5.00This review is about our tour of Muir Woods, Sausolito and Alcatraz via Gray LineTours. We had a first class tour guide, her name is Judith. She was very thorough, knowledgeable, and made the experience very memorable. She was an encyclopedic scholar. We loved her. I could go on and on. We just wanted to say thank you. Judith. The Muir Woods tour is a must see. A real gem. Just be sure to combine it with the Alcatraz and Sausalito package. Grey Line delivers and so does Judith. Thanks Tripsters Chef Edwin Padilla Good Food…Good Vibes

5.00Loved Muir Woods and Sausalito. Muir Woods is a must see. Would like more time there. Had some trouble at will call for our tickets ( and 16 others on our tour)to board the ferry to Alcatraz Island. But thanks to Jennifer (I think that is her name. In middle booth at will call ) she made the right calls to get the problem solved. We made the trip to the island and thoroughly enjoyed that part of the tour.
Wonderful landscapes

4.00The tour allows you to be in places with very beautiful landscapes and full of nature, I would have liked that on the tour to Muir Woods there was audio Guide in Spanish, the guide although very courteous and friendly only speaks English and misses the story he told on the tour.
