Great trip!!! It was a really long day but as Phil said at the start “ you won’t remember the drive out or the drive back, all you will remember is your time at Yosemite, and these memories will stay with you for the rest of your life”. He was spot on!! Phil also made the day even more special by helping us to really understand the size and scale of El Capitan, and the story of ‘Free Solo’, totally inspiring. Thanks Phil for an amazing experience!

It was an amazing tour beyond expectations! First of all, the van was comfortable. Small group of 15 people, and we had plenty of time to make stops on the way for restrooms; Second, our guide Phil really did a good job. From the music playlist to the guide, we got to know more stories about San Francisco and Yosemite; last but not least, the view was spectacular! Highly recommended to everyone!

Steven our tour guide was very knowledgeable, passionate and fabulous in showing us the best places to capture very beautiful pictures. It was like winter wonderland experience (the waterfalls, mountains). it was an amazing experience that I highly recommend Best Bay Area Tours. we were fortune to do the Tuolumne Grove Trailhead hike to see the Giant Sequoias. I highly recommend wearing microspikes for the shoes and sweaters/clothing layers for hike because the snow was very cold and slippery in some places on the trailhead but doable and fun experience. we were picked up on time @ 545am from our hotel at marriott fisherman's wharf and returned back at 8pm. During the drive we saw beautiful scenery and watched movies about the history of yosemite valley, stopped at Raley's for bathroom/snack break in Oakdale. we ate lunch at yosemite lodge cafe (chicken fingers-fries was good). It was a eventful fun memorable experience. The price of the tour is worth the experience.
