Absolutely fantastic, our guide Brian was amazing, getting us to all the great spots without having to deal with the queues

There is, or course, more to Yosemite than you can possibly see in one day. But if you only have that one day, to me, this is the perfect choice. Admittedly, we were lucky with the weather, but the photographs we took are breathtaking. Our tour guide added to that experience by providing a very nice introduction during the journey in (and on the journey out), and offered a (for me) totally new perspective on Yosemite. Yes, bears; Coyote, check, but did you know about - climbing? And this is why I travel. To get a new perspective. (Thanks a mill for that, Brian - Very well done, indeed! Truely appreciated.) And yes, we also saw a lot of cuddly wildlife; Squirrels, chipmunks, birds and more. The girls were delighted. Overall the tour was well worth getting up early and getting back late. A true highlight (still deciding - but maybe, actually, "the" highlight) of a seven day San Francisco trip. Thanks, guys!

It's difficult to do a place like Yosemite in one day, however if that's all the time you have this tour is spot on. Our guide Phil was both informative and entertaining which made the long drive fly by. Stopping off at the must see sights like Tunnel View and El Capitan, I never felt too rushed for time even though time was limited - all the while learning about the park, its history and more between stops. The itinerary is well laid out and very well optimised. In retrospect I could've stayed forever so maybe an overnighter would've been better, but given my limited time in San Francisco this was the next best thing. Well done Best Bay Area Tours!
