Would have loved to get closer to Lombard street, we were several blocks away. Didn't get to see the switches up close. Everything else was excellent
Damiana_H, Apr 2026
We had an excellent tour of Muir Woods and Salsalito with Buddy today. There was some sort of confusion about our booking. We were on a cruise ship and only had a certain amount of time. When I booked our tour, it said it was for four hours, but the total tour was almost 9. We ended up not being able to do the city portion of the tour, but we still had a great day.

Excellent tour with a well informed and humorous guide, Buddy. He was surely my buddy as I left personal items on the passenger seat and he was nice enough to bring them back to my hotel.

Absolutely enjoyed my visit to San Francisco with this combo Muir Woods & Sausalito and SF City tour. As a solo traveler, I felt I got to see all I wanted to see in this duel package. The first one was with tour guide Buddy with a lovely half day in Muir Woods National Park, followed by lunch and some free time in Sausalito. The second tour was a perfect overview and highlights of the City from a knowledgeable, kind and fun tour guide, Randy. He knows SF and showed us all the stunning attractions without feeling like we were running around from place to place. Randy's tour was small in a Sierra SUV, making it more intimate and elegant.

Very informative, friendly operators, excellent communication. Having a small group makes it more personal.
Dawn_H, May 2025
Muir Woods was beautiful, wish we had a bit more time though. Some restaurants were not open in Sausalito due to it being Sunday. Both guides were friendly and helpful. Kiril was funny along with informative.
Reva_M, Apr 2025
This trip was so enjoyable. Our tour guide, Buddy, was very informative and humorous. His stories about famous people and why street names, buildings, philanthropists were part of the history that we saw. Muir Woods Park was phenomenal.
Susan_W, Apr 2025
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and highly engaging. Great tour. Small group size was a true delight.
Karen_M, Apr 2025
Most of the tour is spent on the bus. The list of places you will see is not necessarily what you will see. We went to different areas around the San Francisco area. Our guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable.
Really enjoyed Muir Woods beach.
Patty_R, Feb 2025
Wasn't very happy about being picked up over an hour late, but Viator immediately gave us a slight discount on our tour.
Jamie_W, Feb 2025
Michael was full of knowledge. He was very friendly and we enjoyed having him as our tour guide. Even in the rain, we had a fantastic time!
David_S, Jan 2025
The SF small group combo tour was wonderful. Ulreich did the first leg to Muir Woods, Randy did afternoon city tour. Both guides were informative, friendly and well versed in their area. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Elizabeth_C, Dec 2024
Great tour to Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods and Sausalito. Our tour guide was great and knowledgeable.

I was told late on the evening before that I won't be collected from my hotel after being told I would. So I had to walk 45mins at 7:30am through a bad neighborhood to get to the pick up point which was a hotel where I was the only one to get on. Then we drove past my hotel twice during the tour so that pissed me off a bit. I also was not told my tour was with 2 different drivers and the driver in the morning had no idea why we were not going to many of the places I paid for. In the afternoon I was dropped off in a random place and had to wait 2 hrs before being picked up for the 2nd half of the tour in the afternoon. Mike the guy from california was fantastic on the city tour I have to say but the organisation and everything else. Nah....

Had a great time seeing the tallest trees in the world. Went across the golden gate bridge and got to spend some time in Sausalito too.
Andy_J, Aug 2024
It’s hard to beat Muir Woods and the Redwood forest. Sausalito was really fun and scenic. Fog beat the Golden Gate Gate bridge today but it is memorable. The City portion was informative and got to see some cool sites. Joe was great driver knew his area and then some😂. Michael drove us to around the city showing all the sites and was very knowledgeable or was really good at making stuff up.
Fahad_A, Aug 2024
I had the experience with Joe and he passion for his work truly enhanced the experience. Highly recommend him for an unforgettable journey!
Kelly_H, Aug 2024
The trip to Muir Woods was great. The tour of San Francisco was okay. I had trouble hearing the guide and we did not go to some places because of the fog. Not enough breaks where we could take pictures.
Matt_R, Aug 2024
Enjoyed the Muirs Woods experience tremendously. Would have liked more time in Sausalito. Some of the city tour was redundant but still interesting. Both drivers and guides, Joe and Buddy, were professional, friendly and entertaining. However, by day’s end, we were exhausted.
Debora_M, Jul 2024
Really enjoyed the San Francisco history provided by Mike in the city & Joe in Muir Woods & Sausalito!! Very knowledgeable!
Harini_A, Jul 2024
Michael took us through almost everg street in SFO. He explained everything really well. Totally worth the money.
Bernadette_L, Jul 2024
The Golden Gate Bridge was my favorite! I thought the tour was a little too long, I left the hotel at 8:40am and returned at 7pm
Response from Host, Jul 2024
It is not one tour, but 2 different tours in one day: City tour and Muir Woods & Sausalito.
That is why it is so long.
Elizabeth_P, Jul 2024
Great trip. Favorite would be Muir Woods. Such a peaceful experience. Sausalito was fun and great fish and chips!
Ajay_S, Jul 2024
Afternoon tour for Muir woods was good but morning city tour was really bad. The driver didn’t follow itinerary as shown on viator.com. He never took us to Lombard street, twin peaks etc. he kept us in car for almost 2.5 hours and kept taking about different residential buildings and roads. I would never recommend this.
CAROL_B, Jun 2024
Jerry was awesome!! Very informative with history of the area, the buildings and homes. Muir woods was beautiful! We had an hour to walk around. Jerry gave us info on the restaurants at our stops and ice cream! Also best spot to take pictures.
Nathalie_M, Jun 2024
This tour was excellent. Buddy was extremely informative and we were able to see all of San Fransisco in a few hours.
We were returned to the hotel for lunch and picked up with another driver, Joe for the afternoon portion of the tour at Muir Woods and Sausalito.
Muir Woods spells incredible and Sausolito was lovely by the water!
Todd_P, May 2024
Favorite parts of the tour - Randy showing us Lombard Street and the locations of the Bullitt car chase scenes, time at the Golden Gate Bridge, and some of the city's historical background.
Great introduction to the most famous and iconic 'Frisco sites and sights.
Ingrid_B, May 2024
Great tour, our guide Ulrich was very knowledgeable!
