Great tour, great guide. Super informative. Funny. Long day that the driver (can’t rememeber his name but he was an owner ) made even better with funny song playlists and stories. I never realized How different each tour company could be until this one was so great after having a bad one the day before. But this one was well worth the money

This whole experience was wonderful and great. The itinerary says pickup time is at 06:00 AM but the driver/guide (Don Stace) will call you the day before and request to pick you up earlier at 04:35 AM. I know, for some people it's hard to wake up that early (including myself) but early birds wouldn't mind, but it's totally worth it going that early because it saves you from the long waiting traffic to enter Yosemite Park. In fact, we didn't face much traffic during our entire journey. Now our best driver/tourist guide (Don Stace), so far from my experience traveling to different states and using tour guides, Don was the far best from all of it. I loved his kindness, friendliness, and knowledge about the Tour. He is very knowledgeable and knows a lot about all the Entry stops. He was very pleasant the entire tour. He is not like the other drivers who rush you for everything. He offers to take pictures and help us to take couples and family pictures. His photo skills are greats, every single picture he took was just perfect. He will provide us with extra history during our journey about the areas we pass by and I have to say about Don's passion towards the guide he was providing, he was really into it and his explanation about the history of certain places. I have never seen any other driver provide that much information. He really loves, what he is doing. I would 100% recommend this tour guide (Don Stace). I will 100% recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit Yosemite and Giant Sequoias.

Saw more of park than would be able to do on your own. No stress, the driving, tickets, parking all taken care of. Multiple stops for pictures, get out on valley floor to explore, hike down to sequoias. Great way to see as much of park as you can in a day with no stress.
