Muir Woods was enchanting. I would have liked more time at Saulsalito, we had about an hour, which was just enough time to get a bite to eat didn’t get to explore the town like I would have liked.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad you found Muir Woods enchanting—it truly is a magical place. We understand there’s so much to see in Sausalito, and while the tour schedule allows about an hour there, we recommend taking the ferry back if you’d like to spend more time exploring this charming town. We hope you'll join us again soon!
