Highly recommended tour if you love the outdoors. We were picked up on time from our hotel early morning by our tour guide and driver. Is a long drive from San Francisco to Yosemite but we stopped by a local grocery store to buy coffee, snacks and stretch our legs. Our tour guide, Brian, is very communicative and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was extraordinary. During the road trip to Yosemite he shared pictures and videos from recent visits to the park to kind off get us ready for what we were going to see at the park. We arrived early at the gate and access went quickly. We hit a couple of cool places for pictures like bridalveil waterfalls and other. We stopped right on the base of El Capitan to try to spot rock climbers. They are hard to find but our tour guide was prepared with binoculars and spotting scopes. We had time to explore the park and rent bikes. We spotted a black bear on the other side of the river. In the afternoon we visited a 1 mile trail to enjoy the giant sequoias.

What an amazing experience we just had from start to finish. Our tour guide Brian had great communication with us the day before our trip. Had hotel front door pick up, was punctual, and exhibited a wealth of knowledge which enriched the experience. Brian knew where all the great photo opp spots were as my wife and I were astonished by the beauty Yosemite had to offer. We would 100% recommend this tour. I cant say enough great things about Brian, as he made this experience much more amazing, great attitude, charismatic, and just a pleasurable tour guide.
