Originally, my wife and I weren’t sure about doing a 1-day “drive by” of Yosemite but since we were already so close by in San Francisco, we decided to go for it so we could use future trips on other national parks and this tour absolutely exceeded our expectations! Brian was so communicative before hand making sure to text us individually to confirm a pick-up time and location, answer any questions we had, and snag us exactly when he said he would be there. He played a couple of fun Yosemite themed documentaries for us in the van on the ride up which helped us prepare for entering the park, and made two stops on the way up for snacks, coffee, and some awesome local produce! We went fairly quick once we were inside the park, but Brian really knows his stuff and made sure we hit all the best photo spots and really felt like we saw as much as we could in a short time. I feel good about checking this one off the list even in a one-day trip! Do it. So absolutely worth it!

Yosemite was my favorite but enjoyed all of it! Our guide was excellent in every aspect! He explained all things, gave vital assistance and helped whenever needed! I truly recommend this small group tour!

Fantastic day with an incredibly knowledgable and friendly tour guide. We were taken to all the best parts of the park, given time to explore and get photos! Our tour guide (Brian) was very knowledgable and was able to provide nuggets of information at virtually every part of the park. Overall trip was incredible and would recommend!
