Went to San Francisco on vacation, after a long lockdown due to the Pandemic, and I have to say that this was the highlight of our trip!! Brian was excellent, friendly, super accommodating and very attentive. We were elated not only with Yosemite and the great Sequoias, (which by the way it was a great and beautiful hike, but wear appropriate attire to enjoy the experience). Brian was amazing with his great narration, documentaries of the rock climbers and sharing experiences. This was truly a great personalized tour! Highly recommended and thank you Brian for making this a memorable experience! You rock!

Best Bay Area Tours was THE BEST DECISION ever to experience on one day Yosemite. The small group tour has many advantages than a crowded one, as we had access to places that big busses can’t. Philip, our tour guide, was EXCELLENT! He had great knowledge of the park, took us to all the great spots it has to offer and made our visit a one that we will never forget. I recommend Best Bay Area Tours as the way to go if you want to have a unique and fantastic time visiting Yosemite.

It’s great tour and tour guide. But just one thing, there is tip. I’m happy to give tip after tour but you would better to delete ‘no tips’ on website tour information which makes misunderstanding. Other than that, it was really nice.

We are not sure what are you referring to when you say it says “no tip” on the website. There is no mention that we could find. Tipping is customary in United States, but not required. We hope that the tour is memorable enough and that you appreciate the guide coordinating a day you’ll never forget and you will show him/her your appreciation, but it is totally up to you. We are glad you enjoyed you day.
