Peaceful adventure

Ronald_C, May 2024

Our Tour guide Lisa did a great job, she was very knowledgeable and made the experience wonderful. We tried to tip her but didn't have cash maybe a QR would be helpful. The tour was amazing and we would highly recommend it ! Alex

Worth the trip

Jennifer_V, May 2024

We had an amazing trip and our guide was very personalable and had lots of information. She has a great playlist for the extended time in the van. The trees were breathtaking…do yourself a favor and book this excursion. Only downside was that Sausalito closed down around 5 and that’s when we hit it, but it was still a lovely stroll along the Bays shore.

Not a "guided" tour

PierreYves_D, Apr 2024

Not a guided tour: there were little to no stories or fun facts during the drive, let alone when walking around. Muir Woods and Sausalito are great on their own, but the tour description is misleading, as the "guide" was just a driver dropping us from place with minimal guidance. For travelers who like to explore on their own and do their own research this may be fine, but for people expecting to learn a lot, it is a disappointment.

Wonder experience. Muir...

Tracy_C, Apr 2024

Wonder experience. Muir Woods is so vast in size of the red woods and so serene. Definitely tried it once. You will not be disappointed.

Disappointing tour due to low service quality

safak_k, Apr 2024

I would like to share my disappointment with your tours. As a group of four we took part in the Muir Woods guided tour on April 5th at 7:15am. It is written a guided tour, but in the end everything was done in a self-guided setting. You have appointed a guide who was giving us directions in 3 minutes on the parking lot in both locations. This is by no definition a guided tour. We had to explore in every spot by ourselves. There was no real added value of a guide or any culturally enriching information provided. I am happy that the person drove us there but the information on the various booking platforms (Viator and GetYourGuide) was misleading and can even be considered a scam due to high price and low/no service. I wrote an email immediately after the tour, requesting an explanation, but I never received an answer.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello Safak! We’re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience with Incredible Adventures and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. We apologize for any confusion regarding the nature of the tour. As per the conditions of our permit at Muir Woods, none of our tours are guided within the park. Additionally, in Sausalito, it is listed as free time for exploration, as indicated in our tour descriptions. We're sorry if the level of guidance provided did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is essential to us, and we will review our communication on booking platforms to ensure clarity and accuracy. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more satisfying experience in the future.

Phenomenal!

Cost didn't equal the value

Joshua_D, Dec 2023

Trip felt rushed and not a lot of time to enjoy the locations. For example, we spent more time driving than in Sausalito. The tour guide was a lovely person but shared minimal facts about the locations.

Majestic Muir Woods

Bryan_M, Nov 2023

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.

This place is a Like a Magical Forest.

Stacey_R, Nov 2023

It was an amazing space to spend the evening. It gets cold so bring your jacket. You can go for a hike or simply wander around. All the views are awesome, and you get to see the tallest trees on earth. If you are lucky you get to see some wildlife. This place is well preserved, and very calm place to connect with nature.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hello Stacey! Thank you for taking the time to review your tour!

Very nice time in the woods, had a great guide and good amount of time there to explore. Sausalito was also nice, and opted to take the ferry back which I recommend.
