Disappointed - I love Muir Woods! We got there safely and had the promised 90 minutes. That's worth 3 stars.
The excursion description says that hotel pickup is provided for certain hotels. One of those hotels was 2 blocks from ours so I chose that as a pickup point, but when I called to confirm I was told abruptly and several times that we had to go to Post (or Fisherman's Wharf). OK, then why offer something different online.
But what really disappointed me was the lack of tour guide. I had read other reviews about how great and knowledgeable their person was. Our driver was also the tour guide which I'm guessing wasn't the original plan. His English was very hard to understand, and he seldom narrated, just basic things and advertisements for different places. He was unable to recognizably say some basic landmark names. I think he did a good job driving, just a lousy job as a narrator

Please return my money - We had a lovely time on this tour of John Muir State Park in California. But this month we booked a tour in Curaçao on the Caribbean cruise. When I realized our ship was not going to be in that port on that day I canceled the day before early morning and now two weeks later still no refund. I thought this was a great company! And they refused to even respond to an email. I guess until I get my $140 I will be reviewing Tripadvisor in numerous places
