Tips for visitors and policy:

Important: Please book your private tour asap, because this destination sells out in advance. We will tailor the program and itinerary to suit your needs, schedule and expectations.
To avoid the crowds and large bus tours in Muir Woods forest of redwoods, we highly recommend starting your tour at 7:30 or 8 am.
The itinerary may change based on the season your time, roads closure or weather conditions but we depart daily rain or shine ( Except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day). When it is rainy or foggy, we may have to skip some areas or places for safety considerations or due to the lack of visibility or road closure. The order of the trip and itinerary will depend on factors like Muir Woods reservation and parking availability, crowds, weather and roads conditions. We may start or end with Muir Woods based on these above factors.
Smoking is not allowed in our vehicles. We are sorry, but our vehicles are not pet friendly and not equipped for passengers with disability or wheelchairs. Thank you for understanding.
Our tours are conducted in English unless otherwise indicated on your tour voucher. Some foreign languages are subject to additional fees to cover the required extra wages of this freelancer or bilingual tour guide’s additional fees (who we may hire to carry out your guided tour, and in your own language).
Wheelchair and handicap accessibility issues: We apologize but our vehicles are not equipped with wheelchair access. There is no room for a wheelchair in our vehicles unless it’s a very small and foldable wheelchair. However, the main concern is the customers’ ability to get it in and out of the vehicles for liability issues. If you have mobility issues, please consider booking one of our other redwood tours that takes you through a redwood forest without even stepping out of the vehicle (like Armstrong Redwoods or Point Reyes combined with Samuel Taylor Redwoods).
Clothing: Please be prepared for cold and warm weather in the same day, fog and breeze, slippery roads and hiking trails, so please have comfortable hiking shoes.

The misconception about private tours: There a misconception about private tours. Yes, public large bus group tours are more cost-effective for the operator, than private tours. In essence, the input cost of private tours and public tours are roughly the same - both provide one driver or a tour guide, one vehicle, same trip length whilst both companies assume the same business expenses and commercial insurance liability. However, private tour operators (like ours) make 90% less profit than public group tours, because all our resources are dedicated to a small group (couples or families), whilst the pubic tour operators make 10 times more profits thanks to the volume(quantity)! We, on the other hand, focus on quality as we never share our private tours with other customers. Yet, although we provide a higher quality tour service, and incur even greater expenses in many cases, the profit margins are limited. This makes some of our private tours barely profitable due to the increasing cost and liability of conducting business in California.
