The Sept 1 trip was a long day starting at 5:30AM and returning 7:00PM. I've been on many guided tours throughout the world. This tour to capture the essence of Yosemite National Park was spectacular. In some cases, the tour guide can make or break a tour. In this case, Snowshoe John made the tour a huge success. SJ was informative, provided great time management, and made the group as comfortable as possible during a long touring day. Obviously Yosemite speaks for itself, as you hit most of the key scenic points in the park to experience the wilderness with a sense of peace and humility. I would recommend, if you can, to visit the park in late May, June, or early July for the full blown display of waterfalls throughout the park. The coach bus accommodations were very good, clean with high ceiling and open air windows - a plus during these Covid-19 times. This is a must-do if you are visiting Lake Tahoe for an extended period of time. Enjoy!
