Traveler reviews
Don was awesome, very...
Don was awesome, very informative and personally made sure we had a great time. The redwoods were beautiful and it was easy to see with this tour.
A nice day out if the weather is good.
I found myself with a free day in San Francisco and wanted to experience more than the city could offer, this trip seemed like a great way to get out of the city. I booked through TripAdvisor, but ended up with comms from Viator, Grey Line Coaches and TripAdvisor - make sure you read through the details as you will need to find pickup details and waivers to sign in advance. The pickup was right on time and the coach was clean and comfy. We first stopped for 10m on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge to get some photos, then headed to Muir Woods. The coach only stops for 90m here, so if you were hoping to walk a longer trail you may be disappointed. The guide gets you through the entrance, then you’re left to your own devices. The woods themselves were amazing, though some people seemed incapable of enjoying the space quietly - perhaps a weekday would be quieter. The coach then carried us on to Sausalito where there are some shops and restaurants. The turnaround for people returning by coach was quite short (just over an hour), if you return by ferry you can pick your own crossing and get handed a clipper card to use. I managed a nice walk all along the front, some lunch and some browsing in 90m. The ferry ride back was great as it skirts Alcatraz and drops you at the Ferry Terminal. Given the price of the park and ferry, I thought the value of the coach was ok, but not great. I did however have a lovely day exploring.
Dani is the best!
I had so much fun! Dani our bus driver and tour guide was the best! I was honestly debating just going on my own but I’m glad I went with the tour. I would definitely recommend!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. My family and I enjoyed our time and would highly recommend to others.
Worth it.
The landscape and views were beautiful. The length of time was good and facilities and stops good. The bus was scary though. Needs shocks. Sat in farthest back seat with several huge guys and we bottomed out on the winding roads many times. Thought the bus was going to break apart!
