We had a great day on this one-day tour, starting with a pick-up at a nearby hotel, and after picking up a few more passengers (this is a small tour group) we were on our way. Our guide Anthony was friendly and knowledgeable and kept us informed of interesting details about the towns and sites we passed on our way to Yosemite. He knew all the best places to stop, walk around and take in the sights, with great photo opps. The views were amazing and we were blessed with great weather (though quite warm that day) that made for wonderful photos. The high point of the day for me was the long walk on a comfortable paved path, down to the great sequoias (20 minutes downhill but 40 minutes up again; we were well warned to take our time, don't overexert because we were at 6000 feet and the thin air can be a challenge for those with any heart or health problems). But walking in the majestic forest and seeing these huge trees including the trunk with the door-sized hole to walk through, was a once in a lifetime experience. The trip back included a stop to spot climbers on El Capitan, and then to keep the trip back interesting, we saw a film on Free Solo climbing, very engaging. All in all a great trip, a very knowledgeable guide who kept us comfortably on schedule; and a small bus that handled bumpy roads pretty well for a small group. A trip not to be missed!
