I thoroughly enjoyed our Yosemite In A Day tour and thought that it was an excellent tour given the time constraint of one day- if you are pushed for time this is a great way to get a taste of the park. Yosemite is absolutely breathtaking and is a must-see!
The day consisted of driving to Yosemite (4 hours), 1 hour drive into the park (with a stop for photos), 3.5 hours of free time in Yosemite Valley, 1 hour drive out of the park (including a stop at El Capitan), and then driving back to San Francisco (4 hours).
Our tour guide was really lovely and provided an interesting commentary about the bay area and the park. The bus was also very comfortable with great air-con (it sounds like it was different to the bus mentioned in an earlier review).
I will stress though that because it is a significant drive to Yosemite from San Fran, we only had 3.5 hours of free time in the park. I did manage to see a few highlights including Yosemite Falls, the Visitor Centre, Yosemite Village, El Capitan and Tunnel View throughout the trip, however as soon as we got there I realised just how much there was to see/do and I wish that I had booked a multi-day trip so I could do longer hikes and other activities!
Overall, I thought that Incredible Adventures was an excellent service and I can't see how they could make the tour better given that it is a day trip. I would recommend this tour to people who are only wanting to go for a day and see the highlights of the park.
However if you are wanting to explore more of the park, do longer hikes, kayaking, or other outdoor activities I would recommend booking a longer multiple-day trip. Yosemite is so beautiful and if you are in California I highly recommend visiting!

Thank you so much for your kind words about our Yosemite One Day tour. We do encourage people who really want to experience all that the valley has to offer to stay more than one day, but we're so thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience within the short amount of time. We hope you'll come back and adventure with us again soon!
