Great experience with guide Doug. He provided knowledge of the Muir Woods park including information about the various trees then took us through Sausalito for another quick informative tour. He was very helpful with any questions and made the ride enjoyable.

The staff was very friendly. The bartender made a great bloody Mary to set the mid morning cruise off to great start. The boat was very clean and the trip was great. My wife and kids loved it. The boat leaves right on time so give yourself plenty of time to park and get to the pier.

Jules was our guide: he was informative, friendly and patient. The tour itself was a completely unforgettable experience. Muir Woods is breathtakingly beautiful and serene. It really is a must see - outstanding! The drive through Sausalito totally inspired us to revisit in our own time a day or so later. We opted for Alcatraz in the tour package, which is also a must see for very different reasons. The guided audio tour really exceeded my expectations - so thoughtfully put together. All in all a great, diverse package tour. Highly recommended.

Anthony was an excellent tour guide. He gave us anecdotes and fun facts about everything we drove by. Also encouraged a social and bonding vibe with our group without making things awkward. He was super knowledgeable about San Francisco, Sausalito, and Sonoma valley. The wineries were such unique choices with great variety and we enjoyed all three so much. Our tour was framed as a kind of past, present, and future of vineyards which was super cool. Tried some of the best wines I ever had, and learned a lot about the process of winemaking and lots about grapes! Anthony also made sure we ate at great restaurants and had really cool experiences when we stopped in downtown Sonoma, and always told us where bathrooms were so we didn’t waste our time searching around. The option to end in Sausalito was sooo fun, a nice dinner and ferry ride to end the day. This tour was full of laughs and great wine! 10/10 recommend.

This was a wonderful trip from San Francisco. It was great that the pick up was right outside our hotel. The tour guide (Randall) and bus driver (Coney) were both fantastic. The tour guide was training the bus driver so we had two great men on our trip. The stop at the Safeway for potty and picking up food was wonderful. You can grab a coffee at the Starbucks inside and then grab some snacks and lunch for later in the day. I highly recommend getting lunch here because if you wait to grab lunch in Yosemite, you won't have very much time to look around the park. The lodge was very busy and I was glad we ate our lunch on the bus while driving. We stopped at a few places to get beautiful views of Half Dome and El Capitan. The views of the park are stunning. The falls weren't really "falling" as it was August and mostly dry. Spring and early summer you can see them better according to our guide. The Tuolumne Sequoia Forest was beautiful but beware - it is about a mile down to see the trees. The walk down wasn't bad, but coming back is not for the faint at heart. It will take twice as long (longer if you have asthma or bad knees). I am glad I did it, but I heard the Muir Woods hike was much easier. I am so glad we did this tour. It was a very long day on a bus, but you get to sit back and view the beautiful scenery as you drive by. The guide tells you about the areas as you travel by and gives you a good history of the area.

Our guide/driver gave us a very informative and humorous tour of San Francisco on our way to Muir Woods. Muir Woods was absolutely amazing to see and would recommend to anyone. Sausalito was a nice way to end the trip. We took ferry back to SF to get some extra time in Sausalito - also beautiful views of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and San Francisco skyline from the ferry.

Was absolutely everything i dreamed it would be. My tour guide Ben was very insightful and knew all the cool picture spots and cool stories. He also was my family’s tour guide for Muir Woods and just was amazing with my loud family. The 3 hours to yourself was nice got to hike some and see the waterfalls and views. Just want too say thank you again too my amazing tour guide he was truly amazing. -Amber
