This was the first time we used a tour company when visiting a national park! Our guide/ driver, Richard was wonderful! Because of his knowledge of the park, we beat the grounds to all the main attractions. We were treated to great stories of the history of the park and it’s many colorful characters. It was the first time my husband got to enjoy the scenery and we got pictures of us both! Lunch was delicious and Richard found the perfect spot with the twin falls as the backdrop. This is the only way to see Yosemite!

It all begins and ends with a great tour guide and we had the best. Richard was awesome! Great information, patient giving us time to see things, and gave us great dining recommendations. Got to see all of the main highlights of Yosemite. Lunch was included and was very good (sandwich, chips, cookie, fruit). This is a great way to see Yosemite and not just wander around for hours looking for stuff. Richard showed us little known areas of the park in addition to the main attractions. We booked our tour through Trip Advisor (Viator).

I only had one full day in the park and was so glad that we booked the tour. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable about the park and had great stories - none of which we would have heard had we done the park by ourselves. We had a great lunch made by a local deli - and we ate by a beautiful river in the park. We saw all the highlights - Glacier Point, El Cap, many waterfalls and great views. I usually like to explore on my own - but with limited time, I would highly recommend this tour. Also - we didn't have to deal with any parking issues like all the other tourists did that day. 100% recommend this tour and the company.
