John was an excellent tour guide. We loved hearing about historical facts while visiting the sites. I would definitely recommend this tour. They should have tours like this in every state.

We were taking the family to San Francisco for a week and wanted to see as much as we could see of the SF area and surrounding sights. We were told by many that we must make time for Yosemite, however our schedule did not allow for a lot of time for this. We found Golden Horizon and contacted them about their Yosemite 1 day Private SUV Tour. We went ahead and booked it and we WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. Leo was our guide / expert. He picked us up in San Francisco, took us out to Yosemite, made sure we stopped to get a lunch a great deli for a picnic later, and entertained the family for the entire 4+ hour drive with knowledge, history and stories of Yosemite and other adventures. We reviewed other tours which would pick you up and "drop you off for 3 hours" for half of the cost of this tour. SO GLAD we didn't do that. Leo made sure that in four hours, we saw almost everything possible to see up to and including some short hikes to some amazing scenery. My wife is an avid photographer and Leo was very knowledgable about photography as well as everything at Yosemite and he helped her with making sure to maximize the trip. Our kids, my wife and I can now all cross yosemite off of the bucket list. What an amazing natural treasure. As Leo mentioned, we were there at the best time of the year. Mid June = all of the passes are open, but all the snow is still melting which means all of the waterfalls, rivers and streams are at full force. Simply stunning. Thanks to the customer support team for setting us up at the last moment (extraordinarily friendly) as well as Leo for a phenomenal experience. Absolutely would recommend. -Brett

I'm a country girl from Virginia, and was nervous booking with Golden Horizon Tours. I booked the 1/2 day San Francisco tour including tickets to Alcatraz. That morning, Mary met my husband and I in the lobby of our hotel. She was already waiting for us when we came out of the elevator a little early! Picked us up in a spotlessly clean black suburban. We toured the city in style, so thankful Mary is a great driver because I would have hated for my husband to have to maneuver through that madness! By the time the tour was over we had learned so much history we would have never learned on our own. Mary is a local, and her stories really added to the tour. Before she left us at the ferry to Alcatraz she gave us our tickets along with a wealth of information to help us finish our trip successfully. We missed her and talked about her for the rest of our trip!
