Went on the small group Yosemite tour yesterday sponsored by Best Bay tours. Our tour guide Brian was fantastic! Because it was a Saturday Brian suggested we start even earlier than the usual starting time. Great suggestion. We beat all the crowds and that helps to get good pics. Speaking of pics, they will be stunning, because Brian knew all the money shot spots. He also was thoughtful to all our needs. He made sure we had plenty of cold drinks, had lots of videos of the park and rock climbing and took a personal interest in the 12 travelers. I got video of a momma bear and her two cubs during our free time that he will share with future travelers. It is an extremely long day but when you see the pictures you take you will be thankful you went.

We started early from SF. It was a wonderful experience, thanks to our kind and excellent tour guide. It was early November (November 4 2018) when we got there. The fall color was just amazing.

My daughter and I really enjoyed our trip to Yosemite 7-8-21 with Alberto. There was plenty of stops for restroom breaks and it was a beautiful drive to the park and our guide had a wealth of knowledge about the area. Ok, honestly, Im not a group tour kind of person, but this was a small group of very nice people. I was hesitant to book this trip, but Im so glad I did. It is very nice to just relax and let someone worry about driving, navigating sights. There is plenty of photo ops, freetime to hike around Yosemite falls, a gift shop and a hike to the giant Sequoias. The park is beautiful and worth every penny to see it. Book the trip! Also, the road up and down through the Sierra Nevadas can induce motion sickness. If you feel this can pose an issue, take Dramamine prior.
