The tour is well conceived and executed. Best bay area yours and our guide Phil are the best in organising and ensuring that smallest details like bringing a big telescope to view the rock climbers at El Capitan is taken care of. He would wait for the last guy to return patiently..his narrations and selection of songs through the whole day are world class. Onenof my best lifetime tours. I really recommend this to all.

The tour was amazing. We were travelling from the UK and it was the highlight of our trip to the US. Our tour guide Phil was knowledgeable and friendly and it is clear he has a passion for his job and for Yosemite National Park. Phil provided his telescope/binoculars so we could see rock climbers not visible by the naked eye which was a nice touch. We were taken to all of the key locations in the park and Phil would give tips on the best photo spots and trails to follow. It should also be noted that they tailor the tour depending on weather to maximise time in the locations that require the best weather. The park is so beautiful and should we return to San Francisco would book all over again. We were blessed by the weather gods on our visit, as it began snowing just as we left Yosemite, which meant Phil organised the tour perfectly. I also want to give a shout out to Phil's carefuly crafted playlists, which were fab! Definitely recommend this tour to anybody wanting to spend time in Yosemite. As Phil says, you definitely forget the first 4hours on the minibus when you see the breathtaking views and magic of Yosemite. It was worth every second.

Our tour guide, Phil was excellent. He gave us a running commentary on the attractions and their history and he made the day memorable
