We were wondering how much we would be able to see and explore in Yosemite on this 14-hour day trip, but this tour was well worth it and the best part of our vacation! Our tour guide, Brian, was so informative and gave us the best advice to make our stops and exploration time jam-packed with exciting views, hikes (that were mapped out to the minute), and experiences. We viewed climbers on El Capitan, hiked through the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias, tasted fresh almonds and strawberries from the area, and ate lunch by lower Yosemite Falls. The drive to and from San Francisco went quickly because he showed us interesting documentaries and captivating pictures from previous trips. We learned a lot and hope to return to Yosemite in another season.

The operator does not acknowledge the risks associated with CoVID. Book at your own risk as it could prove to be costly to either your health or wallet if you try to cancel.

DId you speak with the driver about being uncomfortable? Did you call the office so we could resolve the issue? We have a very easy cancellation policy regarding COVID, so obviously never contacted us regarding a cancellation. If you had just communicated with us, we would have professionally resolved the issue, rather than having to respond to a nasty one-star review. By the way, did you enjoy the tour?

The giant sequoias trees were breath taking. Like walking into paradise. God gifts are beautiful especially the waterfall. The tour guide was exceptional. Thank you Brian!
