An amazing day, albeit long but expected with so much to see and experience, was incredible and worth it - ticked off bucket list item. Trevor our driver and guide was fantastic. Communicated well, knowledgeable about everything on the tour. The video he played on the bus really helped us understand the significance of the area and the climbing community pilgrimage, who endeavour to climb El Capitan. A true eye opener. Trevor also ensured we were all ok and everyone in the group stayed together, walked with us, told us history and facts about Yosemite and the Giant Sequoias, whilst ensuring we remained hydrated and bus was super cool on what was a very hot day. Top tour loved every minute.

Trevor was an amazing tour guide! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. We had great time in Yosemite thanks to him.

Although the ride was long, there were enough rest stops along the way. Yosemite is gorgeous and no one should miss it. The ride was bumpy at times but I think that also has to do with the condition of the highways. Alberto was warm and did his best to bring us to different scenic spots for good photos. He made sure we got to every spot before the bigger tour groups!

Kurt was a fantastic guide who made this trip so very enjoyable. We covered most of the key spots and were able to spend enough time soaking in the beauty of the location. Kurt is very knowledgable about Yosemite and went out of his way to keep us engaged with a lot of stories and information about the park and its history. He was also kind enough to drop us back right to our Airbnb on the way back, thus saving us some Uber money :). If you are stretched for time, I think this trip is an ideal way to experience Yosemite. Highly recommended.

Kurt was an outstanding host and made it a fantastic day. He was very knowledgeable and courteous to all on board and continually checked on everyone individually. I would highly recommend travelling with Kurt

Yosemite is incredible, we really like to recommend the experience. Going with the guided tour van through the different view points and hicking trails made it super easy to see the most important places from Yosemite and get a whole idea on how the national park looks like in just one day. Our guide, Kurt, did a very good job. He was super nice, always asking if we were good, taking care that everyone has a good experience and he was always on top of everything (plus, he helped a lot with taking photos!!).

Were from the UK and booked this trip well before we arrived in the US of A. Our driver was brilliant and stopped many times to show us where to stand to get the best photo's. He was very knowledgeable as to what was what and even had a telescope so we could see the rock climbers up on the face of El Capitan .... cant recomend this trip enough, its a full day's excursion from Sanfransisco but boy was it worth it.

Tour was Amazing, and Phil was so nice and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone on the tour bus was comfortable and got pictures that they needed and wanted. Made sure to make stops for food and convivence. What a gorgeous and wonderful experience, and the team made it even more wonderful Phil even made sure that we were able to get items left behind! Went above and beyond what was necessary, truely a high class experience

Brian was great from start to finish. He accommodated our family and was in constant communication leading up to our tour. He showed a really great documentary on the history of climbing on the drive down and set up telescopes and binoculars so we can see climbers on El Capitan. My teenage boys who aren’t impressed by anything these days really enjoyed the trip as a whole and the documentaries on the way down and back. They had a great time, which again, with teenagers can be hit or miss and Brian made this tour a hit! We can’t wait to come back and explore other areas of the park!
