I enjoyed the sights on the tour - driving across the Golden Gate Bridge was fun and I loved Muir Woods. I was not aware that the bus would be open air, which made it quite windy at times, especially on the bridge. The bus driver talked the entire time, which was mostly OK, but sometimes just loud. It would have been nice to enjoy some scenery quietly for at least part of the ride. The bus driver did make what he said what as extra stop to get a great view of the bridge before driving back. And he spend time taking photos for everyone which was also nice.

Well the positives first - Muir Woods was incredible! Lovely walking trail, takes about 90 minutes to walk it and there is a little cafe/gift shop and toilets that you pass on way in and out. We decided to stop in Sauslito and get the ferry back, which is well worth it if you have extra time to spare - however the ferry is not super regular so make sure you time it all correctly if you go! The downside to this tour was our guide, he was very loud! Even with the microphone turned down it was still over the top, as it was a minibus that only had 18 people on it! Also although his commentary was very interesting, it was non stop and it would have been nice to have had some quiet moments to marvel at the lovely scenery.

It was a pleasant drive up to Muir Woods in a very comfortable small bus. The driver, James, entertained us with tidbits of history about the sites we passed along the way. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and also a very good driver on those winding roads. And the redwoods were AWESOME. The park was so peaceful and well-maintained. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it!
