My partner and I would highly recommend this tour with Best Bay Area Tours. Our tour guide Steven Schwenka was brilliant and from the get go was engaging, funny and very knowledgeable. The long drive was made enjoyable with the documentary/movies played on the way there and way back which were based around Yosemite. Steven was very prompt and organised and had our day planned out perfectly to make it the most memorable experience for all of us. We stopped at all of the main locations as well as a few hidden gems and Steven had all the insider knowledge of how to get the best pictures to capture these amazing memories. My partner and I had the most amazing time at this incredible part of the world which we truely believe was possible due to our tour guide Steven at Best Bay Areas Tour.

Seeing a bear by camp 4 and finally seeing el-cap and the climbers on it was an awesome experience. Brian was a great guide.

At 6 AM at the pickup point, no bus to pick us up. Started calling at 6.30 AM and was informed that we would get a 6.50 AM pick-up. At 7 AM finally, but now we had to wait for guests that didn't show up. After another 3 hotel pickups (and significant waiting time because guests could not be found), we went back to the Hilton to pick up the no-show guest....at 7.30 AM so 1.30 Hrs after the original pickup time. When the chauffeur informed us that, after a 4-hour drive, we would be dropped in Yosemite to spend on our own a whopping 3 hours. No guided tour, no Giant Sequoias. Or, to use his words, no sir I am not doing any trees, only the park, I am not hired to do sequoias. Several other travelers were also shocked, we paid for a guided "tour" and sequoias, not this cheap stuff....we could have taken an uber for that. Shame on you, "Incredible Adventures". I want my money back!!!

You state in your review that you booked with "Incredible Adventures." Therefore this review was posted in error. We are "Best Bay Area Tours." Incredible Adventures is a different company. Had you gone with us, I am sure the experience would have been very different.
