The Redwoods are incredible!

It was a great experience! Patrick, our driver, made the trip fun! He told us fun facts and told jokes to pass the time! Patrick took us to a spot for the perfect Golden Gate Bridge photo! He also offered to drop off anyone who wanted to go to Union Square or another out of the way spot to have dinner, etc. He was a super nice man, full of information and perfect for the Big Bus Tour. The tour itself was quite enjoyable since we left the driving to Patrick!

Great tour

The Muir Woods/ Sausalito tour was great! Highly recommend booking this. Just an FYI, we upgraded to the ferry for our return back and it turns out the ferry takes you back to Pier 1 and not Pier 39. Not a problem for us bc we stopped by the shops/restaurants at Pier 1 and took a Lyft back to our hotel near Pier 39.

Muir Woods A Must

Don was our driver and he gave a great commentary on the history and culture of the areas we drove through. Muir Woods was absolutely beautiful, our bus was clean and comfy with an extra large windscreen/roof for viewing. Good options for pick up and drop off. Very happy we did this tour.
