good price-quality ratio. Nice and competent driver. One of the highlights of my trip to San Francisco last summer

Pick up as advertised, and an informative trip through the city to and from the second pick up point. A safe and picturesque drive to Muir Woods, which we found beautiful and relaxing - an early tour so the woods were not crowded. More sightseeing on the way to Sausalito, and enough time there for coffee and cake! The bus was modern and clean, and the PA clear.

We had a fabulous time on this tour! The driver was our driver and tour guide in one. He was so witty and funny. We had a great day all around.

The driver, Don Mertle, was excellent. Had good stories and drove the winding, twisty roads up Sausalito to Muir Woods without missing a beat. The woods, the tour, the ferry back to San Francisco and especially the Waymo cabs were great (look up the Waymo cabs; you gotta try them.)!

It was a lot of fun. Guides were knowledgeable and polite. Definitely a good experience that I would recommend to others.

Beautiful woods with majestic trees. The road going to the woods is very curvy and a little scary especially traveling in a big bus. But our bus driver and narrator was very experienced and shared great information.

Well done tour, driver very friendly. Tour allows you to explore by yourself, as long as you are punctual on returning to the bus on time!

It was really great, accurate timing by the operator but I didn’t like we waited for a person like 15min and at the end they didn’t showed up, (waste of time). Besides that incident, everything went as planned and amazing. I would definitely recommend. Pd. They ask for like a 20%tip at the end, watch out with that one.
