Redwoods

The redwoods were spectacular! The walkway was well maintained as well. Mike the tour guide was knowledgeable.

Muir woods emotional, fresh air and amazing wooden smell.
Better to have more time to see more plants and trees.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Dear Jessika,
thanks a lot for your feedback!
We are glad you enjoyed your time during the tour. Speaking about time in Muir woods, unfortunately, there is a rule in Muir Woods that tour buses are not allowed to stay there more than 1h30min, that's why we can be there only during this time.
Anyway, we will be happy to see you on our other tours!

A lovely experience & the duration of the excursion was just right!

Gerry, our tour guide was very informative and was very nice. My sons thoroughly enjoyed conversations with him. It was a lovely experience for everyone.
I would like my money back.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable- however far too accommodating to the disrespectful guests and less accommodating to the good ones. We got back 75 minutes late and felt rushed at the stops. Other guests were not ready for pick up in time and we drove around for an extra 25 minutes and went back to get them. Another guest was in the wrong location and we drove around to get him. The same guests were late for meeting times. We sat around waiting for them in the hot van. They got dropped off first and we were not even dropped at our hotel door because the tour guide had to rush to get the afternoon tour. He also spent a tremendous amount of time calling and texting while driving. We felt very unsafe. The Golden Gate stop was not where it was promised and was hurry you have 5 minutes. The staff at Muir Woods was not very kind when we were driving around looking for one of the late guests, but our driver was very negative- got out of the vehicle and was having words with the staff. Not appropriate. We will rethink using Viator again as they clearly do not train their staff to be respectful to all guests. There was a huge sign on the van about 20% of the tour cost as a tip. We did tip $20 only, based on the knowledge of the tour guide but were not impressed with our treatment. Rude, late guests should be given a 5 minute warning and then left behind.
Great Trip

It was a well-organized tour that was informative. The Redwoods are unlike anything else you will ever see.
Expected more for the money
Kelly_W
, Jul 2022
Mike the tour guide was great however the cost of the trip and what you get from it do not match. Mike didn’t have a speaker so the people in the back couldn’t hear what he was saying so he pulled over on occasions to then turnaround and tell everyone. We also decided to stay in Sausalito and not get the van back so realistically I paid the money for a van ride as we had to pay for the woods ourselves.

Absolutely beautiful trip

Magnificent park. Needed more time as we had to rush. Would suggest deleting stop at Golden Gate Bridge
To spent time at park instead. Even better to be dropped off and picked up later. Enjoyed the ferry ride back to San Francisco
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Dear Martha_S, thank you so much for your feedback, we are always glad to hear that our customers enjoyed their time on the tours.
Talking about stopping at GGB...some customers complain when the driver doesn't do it, and some complain when he does...we have a scheduled tour and have to follow the plan, sorry.
Anyway, we are delighted you liked the tour and it would be nice to see you on our other tours!
Not enough time in Muir Woods
Elizabeth_M
, Jul 2022
We didn’t have enough time in Muir Woods and too much time in Sausilito! If you book this tour know that the $15 entrance fee isn’t included ( clearly stated in description) but if you are a veteran with proof, you and a companion get in for free!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Dear Elizabeth,
thank you for the feedback and we are happy you enjoyed your time during the tour. Unfortunately, there is a rule that tour buses are not allowed to stay in Muir Woods for more than an hour or an hour and 20 min and we can't break this rule. I hope you understand.
Anyway, thanks for choosing our company and we are looking forward to seeing you on our other tours!
Perfect Addition to Your SF Trip
Elizabeth_B

My husband and I went on this tour while on our honeymoon in San Francisco. We had Ulrich as our tour guide and he was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and knew how to make the tour enjoyable. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour. We wish there was more time in the forest - it is an absolute must-see - but that’s what will happen with a half day tour. We opted to wander around Sausalito and take the ferry back to SF and we would recommend that as well. It takes the pressure off! Just get in line for the ferry early. We missed the first one and had to wait over an hour for the next.
If you are considering whether or not to take this tour, take it!
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Dear Elizabeth,
thank you for the feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your time during the tour. Also, we appreciate
your high ranking of Ulrich's work.
Unfortunately, there is a rule which we can't break- tour buses are not allowed to stay there more than 1h20min or 1 h., depending on the company (its schedule I mean) Anyway thank you for choosing our company and it would be nice to see you on our other tours!
Awesome morning in nature

Ulrich was a great tour guide! He provided some great historical background on Muir Woods. I wish we had more time in Sausalito
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Dear Shannon,
thanks a lot for your feedback and we are delighted you enjoyed the tour and that morning! Muir Woods is really breathtaking.
Unfortunately, we have a schedule for our tours and if you wanted you could stay in Sausalito longer and come back to the city by ferry later.
Anyway, it would be nice to meet you on our other tours!
Worth every penny

Ulrich was our guide and he was amazing! Loved the Muir Woods tour and the tidbits we learned about San Fransisco as well.
Great choice!

The guide from Whoville was outstanding. He provided a great amount of information in an interesting way that made the tour a lot of fun. Highly recommended!

GORGEOUS experience! A must see!
Lindsay_M
, Jul 2022
Tour guide was funny and informative, the views of the city were amazing, and the National Park was absolutely STUNNING. I plan to go back one day. Sausalito was also fun and we chose to take the ferry back and the view from the bay was one of the most beautiful things I have seen. I was truly blown away and didn’t expect to it enjoy it as much as I did.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
