Super convenient way to see the bridge, Muir Woods and Sausalito. Our driver was very impressive navigating the large bus through the windy roads while providing interesting commentary. Bay tour was nice, but the guide was a recording. Probably would have enjoyed a more interactive in-person guide, similar to the bus portion. Overall, really enjoyed.

Vanessa_R

It was a very nice and organized tour. I would recommend it. The Muir Woods were beautiful and the bay cruise was amazing.

Tina_D

It was great! Joseph was an excellent tour guide and driver and he gave us fun facts as we left San Fran and made our way to Muir Woods! We even stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge, which I did not expect and was pleasantly surprised by! The stop allowed us to snap pics and to use the restrooms. As we drove into Muir Woods Joseph told us about the trees and wildlife. Muir Woods was phenomenal! It was showering but it just made it atmospheric! There were various paths and the main ones has wood boardwalks. I throughly enjoyed my 90 mins at Muir Woods. Sausalito was great too! Joseph gave us recommendations on various food places and we went to the Mexican restaurant. It was a great time and I was very glad we booked a tour. I highly recommend!

Tour bus driver Joe was excellent, providing commentary on the drives to Muir Woods and Sausalito. Opted for the tour with the Bay Cruise. Bay Cruise is done via a redeemable voucher at Pier 39– and as of the date of my tour, could be used at any point within 2 weeks. It did not have to be used the same day! All together a very easy way to visit Marin without renting a car

I was sceptical about this tour. But it passed all expectations. Muir Woods is a "go to" for anyone visiting San Francisco. It is difficult to get to with public transport so a tour bus is ideal. 90 minutes at the woods is plenty.

Muir Woods Park is amazing. It is only 30 minutes from San Francisco, so it is a great option if you want a half-day tour. Punctual and well-organized. The driver guide, Jan, was a native and gave us many tips about the city.

geoffreyr509

Wonderful areas to visit and lived up to all expectations. The driver was a great chap and very entertaining and helpful.

Amazing to see the Giant Redwood trees. Can't believe how big they are! Sausalito beautiful place to visit. Bay cruise was fabulous to see the Golden gate bridge and Alcatraz.

I am a tall person and the bus/van used for this tour was ridiculously cramped and uncomfortable, not to mention dirty. As a general rule, being packed into a small space like sardines makes for a physically unpleasant and potentially unsafe experience. If Grayline cannot offer a comfortable mode of transport, they should not be selling tours. Furthermore, the time allotted to explore Muir Woods and Sausalito was insufficient. We didn't realize that most of the tour was "on our own" and unguided. Very disappointing experience.

Muir Woods is remarkable though the tour is not. Advertised as a tour lasting 3 hours in Muir Woods (we were there 2). We were supposed to be in Saulsilito for two hours and we were there for 1 1/2 hours. The driver gave directions once, if asked to repeat he became irritated and never gave the info. The pickup instructions and location didn’t coincide with texts/emails and the location was difficult to identify. Finally I thought I had purchased a package that I could take the ferry back to Saulsilito at my leisure not take an hour cruise departing from Pier 39, did this yesterday. Again confusing description on product.
