods. Not bad but would have appreciated some more context about the places we visited.

Wonder experience. Muir Woods is so vast in size of the red woods and so serene. Definitely tried it once. You will not be disappointed.

I would like to share my disappointment with your tours. As a group of four we took part in the Muir Woods guided tour on April 5th at 7:15am. It is written a guided tour, but in the end everything was done in a self-guided setting. You have appointed a guide who was giving us directions in 3 minutes on the parking lot in both locations. This is by no definition a guided tour. We had to explore in every spot by ourselves. There was no real added value of a guide or any culturally enriching information provided. I am happy that the person drove us there but the information on the various booking platforms (Viator and GetYourGuide) was misleading and can even be considered a scam due to high price and low/no service. I wrote an email immediately after the tour, requesting an explanation, but I never received an answer.

Aiden was a fantastic guide, with deep knowledge in history and uplifting positive energy. Muir Woods is a must stop in SF, highly recommended!!

We had a wonderful time visiting the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, and Sausalito. We enjoyed learning about interesting facts about these places especially about the Muir Woods. Our tour guide and bus driver was excellent.

We enjoyed the natural wonders in the Muir Woods. So many unique trees and plants. The calm of the stream made it a great, easy hike on the main area between bridges 1-3. Tour guide was sweet & gave great advise.

Very recommendable tour!!! Judd took us to take a view of the Golden Gate bridge that was stunning, before going to Muir Woods!!! He gave us many insights into the places we visited. Muir Woods is such a peaceful place where time stops admist redwoods and lush greens. I was not particularly impressed by Sausalito but it was nice to get to see the Bay from the other side! I recommend this tour. You also get to experience of crossing onto the Golden Gate on a drive.
