My best friend, Erin and I travelled to San Francisco for 5 days and going to Yosemite on this small group tour was our absolute favorite day!!! Our guide, Brian, was extremely energetic and knowledgeable. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel, we could tell that he truly loves what he does and that he enjoys sharing the beauty of Yosemite with others! We got picked up at roughly 6am and got back to our hotel about 10pm that night. While it was a long day, every moment was incredibly enjoyable - from the bus ride accompanied with informational videos about Yosemite and great music, to getting to see several beautiful areas of the park we would have never been able to see on our own without this tour... this is the perfect day trip if you only have one day to spend at Yosemite! We were able to get out of the bus several times to see key areas of Yosemite and were able to hike around twice on our own - each time for roughly 2 hours. Of course, specific timing provided for hiking may vary depending on how long it takes to get to Yosemite and the length of the line getting into the park - the line was very short on our tour date. We also witnessed climbers climbing up El Capitan, which was so cool! Brian had plenty of binoculars and telescopes for our group to utilize. If you’re debating whether to book this day trip, do it! You will not be disappointed!

I went with Bryan and let me tell you... it was freaking amazing!!! Lots of energy, and everybody learnt a lot. It was a beautiful day, no queues, and the fact that he had telescopes for us to spot the climbers in El Capitan was marvellous... Great energy, great tour... Highly recommended Thanks Bryan!, you have done great! Carlos
