Overview
On most shore excursions you're relegated to cityscapes in ports of call. However this half-day tour of the Muir Woods National Monument will get you out of the urban jungle and into some of northern California's most-famous redwood country. Pass over the majestic Golden Gate Bridge with dramatic views of the Marin headlands, and eventually drop down into Muir Woods to wander the loamy soil beneath centuries-old coastal redwoods. Choose from tours at several different start times, and bring comfortable walking shoes.
- Choice of several departures throughout the day
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off included
- Comprehensive tour by bus/coach
- See native wildlife in their natural environment
- Informative, friendly and professional guide
- Family friendly
Why Travelers Choose This Tour
If you're already seen San Francisco, trade your cruise ship for the quiet of an ancient redwood grove instead.

Everything was very smooth. The tour guide did a wonderful job! I will be using when I visit for another tour. Highly recommend!

I love Muir Woods! We got there safely and had the promised 90 minutes. That's worth 3 stars.
The excursion description says that hotel pickup is provided for certain hotels. One of those hotels was 2 blocks from ours so I chose that as a pickup point, but when I called to confirm I was told abruptly and several times that we had to go to Post (or Fisherman's Wharf). OK, then why offer something different online.
But what really disappointed me was the lack of tour guide. I had read other reviews about how great and knowledgeable their person was. Our driver was also the tour guide which I'm guessing wasn't the original plan. His English was very hard to understand, and he seldom narrated, just basic things and advertisements for different places. He was unable to recognizably say some basic landmark names. I think he did a good job driving, just a lousy job as a narrator

What a beautiful park! The drive is scenic all the way and when you get into the park it's like being in another world. Mr. Patrick was an excellent tour guide, so friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommended!

Tour ran over the allotted time by over an hour but partly that was because our driver stopped at the Golden Gate and let us take photos which was fantastic. Muir Woods was stunning and incredible. Highly recommend.

Adolfo with Tower Tours was our guide, and he was amazing! Commentary was excellent, played music as he drove that set the San Fran mood, and took us to a fantastic viewpoint you won't want to miss!
Muir Woods is such a nice change from the typical tour area. Serene and fresh air. Take a jacket!

this is a big WOW. Driver George was knowledgable, about the woods. You could tell he really loved those woods and worked to show as well as protect them. This was a good trip.
