Amazing adventure!

Awesome trip! The guide was so personable and the information was amazing. It wasn't just a tour of Muir Woods.... the entire ride out there we got a running commentary on San Francisco and everything we passed. The woods were beautiful. Note: This is NOT a big bus. That is the name of the company. It's a small 18 person van. Note 2: the location of the pickup is a completely different place. You need to go to the Big Bus office and get the ride there. This needs to be updated in the description of the trip.

Beautiful and serene. James our tour bus driver was kind, funny and upbeat. If being a tour guide doesn’t work out, James definitely has a future career in comedy

Terrible. They left me there even though I was at the meeting point exactly on time. I’m really disappointed and would like my money back.

Our driver Lester was very amusing and had good information. The drive was rainy and the King Tides were high so our driver had to detour but he made us feel comfortable because of his positive attitude. I would definitely recommend using this tour company to Muir Woods.

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.

Worth every penny

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.
