Really great experience! Brian was amazing and we got to see a lot of spots in Yosemite, El Capitan, séquoias, mirror lake, etc. He stopped at several scenic spots and we got great pictures! (If you are prone to carsickness be prepared it’s a lot of windy roads. ) He gave a nice amount of free time to explore. It’s a long day but totally worth it!!

Excellent tour from start to finish. Our guide was informative and enthusiastic! He even made the morning drive out enjoyable with an excellent playlist! Yosemite was breathtaking. We had multiple stops and never once felt rushed. If you only have one day to spend in the park, this is the trip for you!

My husband and I visited San Francisco and took the Small Group Yosemite Day Trip in September. This was a wonderful experience! Being from Iowa, we don’t get to see the mountains very often. So since we were going to be so close to Yosemite, we could not pass it up. Half Dome, El Capitan, and the sequoias were truly amazing sites to see! It was a full day as we started out before 6:00 a.m. and arrived back home around 8:00 p.m. But it was definitely a day well spent! Having a smaller tour group meant that we had more individualized attention from our tour guide. Our tour guide was the best! Don shared with us a lot of information about the area on the drive to Yosemite, and was able to give us more than the basic information about the sites we saw in the park. We stopped on the way to Yosemite so that we could buy breakfast and lunch for the day. My hubs and I actually bought a big enough sandwich at the deli to accommodate us at dinner as well. Don had coolers with him and cold water and we were well cared for. This experience cost more than we typically spend for a day tour, but we have no regrets. I’ve always wanted to see Yosemite and I am so pleased with Don and this tour company. Highly recommended!
