The trees are big and beautiful. And the boat tour was even more amazing. Wouldn't recommend Muir Woods for the young ones, unless they are into hiking. All I heard was screaming mimi's everywhere. It really took away from my experience. Kids get bored and then get mad and cry

Thanks for your review, Michelle. You chose to undergo a great combination, on the one hand, experience the majestic redwoods trees and, on the other hand, enjoying the escape of the rock adventure onboard the Cruise. Let me take the opportunity to mention that families with young kids can bring their strollers on our buses, so they can use the paved paths at Muir Woods and explore them in a more relaxed way. We hope you'll come and see us again soon! Andrea Customer Relations Manager Gray Line San Francisco

Very organized tour. Randy was our driver and guide and he was very professional, knowledgeable and very funny. We started the trip with a short city tour, stopped at Golden Gate Bridge and went to beautiful Muir Woods National Park. We stopped for lunch at Sausalito. The company organized our Alcatraz tour for 2:10 pm. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend Grey Line of San Francisco!
