Mary was excellent. Her passion for the park and the area was a real plus. We had lunch at the famous formerly Ahwanee Hotel on the patio.
Yosemite National Park is just amazing - we had a great day and met some lovely people. Cathy from Crossroad Tours was very informative and a lot of fun. She does need a microphone tho - it was a very hot day and so she turned the air conditioner on in the bus for us but then it was very hard to hear what she was saying.
We absolutely enjoyed our tour on 10 June 2017!! Mic was an extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide - and very safe driver! We were picked up at our Fresno hotel on time at 5:30am and returned for the tour about 4:30pm. We enjoyed the company of 2 other couples in the large GMC SUV. The day was BEAUTIFUL with temps varying from upper 50's to 70's. By the time we stopped to pick up food and other people, we got into the park around 7:30am. LOVED the fact that I wasn't driving and could actually enjoy the views all day instead of looking at rear bumpers. I lost count, but estimate we stopped at about 15-20 scenic spots along the way. Did a little bit of walking at the Bridal Veil Falls and the Yosemite Falls on the trails to actually get close and a little damp from water spray. Several stops throughout Yosemite Valley to see the falls, rock climbers, and historic hotel. The lunch provided was GREAT, I had the Dagwood sandwich - delicious! Ate at picnic tables in the valley. Did not see any bears. Stopped at a fresh water spring, which I will say was the best tasting water I have ever had! By about 1:00pm, we headed up elevation to Glacier Point road was open. Understand why this was the last stop - what a beautiful view of Half Dome and the Sierra Nevada. If you only have 1 day to see Yosemite, don't want to fight traffic for parking, or spend hours trying to figure out where to go and what to see and just want a relaxing day to take in the beauty - I highly recommend this tour!! My wife and I really enjoyed it!!
