Our tour guide was fantastic. He was very informative about the area leading to as well as the woods themselves. These woods are so pristine, gorgeous, awe inspiring, massive and serine. We had about 2 hours to walk around and take pictures and take in the beauty. We left the woods and then drove through Sausalito which is both beautiful and a shoppers paradise. We did not get off the bus as we had another engagement. Highly recommend this excursion.

Muir Woods is worth the trip
Susie_d, Mar 2024
It was a little confusing regarding the check-in, with different people telling me different instructions. The tour Tamia Woods was wonderful, although the narration left a lot to be desired.
Great trip!

Disappointed because in Sausalito we couldn't get off the bus to go to the pier and have an ice cream. We had to watch from the bus

Unforgettable
Mary_S, Jul 2022
Really enjoyed this. Muir Woods is so beautiful and peaceful. The stop at the GG Bridge was great. And the tour guide was very interesting. Some confusion with our ticket but it was solved quickly.
Do not book. Tour line out of business!!!
Brandy_J, Nov 2020
This tour line isn’t operating and the tour doesn’t exist. Do not book. Wasted my time and made me think I was going on a tour, didn’t book a different Muir Woods trip, showed up at departure site and no one there. Super shady and I am pissed. Would give zero to negative stars if possible. No Muir Woods for me this time.

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tours Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.
JImmy is awesome!
Mitchell_M, Oct 2019
Great tour! Highly recommend taking this tour vs. trying to drive yourself. After gas, tolls, parking headaches, etc. it's better to sit back and relax taking in the amazing views! Ask for Jimmy, super guy and loves his city! Very knowledgeable and just the nicest guy!
Response from Host, Oct 2019
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and thank you for giving a shout out to Jimmy, it is always nice to hear.
Muir construction site; a lesson learned
319elvinb, Sep 2019
The tour guide was very informative. The Muir Woods site was under construction therefore the tour was incomplete. Since we never visited the site we were ignorant to what it’s full capacity can present. I think you could have been more transparent about this adventure. I wouldn’t spend $150 again knowing that your tour is under construction.
Response from Host, Oct 2019
We are so sorry to hear about your disappointing experience on the Muir Woods tour. Thank you for taking the time to reach out and share your feedback.

The address of pick up is wrong on the voucher. The office was moved 2 months before but the address is still old on the voucher. We reached tour operator office 20 minutes the scheduled time but there was no one and the office is closed. The we called and they said we moved 2 months before and informed Viator but VIATOR still not updated the address on the voucher. It was very inconvenient to walk back in burry to catch the bus. VIATOR please change the address and inform your customers.

SUPER BAD, NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. Call The day before and wait for over one hour, but still no answer. VIATOR SWITCHED our reservation to a different tour company and time from 9am to 11am without any calls and emails notifications. Our family of 7 with kids have to pay additional Uber from Union Square (SF) to Fishermen Wharf. Not one apology from them. It messed up out plans for that day of scheduling for other activities. VERY TERRIBLE AND WILL NOT USE VIATOR AGAIN.

The amazing beauty of nature surrounds you at Muir Woods...while the power of man's invention is apparent as you cross the golden gate bridge! The ONLY hiccup with this trip was with Viator itself. You see, they sub contract out to other companies, in this case, City Sightseeing. When we got to their office, they said they were not running the tour this day...imagine my surprise. One of the gals at the counter just blamed Viator and did nothing...the other quickly called Grey Lines, who were running the same tour. We took a frantic cab ride back across town to meet that bus. THANK YOU GREY LINES for being so nice to fix this mistake!!! They saved the day...the attraction was terrific. The service by Viator and City Sightseeing very sketchy.

The tour to the Golden gate Bridge and redwood forest was great. The only problem with that as far as I got cause when I came out of the forest I noticed that my bus was no longer there it had left and never came back so I was just trying to find my way back to San Francisco.

I highly recommend going to Muir Woods when in San Francisco it is a chance to see trees that lived in the time of Christ and through the total history of America.

Our driver Dannielle was safe and courteous. We wish she would have done some reading about the area to offer us some local commentary. Muir woods are awesome!

Brandon P, Aug 2017
They overbook the 9am bus and you are not guaranteed a seat to Muir Woods. If you do not get a seat, you will not get to the woods until about 1pm. The staff were all very nice, but you get the sense that this happens every day, and they were pretty skilled at passing the buck and misleading people to just keep things calm. The woods are amazing, but be warned that this tour is misleading.

When i booked this tour i thought that the entry fee to muir woods would be included. Really it was an expensive bus trip.. wouldn't do this tour again . Muir woods was great though.

Amanda L, Jul 2016
The tour was good, my only complaint would be the amount of time between drop off and pick up. I was picked up in Sausalito at 12pm and we arrived in Muir Woods 1245, the next scheduled pick up wasn't until 4pm in Muir Woods. Over 3 hours!! I ended up taking the public bus back to Sausalito. :(
