Muir Woods is Spectacular

Perfect description of the trip. Muir Woods is absolutely spectacular. The bus driver was the narrator. Great narration. The boat ride back was worth the upgrade on the bay. Short boat ride, 30 minutes

An enchanted forest that we will keep in our memories

An unforgettable experience. Visiting this enchanted forest is one of the best memories of our trip to San Francisco

What a great day

Joseph and Darrell were a dynamic duo. Joseph’s commentary was so well done. Informative and fun. Darrell‘s driving was fantastic. We had no idea about the narrow roads and switch backs. But it was evident there was no need for concern, as we were in the hands of an experienced driver. The time spent at each stop was just right. We went with our two adult children in their 20s. A great day was had by all.

Wonderful trip and tour

Adolfo was great! He knew tons of interesting things about the city, kept us on time and really added to the experience. Muir Woods is just wonderful and I highly recommend the early morning trip since there are fewer people and it’s really peaceful even if it is a bit foggier than later in the day.

Stay in the Woods

Great Scenery, if 90 minutes in the woods were to be doubled (a total of 3 hours) it would be even greater!
