The weather was beautiful and the area was very clean and I felt the time allotted was sufficient. But I was told I could bring my dog if it was a service dog but was not allowed once I got to the Muir location. It needs to be explained in more detail what type of service dogs are allowed. I had to leave my do with the tour guide on the bus. The tour guide was very nice and helpful

Sorry to hear about your experience. For readers of your review, allow me to clarify. Extranomical is fine with either service dogs or emotional support animals on our tours. The national park in Muir Woods, however, does not allow "emotional support animals" in the park to avoid incidents. We will try to make that more clear on our website. Thanks for the review!

I booked a Muir Woods/Sausalito tour with Extranomical tours because it appeared to be a smaller tour, not a large tour bus. A day or two before the tour I got an email saying we would be on a Gray Line bus, their sister company. I specifically did not want a large bus. In the end, it turned out fine because the Gray Line bus driver, Joe (I think) did a good job. Muir Woods is absolutely beautiful so I’m glad we went. You can just about see the basics in 1 1/2 hours but another 30 min would be better. We found a great bistro for lunch that I highly recommend. I took off 2 stars for the tour company not being honest and upfront.

We wish our guests could spend more time in Muir Woods but this national park has a limit of 90 minutes so that as many people as possible can enjoy the impressive Coastal Redwood trees. Glad you had a good day end the end. All the best!

Walking between the trees. Great driver. He knew a lot of details of area. Negative was initial fellow that handed out tickets. Also confusion of where I was supposed to be picked up.
