Everything was great. Informative bus driver and the woods are worth it. If only the activity was 30 minutes longer to enjoy the woods without rushing, it would've been excellent. There was always a clock ticking in my head to make sure we were back on time to leave.

This was a nice way to get transportation to Muir Woods and get dropped off to see the views in Sausalito. However, I would not call this a guided tour. We were dropped off at Muir Woods to walk around ourselves, which was wonderful. We were then driven to Sausalito and told a few details about things on the roadside. Overall, I would recommend this solely as a means of visiting the two destinations.

Excellent guide. Quick (1.5 hr) trip into Muir Woods. I took the hour option (bridge 2) but didn't know it was closed near the end, so I ended up going back the way I came. But it was a great stop with an optional drop-off in Sausalito and you take the ferry. Knowledgeable and fun guide, and rangers in the park are helpful too.
