Ben was our tour guide and he was great. The tour started going through parts of San Francisco that you would normally not see and hear about. Our first stop was the Golden Gate Bridge for a few minutes. Then we took the drive up to Muir Woods. Muir Woods is beautiful and quiet. We went all the way to bridge 4 in about an hour but we are fast walkers and we still were able to stop and take in the beautiful trees and take pictures. We would recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Ben made your tour enjoyable and informative, and that you appreciated seeing some of the lesser-known parts of San Francisco along the way. It’s great to know you enjoyed the Golden Gate Bridge stop and had enough time to explore the peaceful beauty of Muir Woods, take photos, and make it all the way to Bridge 4. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again in the future for another

On time, comfortable vehicle and Ben was a fun and experienced driver who went out of his way to connect with passengers and show us some great views. Muir Woods is simply stunning. Highly recommended.

This is a good tour if you only have a half-day for a taste of Muir Woods and Sausalito. Our driver/guide Randall was very knowledgeable and friendly and offered good dining recommendations in Sausalito. We chose to leave the tour there and return on our own by ferry to the City.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed your visit to Muir Woods and Sausalito and that Randall made the experience even better with his knowledge, friendly service, and helpful recommendations. Taking the ferry back from Sausalito is also a wonderful way to enjoy the Bay from a different perspective. We truly appreciate you choosing our tour and hope to welcome you again in the future!

Amazing view of ancient trees. Memorable short trip to the jungle and nice view of sea and shopping in Sausalito on return to the city. Recommended when visiting San Francisco!
Jessica_T, May 2026
It was a great experience. Driver was very knowledgeable about the area and added a few things to the tour.
Mark_T, Apr 2026
Our guide Dustin was simply brilliant. Offering a very knowledgable commentary of all activities and answering many questions. Prompt pick up and drop off. Ticked all boxes of a great trip..
Lori_L, Apr 2026
This was a wonderful tour with a peaceful walk in Muir Woods. For seniors there is the option to decline the entry fee and use your National Park Pass. Several on our tour didn’t realize this. The stop in Sausalito was nice for the ice cream and views, our guide took us on a drive through the headlands stopping for the most magnificent views of San Francisco. Highly recommend this small group tour!
Cristopher_L, Mar 2026
We called notifying operator that we would be late for 5 minutes maximum because we were currently parking; Operator said ok that is fine; We arrived 2 minutes late (instead of the 5 minutes) and the van was already gone; called the driver and he was very irate and even happy and proud that we missed him by 2 minutes; Why say that you will wait 5 minutes and then leave all of a sudden? Called again to see if we can just take the next tour (not even asked for a refund) and then the clown just brushed us off; He wouldn’t even turn down his TV so he can listen and understand what I was saying. Called back and he wouldn’t answer any phone calls anymore. Book another company not this one. Clown tours.
Georgios_V, Mar 2026
A nice excursion but some more time in Muir Natural Monument would add a lot to the whole experience.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Agreed! It's a hard place to leave. Thank you for sharing this input, much appreciated.
Paula_N, Mar 2026
Our tour guide Ben was very nice and helpful about questions that we had. He gave so much information about every area we passed on the way to and from the Muir Woods. The woods were amazing to see and then we stopped in Sausalito. Some people had oyster specials while we had some delicious ice cream that Ben recommended. I would totally recommend this tour!
James_C, Mar 2026
Great tour, guide was excellent, you will get a great photo opt of the Golden Gate Bridge , walk among the Redwoods and see a nice bayside town in Sausalito
Lori_E, Mar 2026
Loved the Muir Woods. So peaceful and refreshing! Our tour guide Ben was great and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed the day!
AtLinda, Jan 2026
It was wonderful. I loved all the activities and always seemed to have something to do on sea days aboard ship.
George_L, Oct 2025
We were provided more than expected. Timely, professional, friendly service! Dropped off at convenient location
William_L, Sep 2025
Dustin was a capable tour guide & driver. Good content & a safe driver. The stop at the Golden Gate Bridge overlook was good and 10min was an adequate time. The time at Muir Woods was a bit short ( slightly more than an hour). We could have easily spent more time here —it was beautiful. The hour at Sausalito was more than enough. Shops & some places to eat, but not enough time to do any eating other than an ice cream. We would have gladly traded the time for more time at Muir Woods.
Overall a good tour. The tour is listed at 5 hours (approx. ). Actual time was almost exactly 4 hrs.
Cathy_P, Jul 2025
This was a great trip to Muir Woods, a nice, serene, lovely place among the redwoods. Our well informed guide Dustin did a great job informing us the history of the area and a lot of interesting details. I highly recommend the tour!
Candy_K, Jul 2025
The tour is primarily transportation to and from. It is expensive for what is included. Not enough time in Sausalito to enjoy.
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Janis_B, May 2025
Stayed back in Sausalito. 1 hour just wasn't enough time to check things out. Took the ferry back. We'll worth it.
Tracie_S, Apr 2025
Excellent!! Comfortable ride. Roman was an incredibly knowledgeable and funny tour guide. He was 10/10 for knowledge, service, professionalism and humor. There was ample time for exploring the Muir Woods and Salcalito.

Samuel_J, Apr 2025
Access ride is long, narrow roads with lots of sharp curves, no phone services.
Guide was knowledgeable of area history.
Peter_C, Mar 2025
Had a great Day seeing the Woods , breathing fresh air! Good comfortable ride over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Hannah_M, Mar 2025
It was a great way to visit Muir Woods and Salsalito from San Fransisco. Roman was a safe and great driver.
Sarah_Y, Mar 2025
This trip was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide, Roman, was so funny and kind. He took showed us a little bit around the bay before getting on the bridge. He is very knowledgeable and taught us some very interesting information! We had plenty of times both at Muir woods and Sausalito. Would definitely recommend. The trip is kid friendly as well.
Pamela_K, Dec 2024
Just so fascinating walking thru Muir with all the giant Redwoods. Absolutely beautiful trees.
Plenty enough time to walk through it on this tour.
