Small group tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito - Johanna was a great guide, you see several city landmarks, before enjoying a lovely walk around Muir Woods. We were dropped it Sausalito to catch the ferry back after some shopping.

Awesome - Enjoyed my trip to Muir Woods and Sausalito! Jonathan was a great tour guide, shared a lot of great facts and recommendations for the city. The tour was awesome to meet other solo travelers and the small group was a perfect vibe.

Muir Woods and Sausalito - Beautiful scenery. Mitch was an excellent tour guide. Do the early morning tour, areas much less crowded and can truly enjoy the beauty of the trees and surrounding areas. Highly recommended!

Worth it!! - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Ideal weather, and our guide Jonathan provided plenty of insights and history about the city and Muir Woods. Would highly recommend to others! One note that others have said: It’s not an exaggeration that the last few miles of the ride into the park is rough if you’re prone to car sickness. LOTS of twists and turns. Everything else was A+.

Inspiring - Our driver, Jo, was very knowledgeable and shared her information with the group. Your Woods was beautiful and enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately, there was so much traffic from your Woods to Sausalito that we only got to spend a very short time in Sausalito. That was disappointing. Also, it would be nice to have a little stepstool into the van. I am only 5 foot two and practically fell when getting out each time. Overall, it was a great experience though.

The PERFECT day - Went with my sister and honestly just paying for them to drive us was worth it! We got to experience Muir Woods, Sausalito, AND a different bridge viewpoint because the one that the company usually stops at was closed.
