This was a day trip to Yosemite from San Francisco. We had a great time with a great tour guide named Steven. Knowledgeable and friendly, he took us to see the highlights. Very organized and well done, especially considering the fact that it was a day trip. We were able to see quite a bit and we were totally satisfied that we got to see what we came to see.

Arrived the day before from England so a very early start but safe to say every minute was worth it. We were picked up on time at 5:45 by our guide who straight away provided us with water and made sure we were comfortable We were given the opportunity to rest and relax on the coach and after roughly 1.5 hours had a stop at a shop where we could get drinks/picnic etc. We then carried on up the mountains which was extremely scenic and a film was played about Yosemite’s past; it gave us an amazing insight about the climbers there and passed the time which was great. Once we arrived we had regular stops all around the park and was also given two hours for lunch and to explore the stunning park, it’s safe to say every single spot seemed to get even more stunning than the last! while we did not visit in waterfall season the park with all the autumn colours was breathtaking and im sure i’ll remember the views forever. The giant sequoia forest was also incredible although the walk was a-bit tiring but was worth it for the amazing photo shots of the trees! While driving back to SF from Yosemite, we stopped again in a really cute shop which organic food (i recommend the chocolate almonds which grow in California and the strawberries) and had a pumpkin patch which was quite a sight to see since there is nothing like it in the UK Driving back to SF over the bridge was amazing and although we were tired, the entire day was perfect from start to finish. Steven really made the trip perfect and I can’t think him enough for how amazing he made the trip!

We had a great day; Phil was fun and had a lot of information to share. The long ride went fast and the park was beautiful.
