Driver arrived on time and was good tour driver, very conscious of safety and parking. Since most of the time is spent in the van, traveling, he could do better in explaining history of the Park, its geologic formations, climate and weather influences, flora and fauna, and maybe more about the context of the Park in CA and US history. Our party of 5 included a middle aged father, mother who spoke little English, fluent in Arabic and a son who spoke English for them. They were from Lebanon.
My elderly mother and I just took this tour yesterday and had an EXCELLENT time! Mickey, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took his time at all the stops to explain as well as patient as my mother walks much slower due to her age. We had a very memorable experience!
Richard was great! He was very knowledgeable. I had never been to Yosemite and I felt like he showed us all the highlights and more. I would have liked to spend less time at the covered bridge and more time at the Bridalvail falls or Tunnelview. Aside from that we were very pleased with the tour and especially with Richard. Our group was only 7 people which was wonderful. We had about 1.5 hours at lunch to do some exploring on our own which was also a very nice use of the time. Much thanks!
