Amazing

Great tour to Muir Woods and Sausalito
Friendly tour guide with lots of recommendations. Sufficient time in Muir Woods to explore several trails and enjoying Sausalito afterwards. Would strongly recommend to book the ferry as return which gives as much time as wanted to enjoy the scenery, shops, restaurants and bars.

Majestic Muir Woods
Chadwick was a great tour guide. Muir Woods was amazing and Sausalito was beautiful. Could have used a little more time in Sausalito, 1 hour was not enough. Your bus got a little warm in the back.

Q:What is the best way to visit Muir Woods?
A:Visiting Muir Woods with a guided tour has several advantages over driving there yourself. Primarily, you will enjoy a richer experience in the company of a guide who can offer expert insight into the forest, and you won’t have to worry about parking (reservations for which must be made in advance).
Q:What is the best time to visit Muir Woods?
A:The best time to visit Muir Woods is from May to October, when the weather is mild and warm. To avoid summer crowds, visit in the early mornings or late afternoons. Early morning, when the trees are shrouded in thick fog, is a particularly magical time to visit.
Q:How much time do you need to spend at Muir Woods?
A:One to two hours is enough to visit the main areas of Muir Woods. However, if you plan to hike one of the longer trails that lead around the national monument, you should give yourself between three and five hours.
Q:Can you drive through Muir Woods without a reservation?
A:No. You cannot drive through Muir Woods since no road leads through the national monument. The old-growth redwoods are not visible from any road. Moreover, all drivers (and shuttle riders) must book entry tickets in advance. Book a guided tour to avoid the reservation system; if you feel adventurous, hike in.
