The bus driver kept us...

The bus driver kept us engaged during the ride to the Muir Woods, and the national monument itself was incredible to see. Plenty of time built in to do a good walk through and hit the store on the way out.

It was a bucket list item to see the redwoods. A fantastic trip and experience. I wish we had a little more time in the woods.

Our tour guide was entertaining and shared a lot of interesting facts. I'm so glad we did the tour instead of driving it ourselves like we considered--the mountain road would have been stressful and we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the views. The woods are absolutely breathtaking.

Overly chatty driver and missing our return thru Marin Headlands
Jpbrnidgrl7
, Sep 2019
We signed up specifically for a tour that did *not* include Sausalito, as we had no interest in shopping or dining there. We intentionally chose a Muir Woods tour that returned with a scenic drive through the Marin Headlands, and that’s not what happened. We were driven through Sausalito, where the bus parked for ten minutes, and then directly back over the bridge. Also our bus driver didn’t turn on any AC or open any windows until I finally had to beg for some air, as I’d gotten so carsick on the trip. Muir Woods is phenomenal, but I was not impressed with this tour.

Muir Woods, highly recommended

First our bus driver James was the best. He provided so much information about Muir Woods and the area in general. If I would do this trip again I would request him. The drive out to Muir Woods is beaufiful and the woods themselves are breath-taking. the air is so clean and fresh. The trees themselves look majestic. The Big Red Bus was clean and very comfortable.
