I was in the bay area for work and only had a day for personal travel. This tour helped me check off Yosemite from my list and I'm so glad I did it! It's a really well planned out tour with amazing views, many bathroom breaks and handy tips especially if you're short on time and don't want to drive. Our guide Brian was kind, knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the long day. Highly recommend it - don't hesitate and just go for it!

Fantastic trip, had our 4 kids entertained on the 5hr out perfect length stops on the drive for food and snacks. Great information video to pass the time and get excited about where we were going. Good amount of time given to explore and good guidance to get the most out of the trip. All around fantastic way to see Yosemite. Thanks!

It makes for a long day, but very much worth it. Amazing sights to see all day long. Learned a lot about the history of rock climbing on the bus. Kurt was very knowledgable and a great tour guide for our trip. I highly recommend this tour if it is your 1st time going to Yosemite.

Our guide Alberto was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. We didn't have to find our way around the city. He provided us with a lot of insight into the history of the park. The trip down to the Sequoia trees was extremely taxing but worth the effort. Unless you're in good health I wouldn't advise making the hike. This is our second trip using Viator and both have been outstanding.

Phil our driver and tour leader gave us a fabulous day, with great photo opportunities, tips, and information. Be aware that this trip is advertised through Viator as wheelchair accessible but there is no proper provision for wheelchairs in the van. Phil made the best of the situation and was very helpful

Alberto was the best tour guide I've ever had in any US national park. He managed the timing of our pick-up and the entire day's schedule perfectly. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a taste of true adventure in Yosemite. You won't regret it. The itinerary included all the best spots to witness the park's stunning scenery. If you're hesitant about booking this tour, don't be. This trip offers an experience many might never get to have, immersing you in nature's beauty. Plus, Alberto’s guiding style, reminiscent of Mr. Gru from Universal Pictures, made us feel like minions on the bus. If you want to see Yosemite in a day with the best guide and enjoy a fun bus ride with documentaries and movies about the park, this is the tour for you.

It was a long day - leaving San Fran early and getting back 8pmish, however there were lots of stops along the way and interesting things to do and see, I thought the day was excellent

Patricia_O

My husband and I had an amazing time and highly recommend visiting Yosemite at least once. Our guide, Steven was awesome and made the experience very enjoyable with his knowledge and positive attitude.

Couldn’t put this trip in any other words but perfectly amazing and very organized ! Calder by far was knowledgeable, accommodating, patient, and most importantly an awesome driver ! Views were breathtaking and definitely would recommend to anyone! We couldn’t have planned a better day at Yosemite! Don’t hesitate to purchase this tour.

Best experience! Great planning for a day tour and calder was excellent at what he does and very hospitable. Never felt like tour was getting rushed, in fact he gave us some extra time to enjoy as everyone was okay with it and had no time limitations. Definitely would recommend who would want to experience so much in a day planning.
