“A bit of a drive, and Sausalito was rushed. Otherwise, it was great. Muir Woods was closed, so we visited Armstrong State Park instead. Which was more than double the time in the bus. Our Irish driver was delightful, professional, and expert. Loved his shared knowledge.”

“Everything went great. Our driver was pleasant, we made some great photo stops along the way. He warned us about not having cell service in Muir Woods and the surrounding area. I do wish we had more time at MW, but if er why it has to be somewhat short when it’s a half-day trip.…”
