On the way to the Woods, we usually make a short stop on the Northern side of the Golden Gate Bridge. We will spend one hour and twenty minutes in the Muir Woods and about one hour in Sausalito, where you can walk the Waterfront and enjoy the stunning views of the bay, bridges, and downtown SF.

Muir Woods National Monument
Enjoy the natural beauty of Coastal Sequoias! Muir Woods National Monument is a National Monument named after naturalist John Muir. It is located on Mount Tamalpais near the Pacific coast in SW Marin County and is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, just 12 miles (19 km) north of SF. It protects 554 acres (224 ha) of which 240 acres (97 ha) are old growth coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) forests, the tallest living objects on Earth. Due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the forest is regularly shrouded in a coastal marine layer fog. It remains cool and moist year-round with daytime temperatures averaging between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (4 to 21 °C). Millions of years ago ancestors of redwood and sequoia trees grew throughout North America. Today, the Sequoia sempervirens can be found only in a narrow, cool coastal belt from Monterey County, California, in the south to Oregon in the north.

Great way to see Muir Woods
Informative and perfect way to spend the afternoon. Muir Woods is incredible and was fun to learn about and experience. We had a very good dinner in Sausalito at Copita, as recommended by our guide. Small tour size was a plus.

Not worth the trip as advertised
I have done tours before and did one in LA city for 7-8 hours. This trip in comparison was very brief, but we knew that before starting. Only reason to go with this trip was, as we were unable to find parking at the Muir Woods. The bus was small and uncomfortable. Corner Seats have metal rods that make sitting rather difficult. Buddy was a good tour guide.
via Viator
Great tour!
Friendly and very knowledgeable guide. Lots of historical info to and from Muir Woods. Beautiful hike through paved and boardwalk trails. Stop at Golden Gate Bridge.

Great and Moving Experience
What a great outing! Our tour guide Jerry was fun and informative. The tour was perfectly paced. Muir Woods was stunning and the stop in serene Saucalito was a perfect follow up after that experience. Loved it!
via Tripadvisor
Best way to spend your morning in the Bay Area!
Jerry has an extensive knowledge of the history of the Bay Area and shares his expertise generously. He is friendly, kind, and quick to offer to take your group’s photo during a scenic stop! Highly recommend!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour Entrance Fee Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Francisco.
How much does Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour Entrance Fee Included cost?
+
Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Francisco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour Entrance Fee Included take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Francisco is not rushed.
Is Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour Entrance Fee Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in San Francisco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour Entrance Fee Included?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour Entrance Fee Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour Entrance Fee Included?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Francisco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Francisco and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Muir Woods and Sausalito Tour Entrance Fee Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Francisco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Francisco?
+
San Francisco packs Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Napa and the bay into day-trip range, which makes booking order matter more than anywhere else in the US. Alcatraz sells out weeks ahead, wine-country vans fill on weekends, and the best food walks in the Mission and Chinatown cap at a dozen people. Our ranking favours small groups and guides who live in the neighbourhood they walk. On Outty we rank every San Francisco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge Muir Woods Sausalito with Optional Alcatraz, Chinatown, North Beach, Little Italy: 7 Tastings & History. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Francisco?
+
September and October, the city's real summer, once the fog season breaks. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Francisco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
