WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
This guided Muir Woods tour from San Francisco has a relaxed pace so you can fully experience this misty giant redwood forest. Pick up from convenient locations in Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. The tour features a morning crossing of the foggy Golden Gate Bridge on your way to Muir Woods and a stop in the charming seaside town of Sausalito.
2.
Nature Trails Under 250-Foot Coast Redwoods After entering serene Muir Woods, you will walk on the nature trail through the towering Coast Redwoods protected by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908, some over 250 feet tall.
3.
Plants & Animals Living Under the Forest Canopy Be on the lookout for northern spotted owls, deer, ladybugs and 13 species of ferns that have been there for more than 300 million years as you study the redwood canopy above you. Take a moment to enjoy the silence in Cathedral Grove.
4.
Sausalito’s Charming Crafts and Seaside Restaurants From Muir Woods, your guide will head to Sausalito, a seaside community full of charm and unforgettable views of San Francisco. On its bustling streets, you’ll have time to browse and find a lunch table with a view.
5.
Return by Crossing Over the Golden Gate Bridge After our excursion in Sausalito, we will make our return trip back to San Francisco but not before a stunning southbound jaunt across the Golden Gate Bridge.
6.
Optional ferry return to San Francisco

It was a great experience! Muir Woods was incredible! Our tour guide was an Irish guy that had quite the gift of gab and knowledge of the area! Truly a great experience while you’re in San Francisco. Sausalito is so pretty!

A Nice tour. Beautiful walk through the woods especially since we were the only peoplein the park at 0900. I wished that Viator used only one avenue for communication. I found it a little confusing when they used email,text or whatsapp to send me messages. Our stop in Salsileto was to early, most places weren't serving lunch yet. A side trip to Muir beach might be a nice add on in the future.

There was static on the intercom in the back of the bus so could not understand the guide very well. Might have been combination of the static and his accent. Very informative though and nice and helpful. Also Viator sent too many emails and messages; some of these had no content.

I loved being able to see the must-see spots in San Francisco without the stress of planning myself & having a knowledgeable, friendly guide to provide commentary along the way. Joe was wonderful

Solo traveller wanting to see Muir woods. I found the admin side of this company very strange- I was booked for the PM tour and they moved me to the AM tour instead which was fine. But I was then told 4 different pick up times and turns out the new tour wasn’t even with this company it was with their sister company ‘Greyhound’ (which they failed to tell me).
The tour with Greyhound was actually really good and I would highly recommend this tour- just don’t book through Extranomical- go straight to greyhound and you’ll have a great morning out.

They cancelled the tour the day before! No reason either. Of course all other companies were booked! Then took a while to refund money. Save yourself the hassle of a tour company bailing at the last minute- and save money!!- take the bus to pier 39 and then take the ferry over to Sausalito yourself and use the shuttle bus to Muir from there. Ferry is like $14 and shuttle is $4-5. Then you aren’t on a schedule either! You have to book a shuttle in advance but this way is waaaaay cheaper and they won’t cancel on you!

Overnight and long layover in San Francisco. Definitely did not want to spend the day in the city. Was very happy that I could book the afternoon tour of Muir Woods and Sausalito a few hours before it began. They called me straight away to confirm and also helped me on the phone find the pick up spot which was obscure, no street number and no tour signage at the Hilton Hotel, Union Square location. Dustin was our tour guide, and he was very laid back, informative and very caring towards his tourists, as well as friendly and chatty with his guests. It was fantastic to just sit back and relax and not have anything to worry about , since I had just experienced exhausting travel delays. Great experience being with the trees, getting an ice cream in Sausalito and driving around San Francisco. Dustin was very generous with his restaurant recommendations, even offering to text a spreadsheet of them!
