Hugh trees!

We booked a Muir Woods and Sausalito trip with Gray Line. Our tour guide( I believe his name was Richard) was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He was an great driver, some of those hairpin turns were very tight! The Muir woods was amazing! The redwoods are huge! Sausalito was a cute little water front town and we had some delicious tacos at a place called Copita. I would highly recommend this tour!

Breathtaking

The woods were breathtaking, that being said there is a lot of walking involved

Muir Woods is lovely, but Viator needs new vehicles

It’s a lovely peaceful place with a good narrator, but the bus we rode in was uncomfortable and had no suspension
