Two thumbs up!

James was a fantastic (and safe!) driver/guide. Muir Woods was such an experience - words are not adequate. The stop in Sausalito was brief but lovely.

Good, but rushed

This was a convenient way to get to Muir Woods and get a taste of Sausalito. Our driver, Joanne, was really friendly and gave out some great info along the way. My biggest complaint is it was too short of a trip. I would have liked to hike within Muir Woods, but we could only go about 20 minutes outside the tourist area before needing to turn back. And then we were only given 45 minutes in Sausalito, which wasn’t nearly enough time. We were starving and grabbed a bite to eat, but that took up the entire time and we couldn’t do any shopping or exploring. I would have liked to see at least 2 hours at Muir Woods and 1.5 hours at Sausalito.

Fun Tour To Muir Woods ans Sausalito!

It was a fun experience with Patrick our guide. He’s knowledgeable about the tour and funny with jokes at the same time. If he could tone down the jokes a bit and not step over our personal boundary more than once, then he’ll make an excellent tour guide.

Operator response

Hi Alec, Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Muir Woods and Sausalito and that Patrick's knowledge and sense of humour helped make the experience memorable. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the balance of humour and guest interactions.
