Looking at the climbers on the wall. The whole trip was great, differently recommend. The guide Victor made it even better.

This tour is amazing and honestly a must for all Yosemite first time visitors. Victor is an amazing knowledgeable tour guide, he makes the long drive from SF to Yosemite fun and pleasant. He is very educated on the subject and strict about safety measures. We couldn't ask for a better tour guide. The tour covers the most important must sees of the Yosemite national park and has a very organized schedule. It covered these areas: ‏Cascada waterfall ‏Tunnel vision ‏Bridalveil waterfall ‏Sentinel Bridge ( half dome view) ‏Lower Yosemite fall ‏Swinging bridge ( Merced River) ‏El Capitan ‏Tuolumne grove It was amazing and hundred percent recommend it specially for tourists!

At the end of the day, a tour has inherent downsides - lack of freedom, delays caused by other guests etc. however this tour was really as good as it could be, mostly due to the amazing guide Victor. He was energetic, funny, friendly and genuine. Just of note - the giant sequoias are not in the sequoia national park so they look a little different (perhaps underwhelming) compared to good images. I would recommend the tour for anyone who doesn’t want to deal with the logistics of hiring a car. 5/5.
