Can be quite a bit of walking on sometimes uneven ground. Amazing views of the majesty of giant trees.
Muir Woods trip. Great driver! Good dialogue the whole trip
Joe the tour guide was excellent.
The tour and guide were spectacular. The only issue I had was that the meet up/pick up time was different on my TripAdvisor ticket than the actual time. A bit problematic but, all in all, a great way to see Muir Woods
Judith was a great guide! Enjoyed the Muir Woods!
On time, comfy travels, entertaining driver guide who was informative about all areas, funny and clear with instructuons.
Our guide was great! He was snarky which I loved and he gave lots of interesting information as he drove the crazy roads! A few things that I didn’t love- if you take the ferry option you are actually paying more than if you just paid for it yourself since it is just a form of the San Fran public transportation system and is easy to pay for on your own. Also, I was caught off guard that the ferry that was being used was different than the one the tour company advertised and we ended up at the Ferry Building instead of Pier 39. And be aware that if you get picked up at the Fisherman’s Wharf location at the beginning of the trip, the bus could be almost full already and you don’t get to sit with your group. But even with those complaints, I would do the excursion again!!
