Extremely poor communication. Does not respond to messages here or by voicemail. Had to preemptively cancel the tour due to weather concerns and no response from the tour operator. Too late to cancel room and the may cost me $200 without even staying in the room. Tour operator should reimburse me.

Your tour is on December 5th. Not sure why you already cancelled it. You have not even called our office phone number.

I just had one day available to visit Yosemite and the tour allowed me to have an excellent experience. The tour was great from pick-up to drop-off at my hotel. Rose, the tour guide, was super knowledgeable about Yosemite. I would recommend it.
