We were staying in San Francisco for seven days. We wanted to make everyday a challenge. Choosing a day trip to Yosemite was one of them. It took us on early morning at 0620hrs sharp right in front of our Hotel at Powell Street. It was a small group, so we moved on quickly to the Highway. Our tour guide Brian from Best Bay Area Tours gave us an interesting and impressive welcome right from the beginning. Apart from giving us custom made video tape, he also showed us some famous and interesting activities around Yosemite. That swept our sleepiness away instantly.
Brian also gave us very clear and detailed instruction before leaving us to enjoy our tour around at the Yosemite Valley, which we enjoyed very much. Brian kept the timing tight but flexible, giving us autonomy and freedom to enjoy ourselves. That was very important for managing a group activity. Brian had done a very good job in managing that. He spared no time to waste any opportunity in knowing the area, showing patience and knowledgeable in giving us relevant information. His introduction to El Capitan and the Groveland of the Sequoias..etc were informative and easy to understand. We, honestly speaking, did not expect so much from a tour guide. Brian had made everything perfect, showing enthusiasm and devotion to his job. My wife and I really had an excellent time on the day. Thank you Brian.
