We spent a bit over three weeks travelling across The States and this was by far the highlight of our trip..... The small group arrangement was fantastic it made it feel a lot more personal which for me added to the experience. It also meant we could stop and start easily and add to the itinerary as there was less people to organise. We had absolutely amazing weather. Brian our tour guide was unbelieveable. He was super knowledgeable, engaging and worked with the group in planning the day. We were travelling with 3 children and he kept them engaged also and tailored stops to meet them also. The trip is long but totally worth it and the documentaries, videos and information shared along the way kept us engaged as well as the many stops we got to make throughout the park. Don't look any further this is the Yosemite tour you should do!

I spent a bit over three weeks travelling across The States and this was by far the highlight of my trip..... better than the Grand Canyon, New York City, Golden Gate/ Alcatraz etc. The small group arrangement was fantastic - by the end of the day i knew the names of everyone else on the trip - so much better than just being part of a big group on a coach. It made it feel a lot more personal which for me added to the experience. It also added to the flexibility of what we did as we could discuss destination and duration options with our tour guide and essentially determine our own day to a degree. Got blessed with the weather as I went in early to mid January. They had received a fairly big dumping of snow three weeks prior. On the day we went it was about 8 degrees Celsius with clear sunny skies but there was still snow lying around and on the peaks which made for perfect photos. We had Phil as our driver and guide and he was great!

Went on the small group tour and had a blast. Our guide Phil Siegel was fantastic! Made the trip go by fast and made sure everyone was comfortable and took pictures for us. He’s also very informative. Only thing I was hoping to see were the giant sequoias at the end of the day but understand we had to skip it for safety reasons. I recommend this tour for anyone who doesn’t want to drive up there from SF so much easier and convenient. Plus beautiful views on the way there.
