Outstanding sightseeing tour.
gloriahV3679EU, October 2026

★★★★★Tripadvisor review
What a bus driver
raymondbb2016, October 2026
This company has an hour and a half gap between Alcatraz and Muir Woods and Sausalito tour. You get off the ferry from Alcatraz at noon and then at 2:00pm the van picks you up. The ride was okay but the tour guide went on and on about nothing but traffic. We went through Sausalito around 2:45pm on our way to Muir Woods which stays open till 6:00pm. We then went to Sausalito and arrived at 4:40pm and were informed the shops close at 5:00pm. Twenty minutes to walk and shop! We were dropped off in on parking lot and then she moved the bus to a different parking lot. We had to hunt down the bus when we returned. She asked how it was and we told her not good. On the return trip she told us all the streets she was taking and a one point began using her phone. English is a second language to her and the phrasing was hard to understand at times. Sign is posted 20% tip. But which part of the trip is the tip for? She was worthless!

★★★★★Viator review
Costly for the experience
Laura_D, October 2026
We did Alcatraz first, and I was surprised that this was a completely independent tour. We had a lot of time between returning from Alcatraz and being picked up for the tour. The driver told us a lot about the area on our way to Muir Woods. The admission to Muir Woods is not included in the tour, so we were glad to have a National Park pass to get in. We were there for one hour. The Sausalito stop was about an hour long as well. We had time to stop at a fantastic Mexican restaurant for tacos and a great margarita. I felt this tour was costly for the experience.
Response from the operator · Navigate50087960531
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the driver’s commentary, Muir Woods, and your time in Sausalito. Regarding the cost, our pricing is carefully studied to provide a balanced, convenient, and memorable overall experience. We appreciate your comments and hope you’ll give us another chance in the future!

Watch your wallet
Jim_M, October 2026
Very high chance you pay twice if you book with viator. Van fill of people, the ones that used viator had to pay twice for muir woods. Pretty good racket they got going
Response from the operator · Navigate50087960531

Our pricing is carefully studied to provide fair value for the complete experience we offer. Our vans operate with a limited number of guests for a more comfortable experience, and our guides and staff are highly rated, professional, and experienced. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance in the future for the experience we strive to provide.
