Would give it 10 stars if I could. The trip was long, but well worth it, as the Park was the highlight of our vacation. Yosemite is beautiful beyond description, and our driver and guide, Phil, was phenomenal. He made sure saw all the iconic sites, and ensured we were able to take the best photos. The Park is amazing! He also shared his own binoculars and telescopes so we could see climbers with a death wish on El Capitan. Throughout the trip he shared his extensive knowledge about the history of the area during, to, and from the Park. His playlist was exceptionally good! Make the time to take this trip; you will always remember it.

The tour was great! Beautiful nature! Especially in winter is really cool! Just a shame we couldn't see the Sequioas... The 2 hours of free time was a bit short. Would have liked longer, but is was a great trip nonetheless!

Brian was a fantastic tour guide! He texted me the night before to confirm the pickup details and made sure that would work for us. He texted when he was a few minutes away and arrived on time so we didn’t have to wait outside. Brian was funny and friendly and knew a lot about Yosemite. He showed us interesting Yosemite videos and pictures on the way up. He was considerate and made maps for all of us (14 people), he came equipped with binoculars and telescopes to see the climbers on El Capitan and he made sure everyone got pictures and bathroom breaks. And, one of the most important things was that he is one of the best drivers I have ever seen! I am completely terrified of heights and roads that have cliffs on either side without guard rails so I couldn’t have asked for a better driver. His highway driving was amazing too. I wish he was a tour guide at all of the National Parks!
