The place is stunning and the visit is totally worthy. Our drive was such a nice person and he really knew the place and pointed us the best spots. We were allowed to hike at some specific time schedules and places and at others we just took some pictures. It's a 4 hour drive to get to Yosemite and the tour is a little bit exaustive, but totally worth if you only have one free day for visitating the park. I was picked up in a hotel close to my accommodation in the time scheduled.

I've never really done a tour before, but really enjoyed it! The driver was super knowledgeable and went over various facts and then played music when he wasn't talking. The stops were great and we got lots of good photos! They also stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner :) I liked that it was a smaller bus (15 people) so that helped it not feel too crowded, and we weren't stuck waiting forever for everyone to get back to the bus :)

I really liked this tour. We were a small group (13 people) and that really helped minimize travel time to reach Yosemite and come back to San Francisco - we did not have to wait for over 50 people to get out of the bus and get on the bus each time as it happens for bigger tours. The guide/driver was excellent, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to travel with. We managed to see the main attractions of the park (waterfalls, Yosemite valley, panoramic overlooks, El Capitan, big sequoias) and do a couple of hikes. I would most definitely recommend this tour for travellers who want to visit Yosemite but do not have much time or are travelling by themselves and do not want to rent a car and drive all day.
