Could never have gotten to see Yosemite in the one day we had without this tour! Mic took us to all the highlights and to some little known spots and explained the history and geology along the way. It was perfect!

The organizer failed to respond to our messages asking for crucial information regarding a fire that erupted in Yosemite park the previous evening from the tour day, which forced us to leave the area, since there was an evacuation order from the authorities. While on the tour day we asked him again for information about any change of plans, since on our attempt to reach the meeting point the authorities turned us back , his only response was after the tour that told us that he was waiting for us for half an hour but we did not show. All in all, communication in such critical situations is a number one priority, in which the organizer failed completely,

As long as the park remains open we conduct the tours. You are responsible to arrive at the designated location. Imagine you showing up and we didn't show up for the tour and you will be unhappy that you came so far and we didn't take you on the tour.

Great trip to a great location. Our guide Julie was brilliant - local girl with local knowledge. Some parts of the park where closed off due to recent forest fires meaning not all of the itinerary could be achieved. However Julie had plenty of other areas for us to visit which we probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Pick up was on time, comfortable coach - straight into the park no problems. We could’ve driven and followed the Valley route like anyone else. But having someone else do all that and provide a great back story on Yosemite? - no brainer for me. I’ve seen some negative reviews and I’m sure those people had their reasons. But not from me on this occasion. Couldn’t fault the day overall.
