Wonderful Half Day Trip

My trip to Muir Woods and Sausalito was 1:15 pm. The tour guide Sam was on time, personable, and had great information about the Bay area and the designated stops. I contacted the tour company to confirm the pickup location, the service rep was very pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this trip, but bring something to eat. The visitor's shop at Muir Woods is expensive, but there are places outside of the actual tree groves to sit and eat if you pack a lunch, which can be left in the van. The stop in Sausalito goes by quickly, and the shops close early, so there may not be time to grab food. It was really chilly/windy in downtown San Francisco, but the weather at the park was pleasant. I'm not sure if this is typical, but something to consider as I was a bit over dressed for the hike. Also, I had a late flight, so I stored my luggage with an online service. You can search. I can not provide the link, b/c it will appear that I'm promoting the service vs. providing useful information that took me some research to figure out. It was easy, reasonable, and only a few blocks from the pickup location for the trip. The company apparently has designated storage partners throughout the city. The reviews were mixed, so the caveat is to be comfortable with the storage partner. Again, the trip was great, the van was clean, and the tour guide talked just enough, but not continuously, gave time to ask questions and take in the views. For anyone traveling solo, I suggest taking the offer of the front seat, best view ever!
