Had an amazing time, Yosemite was incredible and made even better by the service provided by Andy and Glenda are our tour guide and driver! Would definitely recommend

honoiuiu

Our guide Andy and our driver Glenda were great. They know how to do their job and seem to love it. The tour gives us a lot to explore with time to spare and/or spend. The vehicle used could be improved by adding some space to store our things on the bus. I also really all the stops we made as every stop was nice and not pricy.

h_nhnguy_nn

He's very knowledgeable, providing lots of info about the history and geography of the area. He's very kind and supportive as well

The one day program to Yosemite was well-thought with enough breaks in between even though I expected it to be quite intensive. There were people of all ages and I think everyone was keeping up just fine :) Our driver Glenda and our tour guide Andy were the jolliest people! Andy always walked us through everything, gave us enough trivia knowledge about California for a lifetime, and were really attentive to our needs. We saw some of the main attractions of Yosemite. Of course, if you have the time, you should spend more time there but if you don’t have time, this tour (leaving from San Francisco) was a good solution!

This was 1 of the the most magical & fun tours I have been on. It was all because of Andy And Glenda.They really made the trip

Susan_W

Loved that we saw so many cra,y beautiful sites and giant Sequoias.Long day but nice. Highly recommend. Sequoia is hilly on way back up, everything else is very walkable.

Jonathan_L

Awesome beauty! Long day so very thankful for Rob, the driver and guide. Shared binoculars as we searched for climbers, loves Yosemite so his enthusiasm is contagios.

Kathy_B

I loved the guide and driver. They were both informative, friendly and went out of their way for us. I also adored the destination - Yosemite is stunning! What I didn't like was the bus. It was uncomfortable, and the section I was in didn't have air conditioning. It was hot and so bumpy that my fitness watch kept congratulating me on the stairs I was climbing.

Wonderful trip that allows you to see all the important points in Yosemite. David was a wonderful guide. You drive to several stops in Yosemite. The only required hiking is to see the redwoods. The bus is very very hot. Plan accordingly and dress in removable layers.
