Additional Information

Embark on a day excursion from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park, often called the country’s jewel amid its numerous magnificent national parks. A guided coach tour will take you to notable sights such as Bridalveil Falls, Tunnel View, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls. There’s also a scheduled pause for a 1-mile (1.6-km) walk into a cluster of giant sequoias*.

Our vehicles accommodate only 15 passengers, which enables us to visit more locations with reduced time spent on boarding and deboarding of travelers.

A MUST, MUST DO!! - Prepare for a full day out of San Francisco for a wonderful day visiting what is a beautiful area. Victor (His words "a taco) was our driver and tour guide. We have travelled on many day tours over the world and we put this at the top with his candor, effortless lilt of interesting facts, his jokes, historical knowledge of the area and a conversation about our collective responsibility for all parks including Yosemite National Park and life in general. I highly recommend this tour. Come prepared with layers as the walk to the giant trees raises the body temperature. The 2.58 miles round walk to the giant Sequorias was well well well! worth the walk. Congratulations Victor and thank you to the other people on board. We talked to many and really glued as a group.

Experience, Passionate & Entertaining Guide is the Key for this 14 hour Tour - Everything that was described on the tour, our guide Viktor made it happen! The text message from our guide the night before, suggesting what type of footwear for our hike to the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias & reconfirming our morning pick-up time was a plus. Viktor was very knowledgeable & passionate about what we are seeing on our tour. He kept us entertained too.

If you've never been to Yosemite, GO! - Went to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Boy, did I make a really good call! Our driver, Steven, was the best we could have asked for. The group we were with was fun & Steven made that even more enjoyable. He showed us the best spots for photographs & jumped in to assist with pics for everyone. What an experience! The waterfalls, the mountains, the sequoias. And you could tell that Steven really loves Yosemite. And now, so do we! Thanks, Steven, for making our trip truly exceptional.

Great tour, please upgrade the bus! - This was a great tour and obviously they took us to all the best spots and were given plenty of time to explore. The locations is what we enjoyed, this tour is worth it just for the location! The bus left a lot to be desired, it felt dirty and if you're left until last for pick up then you end up being in very close proximity to a stranger. It was also quite rickety, felt like it needed an upgrade. The guide was fine, informative if you needed it.
