Had a wonderful experience with Extranomical Tours! Muir Woods is a magical place to visit. Our tour guide Kimmy was very knowledgeable, caring and safe. After spending about 1,5 hours in the park we ended up in a lovely town of Sausalito. The tour was well planned, would highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco.

Wonderful. Yes, we think the slower pace of this tour and stop in Sausalito makes it special. Thanks for joining us!

Great tour. Great guide. This tour did NOT include fee to enter Muir Woods. That was part of the reason we chose it over another one. We are seniors and have the National Park Senior Pass. It was awesome to see Muir Woods and the redwoods. Beautiful! Van also stopped in Sausilito. We had the option of taking the ferry back to SF, which we did. Sausilito is quaint, lovely town. Views of SF on return were great. Loved every minute of it.
