The sequoia hike was my favorite part of the trip,and the bus driver Gino was great, he was an excellent driver, However, this company desperately needs to update their buses! Our bus reminded me of a school bus, very bumpy ride! . I was at the last pick up, so had no choice but to sit in the very back on the bench seat. My seat had no air vent. (other seats had air). And I had severe motion sickness due to the winedy roads. If I were to do another bus tour in the future, I will make sure it is a newer coach bus. Overall would recommend you research other options.
