Love the giant redwoods and the waterfalls Our host was very knowledgeable about the history of Yosemite.

Andrew_T

Alberto, the driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The scenery was amazing. The bus on the other hand needs to be retired and replaced with a more comfortable updated one. No back seat pouches no outlets to charge phones useless cup holders, nothing to prevent gear/packages from falling overhead and DVD kept turning off during video presentations. I would give this tour 5 stars otherwise but still recommend it.

Brent_Z

Mainly booked this tour to see the Sequoyah's, but they were not available. We were not told this was a possibility until 2 days before. The company we booked with sent us to another “sister” company and the time in the Yosemite valley was really not easy for novices to sort through how to do. We were expecting something different from a tour, not just a shuttle service that dumped us at the valley and said come back in 3 hours.

William_C

We scheduled a tour of Yosemite and the Giant Sequoias. We got a half tour of Yosemite and NO tour of the Sequoias. Our drive was hospitable and friendly but told several ‘personal experience’ stories and discussed his favorites rather than talking about what the tour was supposed to be. No excuses on why we didn’t get to see the Sequoia valley or why we didn’t get that portion of the trip. The driver played with his phone to select the music he wanted while driving the back roads. Literally while driving the back roads. Overall a disappointing trip for us.

Fantastic trip!! We are a family of five and it was excellent for both the adults and kids! Tour guide was knowledgeable. Overall great experience that we would recommend.

Our guide Rob was excellent! We have been wanting to see Yosemite for years and glad we finally made it. He was full of interesting information and had a great attitude. You could tell he really loves his job and the beauty of Yosemite. We also enjoyed learning about the movie "Free Solo" - which we watched on the bus ride while learning about El Capitan and the famous climb. It was truly a great experience and the best way to see Yosemite. We highly recommend this tour and if you go, ask for Rob to be your guide. Thank you Rob!

David was an awesome tour guide and very safe bus driver. Lots of good stories. Only wish there was more time. Will definitely come back for a longer stay! 😀

John_J

Seeing the view of the valley and walking to the falls. Disliked not knowing that the bus was not going to the Sequoias until we were almost out of the park.

The views were amazing and we had a great time. A couple of recommendations would we to get a bus with a bathroom on it and I felt like this was the tour that would never end. It says a 14 hour tour but it was 15.5 hours before we got back to the hotel. I think we should have stuck to the itinerary and not made extra stops. But, Yosemite was a great place to visit.
