Muir Woods and Sausalito tour

The tour guide wasn’t very friendly. He kept saying that he was going to leave us if we didn’t return to the bus at the exact time that he told us to return The time spent in Muir Woods was definitely not enough

The best tour, you can breathe peace, nature.

It is a unique place, lots of living nature, access is easy, you can go with a cane or wheelchair. We were able to see a reindeer eating, it is very beautiful, do not miss the opportunity to go. Inside Muir there is also a gift shop and a cafeteria; the coffee was very tasty. We returned by ferry from Sausalito, we loved it. I cannot help but notice how kind Christine, our guide, was; I would do it again.

San Francisco- Muir Woods- Sausalito

We have always wanted to see the Muir Woods and Judith our guide was a wonderful host. Judith was funny, informative and an excellent driver!! The coach was clean and comfortable. Judith was also very knowledgeable. We took the ferry back which was probably quicker than the drive but we missed Judith and her fun history. Sausalito was so packed and the lines for the ferry were very long we ended up leaving earlier than we had planned. Grey line tours really were the best we have done. Easy online and communicative with email information. Great value for the price!

Muir Woods and more

Great trip. Nice to get the full 90 minutes in Muir Woods. A great day out in San Francisco area. I’ve never been to Sausalito before and it was a cute place to get ice cream and go to shops with my teen.
