I had an absolute blast on the tour with our Andy Howse and the driver (Nicaraguan chap) and David on my drive back, Not only did they keep us laughing the whole time with their witty humor, but their knowledge of the area was incredibly impressive. They made history come alive with their stories and anecdotes, turning what could have been a dull tour into a memorable experience. I highly recommend booking a tour with them if you want to learn and laugh at the same time

Not very pleasant tour. The driver( Gino) was all the time eating and drinking and interacting with phone apps while driving. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Rob was the best tour guy ever an absolute legend and made me fall in love with San Francisco! Highly recommended!

FarAway14532527113

Not really the sight seeing kinda guy tbh, but got dragged along by the wife who has visiting Yosemite as one of her bucket lists. Overall I am satisfied with the tour and very impressed with our tour guide Rob, who is a walking encyclopedia of anything SF. He did his best to keep us entertained with humourous commentary on the long rides to and fro Yosemite. We are knackered by the time we reached our hotel, but Rob's energy and enthusiasm didn't fade a bit since the start of the tour. Thanks for the memorable trip guys!

Rob was a very fun guide! He added a personal touch to the tour and made the experience very unique. Best of luck, Rob!

Traveled with spouse on Viator bus tour from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park. We stayed for several nights ( which we would recommend because there is so much to see and unable to do in a one day trip). We were fortunate to see Horse Tail Falls— Fire Fall. Conditions were perfect— from the “True Minnesotans”

Great tour! Lots of stops on the way to sightsee and pickup food & our guide had lots of great information, we really enjoyed it, thanks so much!

Ross was a very knowledgable and friendly tour guide who made the journey fun and interactive! The bus was on time and comfortable. We had the chance to see lots of unique and interesting spots, including seeing the giant sequoias and a view of the valley. Very happy with Ross and the tour itself, would recommend!
