Thanks to our amazing, brilliant and well informed/resourced driver Phil, we got to see everything that was advertised for this trip… It was a perfect day (11/8/21) to see all the sites (rocks, waterfalls, sequoias, streams, rivers and such beautiful landscapes plus bonus rock climbers). Small group tour was a great idea.. there were many advantages to that. Overall this trip was an A+ Thanks Phil for sharing so much information about the Bay Area and the Yosemite Valley with us.

This tour to Yosemite was absolutely incredible. The tour began when we were picked up in a clean Mercedes Sprinter. Because it was a small group, there were only a few stops for picking up the others, and we were quickly on our way. The drive was comfortable. We quickly learned that Brian was a Yosemite expert, having lived in the park for several years, and with about eight years providing tours. He knew all the ins and outs, and took us to the best viewing points, restrooms, and short trails. We truly benefitted from his efficiencies and expertise and definitely maximized the day. Brian also brought along binoculars and special telescope lenses on tripods so we could see El Capitan and the climbers up close. He gave us space during our stops, but yet was available to take pictures of us using our cameras for us. Brian was accommodating, kind, funny, knowledgeable and endearing. His driving was flawless. We had a perfect day and I wish we could do it over and over again. We are glad to HIGHLY recommend Best Bay Area Tours.
