Nice way to experience the woods and sausalito!
Our guide was helpful and warm- there was plenty of time to explore on our own also

Getting to the starting point might take some time. The coffee shop at the starting point is awesome.

I like that I was able to speak to people at Viator prior to my trip. I had a few questions about the tour.
I appreciated the text and email reminders and everything that I needed to know about the tour was included. I don't remember reading that I would be dropped off at the pier instead of where the tour began though.
I think that I would have liked to have stayed at Muir Woods longer instead of going to Sausalito, because an hour in Sausalito wasn't enough time to get a sandwich and see the marina.
I would recommend this tour to anyone.
I enjoyed the driver who seemed knowledgeable about the SF area. He was pleasant and helpful.

Really friendly and knowledgeable tour guide - a well rounded adventure with multiple opportunities to learn more about SF and its incredible nature.

Great way to see Muir woods and Sausalito. Both places were beautiful! Driver Robert was awesome. Great interesting facts along the way, photographer and so funny!
Alfred_P, Apr 2026
Muir Woods is lovely and the trees are amazing!
Our Driver was great!
Sausalito is nothing extraordinary but the water views are beautiful!
The seats in the van are small and I was very squeezed in and couldn’t see out of the van very well.
The amount of time out of the van didn’t make up for the amount of time in the van.
Mary_A, Apr 2026
Great experience. Knowledgeable driver. Well worth the money. Muir Woods is stunning and Sausalito is beautiful.
Deborah_S, Apr 2026
Easy & enjoyable. Small walk to see the trees, then a delicious lunch in Sausalito. I took away a star because we would’ve liked more time in Sausalito.
Karen_D, Apr 2026
Katya our guide was amazing! So knowledgeable and friendly! Would travel again with her! She answered all our questions.
Theresa_G, Apr 2026
Great experience. Loved both stops where we could walk around and spend time enjoying the sites. Tour guide was terrific.
Selina_H, Apr 2026

Gary_P, Mar 2026
Had great trip to muir woods and Sausalito, Dustin our tour guide was very informative along the way. He was very personable and easy to communicate with
Silvia_P, Mar 2026
The muir woods are breathtaking and the little village super cute but the best part of the tour was definitely Roman, our guide! Super funny, ultra knowledgeable and gave us so many quickly details and funny facts about San Francisco everywhere we went by. An excellent driver too! I had so much fun, learned a lot and totally worth it!
Jill_N, Mar 2026
Roman was a great guide and host. He shared his excellent knowledge of the area, was full of useful tips for our tour as well as San Francisco more broadly. He even managed to get a bunch of laughs out of my teenage son. No small feat.
Elizabeth_B, Mar 2026
Very nice tour experience! I didn't feel rushed at any of the stops and got more time at Muir Woods than listed on the tour, which was great! Great way to experience Muir Woods without the hassle of parking permits/traffic etc!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi there, thank you for taking time to leave us a nice review. We appreciate it!
Helga_F, Mar 2026
It was a great day with Dustin as our guide. He was so knowledgeable and fun and a very safe driver! We also had beautiful weather which made it so nice!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi Helga, we're glad you timed your trip perfectly with our unseasonably warm weather! :) We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Dustin. Thank you for leaving a review!
Tynesha_W, Mar 2026
This tour is a MUST! I had a wonderful experience. It’s a great mix of having a guide but also having your own time to explore as you wish. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and also lighthearted, kind, and funny. It put me at ease.
Edward_M, Mar 2026
Tour guide was fun, stops were a bit short. I did not like that our tour guide jumped out of the van, ran over almost begging for a tip and showing us his Venmo account. If we tip, there should be an anonymous way to do so.
Richard_E, Mar 2026
Katya was fabulous with loads of fun facts and trivia along our journey to Muir Woods & Saulsalito. Highly recommend this tour!
Christopher_W, Mar 2026
Roman was great funny and informative ……………………………….!!!!!!!! !! Muir Woods is a must. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We'll pass on your kudos! Thank you!
Joanna_B, Mar 2026
Great trip! Our driver was amazing & very funny. Kept our group entertained. I believe his name was Rowan? I do wish we had a little more time in Sausalito though. Being hungry after the Muir Woods hike left little time to explore the shops. Beautiful scenery in all the stops.
Janelle_S, Mar 2026
Muir Woods is a must see treasure! Sausalito was a fun stop on the bay to end the afternoon. Tour guide Roman was knowledgeable and funny as well as accommodating to the group.
Jennifer_G, Mar 2026
Loved this tour, Roman was a great driver and tour guide. He was funny and kept it very entertaining. Wish we had more time at each location but that’s not the tour fault. Worth it!
Ricardo_M, Mar 2026
the trip was awesome we saw good things and some deers which i wasn’t expecting that so that was cool but bring a backpack for some some snacks and water.
William_A, Mar 2026
Roman was a great driver and guide. He went above and beyond expectations. Underpromised, overdelivered.
Angela_V, Mar 2026
Well worth the fee. Adequate time to immerse yourself in the awesome Muir Woods. Quick look around Sausalito - we opted for a cocktail). On the way back we were able to view the Golden Gate Bridge from a high vantage point - great photos. Our guide Roman, originally from Germany, enlightened and entertained us the entire time and then dropped us each at or near our chosen location.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Appreciate the kind words, Angela, thank you!
Jennifer_S, Mar 2026
Absolutely wonderful tour and experience. We loved our tour guide Roman, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. We would highly recommend!
Valerie_S, Mar 2026
Dustin was very nice and helpful answering questions. We had a good time. I loved Muir Woods and could have spent more time there and less time in Salsaulito but all in all the weather was great and the photo ops were everywhere!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you, Valerie! We'll share your kudos with Dustin. Appreciate the review!
Kevin_B, Mar 2026
Nice place but would like a bit more time to walk a bit more of the route and would of liked to catch the ferry back
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks Kevin, appreciate your input on the tour timing. Agree with you, the time goes by fast. Glad it was a nice day for you!
Chris_S, Mar 2026
Such a good getaway from the city. Nice drive. The driver Roman was so informative and funny.
Spending time in Muir woods was so relaxing and quiet. Ice cream in sausalito was yummy and just found a place to sit on the bay and chill was nice.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your review! We'll pass your kudos to Roman.
