Ruined my vacation. I want refund

Amazing adventure!

Awesome trip! The guide was so personable and the information was amazing. It wasn't just a tour of Muir Woods.... the entire ride out there we got a running commentary on San Francisco and everything we passed.
The woods were beautiful.
Note: This is NOT a big bus. That is the name of the company. It's a small 18 person van.
Note 2: the location of the pickup is a completely different place. You need to go to the Big Bus office and get the ride there. This needs to be updated in the description of the trip.

Our driver Lester was very amusing and had good information. The drive was rainy and the King Tides were high so our driver had to detour but he made us feel comfortable because of his positive attitude. I would definitely recommend using this tour company to Muir Woods.
