Great family day trip - Kurt was an excellent guide for our day tour. He started by checking in the night before to confirm our pick up, which was a nice touch. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating throughout the day. I would highly recommend this tour with Kurt as your guide!

Very good Tour - Took this tour to see the Redwood forests and Sausalito and it was a very good experience. My first thought was this would include Muir Woods. but it does not. They go to Armstrong Woods instead which is a treat. The tour also goes to Bodega Bay and stops at Duncan Mills. CA. The entire trip is beautiful and scenic with a taste of Sonoma. We also saw the houses and church featured in a prominent movie. Overall great staff, very reasonable fee and very comfortable ride for the entire day.

Great experience - I thought the trip and the logistics were great and the price was right but having Brian W as our guide really made this tour. His personality/knowledge/expertise and the willingness to pivot to enhance the experience really turned this into a 5 star event

Small group Redwoods and Sausalito trip November 2025_Underwood Couple - Brian W was a great tour guide. We had an awesome trip with great pictures. I didn’t feel rushed. If you’re worried about the price don’t be. It was well worth the cost. The length of the visit was just right. It was close to an 8 hour round trip. In Sausalito we had the option to take the water taxi back to San Francisco but we didn’t. We got the best pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge on the way back into the city. Brian W also had alternate routes as some of our sites were closed off due to the high tide. This trip is best for all types except those who do not need assistance such as walkers and scooters. Those who use a cane or poles for balancing can enjoy this trip. There were 7 in our group. We all had a blast of a time.

Great Trip! - This was a great tour. Our guide, Trevor, was awesome. He made trip fun and informative. We had to change to this trip at last minute due to federal shutdown of Muir Woods. Did not regret the switch. Trip was great!!! Would do it again especially with Trevor as guide.

Fantastic day and great guide! - We had a fantastic day with Derek our tour guide. Picked up at our hotel door, and we visited so many places along the way. The Armstrong Giant Redwood Forrest is much more quiet than Muir Woods so we were pleased of Dereks knowledge of this. We had plenty of time at each stop and the lunch stop was amazing!! I won’t spoil it!! A good quality mini- van, and we could take snacks and drinks of our own no problem. Communication from our guide was excellent before and during the day - it made it really special. As we were a smaller group, we didn’t need to hang about waiting for stragglers at each stop. This was a full day trip: 0800-1600 and really educational and enjoyable. Would highly recommend this company. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
