Muir Woods is an awesome experience - serenity, calm and an incredible connection to nature. The tour package and guide were excellent. Adding the bay cruise was a real plus to the day.
The trip was great, just the right amount of time at Muir Woods and we enjoyed the ferry trip back to San Francisco. We liked the afternoon in Sausalito. The coach driver was great too, drove well, gave good information and clear information on timings etc.
Archie was an outstanding driver and tour guide. He took those switchbacks up to and back from Muir Woods like a seasoned pro (those turns are tight!). He also shared a lot of interesting information as well as pointed out some excellent lunch choices while in Sausalito. Muir Woods is a breathtakingly beautiful, magical place - be sure to visit if you're in the area. I highly recommend this tour.
I was born and raised in SF. Living in SF for 35 years I regret to say I had never visited Muir Woods. The woods have such a Jurrasic and Magestic feeling and appearance. The tour guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable and I learned a few things about SF I never knew. All in all great day. Our tour guide however was very unapproachable and seemed bothered to answer simple questions by all guests perhaps he was having a bad day as we were forwarned by the Initial check In attendant.
Party good - Palace of Fine Arts, Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods are all spectacular and well worth the visit. This tour was an effective way to see them all, and our driver provided knowledgeable commentary about the city and some of its history. Partly not good - The bus smelled and was not clean, the driver had a terrible cough/sore throat and blamed allergies, might have been better for him to take a sick day. There are two ferry lines between Saucelito and SF and he gave us the schedule and info for the one we didn't have tickets for. The ferries dock at two different places.
