Great family experience. - Loved seeing Golden Gate Bridge, having 90 minutes at beautiful Muir Woods and seeing Sausalito. Mr. Brown, our driver was very informative and helpful. Had our 15 and 17 year old with us and they loved it too.

Amazing time at Muir woods - Me and my friends went for a hike in Muir woods last December and had a great time. The treks are well maintained and lots of interesting information provided on the way. The Redwoods look so amazing and I found the whole experience spiritually uplifting. Looking forward to go there again

Rain and Fog didn't keep us away, thanks to Lester! - LESTER!! He was an exceptional guide! It was a very rainy day and the fog was dense, so we couldn't see much. However, Lester kept us entertained with SF history and fun facts. More importantly, he was a very skilled and safe driver. He took his time navigating the way to Muir Woods, which were majestic! Thanks to Lester, the rain and fog didn't keep us from enjoying this trip!

Great tour guide - Our tour guide was really great. Maybe Pat? He remembers everyone by their state.. A bit loud but otherwise likes his job for sure. Muir Woods was nice and the ferry from Salsalito was nice too.

Time Considerations - Lester, our driver/guide, was very funny and charming. He really set the tone for a fun tour. Muir Woods itself was majestic and absolutely beautiful. It was the best part of our trip to SF. **Something to keep in mind if you’re on a schedule: this tour is longer than the booking description by over an hour because it’s not a drive through the town as advertised, they actually stop in Sausalito for 30-45 minutes on the way back to SF.**
