I had the best time on the tour it was everything I hoped and more! Our guide was Don and he was brilliant. Excellent customer service, collected me from my hotel, called me the day before to arrange a time and make sure I knew what was happening. He is so attentive to everyone, always calling us by our first names and making sure we had everything. Don advised us how long it would be between bathroom breaks and opportunities for food. I was a bit concerned that a day trip would be too much but honestly it was so worth it. Other than a bit of time driving through the city in the dark it was such an interesting out through the valley. Don was so knowledgeable and answered all my questions about the valley and what they were growing. Yosemite is obviously stunning and we were lucky to have amazing weather. Don made sure we knew where to look and when. He gave us so much information it was brilliant. We stopped at so many beauty points and had loads of time for photos. Don was also very willing to take photos of us all. We had a great 2 hour break to walk the very accesible paths to more beauty spots. The cafe and toilets and gift shops were all great and clean too. On the way back Don put a great film on for us to watch and again informed us of our rest breaks. Dropping us all back at our hotels. Honestly was the best trip and fantastic value for money!

Our tour guide Brian was wonderful. Although we could not see the Sequoias on our trip due to weather he made sure to include more sites and extra time to explore the park which was wonderful. He also brought equipment to see climbers on El Capitan which was a very cool experience. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to see Yosemite from San Fran!
