Amazing Service - The views were amazing! I wish I could recall our tour guide's name, he was incredible! The tour offered just enough time to see Muir Woods, Sausalito as well as the GG Bridge!!! Cannot go wrong with booking this tour!

Great tour with a great guide - The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. I ended up taking the Ferry back after his suggestion and it was wonderful. Also the other passengers were friendly and I enjoyed hiking with them through Muir Woods!

Self-Guided Tours - Muir Woods itself was amazing! Once we were able to identify the path to take to view the trees. Our driver was just that … a driver. We were under the impression that the driver would be more interactive with giving insights and Information about the things we were seeing along the route and a fun part of the trip but for the most part she just drove with the music turned up. We were in the back of the bus and she asked if we needed air let her know which I did. We went several blocks and I checked the vents up above us which still had no air coming out. I spoke up again and said there was still no air coming out. She said something which I could not hear due to the radio being turned up so high. Finally she clicked the correct switch or something and we got some air circulating. Her initial question when we first boarded was “has everyone seen the Golden Gate Bridge yet”? One or two said yes and she followed up with ok I was just going to see if you all wanted to skip stopping at it. Upon arrival at each site she only told us about what time to be back and provide no details or assistance about where to go or things to do without probing for answers. We enjoyed the Muir Woods but that was about it. The guide was a disappointment.

Terrible guide. Not worth the money. - Terrible guide. Not worth the money. The guide was 20 minutes late to pick us up as he weas on the wrong side of the block. There were 14 of us in the group so I would have thought he would have worked it out sooner that he was in the wrong place. His apology was a brief “My bad”. He clearly was unfamiliar with the vehicle as he didn't know where the handbrake was, couldn’t open the door and couldn’t turn the wipers off. He made a series of banal observations which were either inaccurate or uninformative. Also, he didn't keep his eye on the road whilst talking to us/looking out window which was unsafe and i wasn't the only one who was nervous. We chose the option to get the ferry back. He didn't know ferry times, was completely wrong about how long the ferry journey would be (my husband corrected him). When we arrived in Sausalito he didn't know where the ferry terminal was. Looking at a map on his phone he originally took us to the wrong one. At this point we gave up on him and left the group.

Horrible Booking Service - Booked by calling rep to ensure distance and pick up location. I was told 10 minutes from hotel but it was 45 min. Had to get an Uber to and from pick up location. On day of, s different rep told me a different address so I paid cash to Uber driver and paid Uber for cancellation of 1st address after ride started. Viator refused to understand the issue. They will continually tell you they are trying to contact vendor but no answer. The rep told me it was a different address. Language barriers were ridiculous! Driver- nice but New so not a lot of context to the city or areas. Not considered a guide because she didn't have a lot of context for driving through various areas of the city. I'm sure with time it will improve.
