This was a bucket list experience for us being from the UK and having a huge love of the US and especially wanting to experience the national parks, and it didn’t disappoint at all!
We absolutely loved this tour, and somehow even with mediocre weather we managed to get amazing pics, dodge the bad rain and see all the sights from around the park. It was a long day but so worth it and went so quickly!
Phil was knowledgeable about EVERYTHING from San Fran, to central valley, to the park itself and from the moment we were picked up, to the moment we got dropped off 14 hours later he was enthusiastic, full of smiles and providing lots of information (and genius playlists timed to the weather and areas which we very much enjoyed). We also appreciated the movie on the way back which helped pass the long journey home quicker and gave context to the El Capital Dawn wall we’d just witnessed. There was a slight mishap on the way there, with our first van not sounding healthy but both Phil and Brian who rescued us, handled it quickly, professionally and ensured the delay didn’t impact our experience or day.
There was also an older gentleman on our trip with mobility issues, and whilst we were fit and able to experience the tour to the fullest we appreciated seeing how he was accommodated for, not excluded, and he still got to attend and see each sight in the park even if he wasn’t able to walk closer to the various landmarks, by Phil driving us as close as possible.
Highly recommend and this tour is a great way to see the sights of the park in a single day, without the hassle of driving and planning yourself.
