While visiting Yosemite was a dream come true, this tour was made extra special and memorable by the tour guide, Rob. From the start of the early day he brought such a bright, warm, and engaging energy that got us all excited for the days adventures. He was a wealth of knowledge about San Francisco, the surrounding areas, and Yosemite - I learned so much in just one day from him. He expertly and safely drove us through the daunting (but beautiful!) roads up to the park. His great sense of humor, genuine desire for us to all have the best trip possible, and attention to detail to making sure we got to see all of the best views and sites made this trip better than I could have ever imagined. It was my first time doing a trip like this on my own and I’m so glad I had such a friendly tour guide in Rob. The park is gorgeous and a must see, the day is jam packed with so many incredible things to do and see, and it’s super convenient with the hotel pick ups and drop offs. I’ll happily take an extra nominal tour again especially if Rob is the tour guide!

The driver/tour guide was very passionate about explaining everything to us about the tour. His driving was also good.

Roman our tour guide and excellent driver is super amazing,he is himself outdoor enthusiast he made long tour fun and he is very knowledgeable about places we went to and also the entire San Francisco that he did great in dropping off everyone to our hotel or destination despite road closure in downtown due to APEC

Understandable. Not the right time of year. Lakes dry. Saw a small water fall. Glacier and Mariposa closed due to snow or roads being repaired from past flooding. Had to rearrange schedule to see Mariposa the day it was open. For hikers I'm sure it is worth the trip. I enjoyed Sequoia better.

The whole experience was great. Yosemite is a majestic place and a must see at least once. I am so glad we booked a guided tour vs taking it on ourselves. I like seeing things at my own pace but I also like experienced travelers to send me in the right direction. Our stops included the sequoias, El Capitan, a few waterfalls and the half dome. My favorite spot was the Sequoias. The hike to get there was a bit rough with the altitude but worth every bit of it!! What I loved about this tour is the multiple stops for restroom breaks, lunch and dinner. That was great! Our tour guide was awesome and always was available to take our photos anywhere. I also loved the freedom to rain the park for a few hours. Things I would do different: prepare better for the long, long day. Take plenty snacks ahead of time and a pillow to be comfy on the bus ride. We didn’t stay at any of their hotel pickups so we drove to one and didn’t prepare for parking hiccups. We just didn’t do our homework. Will be better prepared for the next time!

I can't even begin to describe my feelings as I arrived in this heaven. Gino was our tour guide, very fun, very informative and very strict about time which helped us cover every single hot spot of what Yosemite could offer, every single of it. Gino was very informative and detailed in his explanation about the area so I feel like I learned a lot during the trip. He will make sure we pay attention to the main attraction that he was explaining about and some times he told us very hilarious and quirky jokes. Very fun trip I shall say! We first went to Tunnel View oh my god I was in awe. We even dropped by Bridalveil Fall, longer stop was at Yosemite Waterfall around 2 hrs and it was amazing and more than enough for me to take all the photos I needed and to bask in the Yosemite sunshine, soaking in its breeze. Make sure to have a good lunch here because after that you'll head to see Sequoias. And next, we even got to see El Capitan up close!! It was surreal oh god. Then after, we head to hike to see Sequoia. For me, the time allocated for hike in Sequoias which was just around 1hr 20mins should be stretched to maybe 1hr 30mins instead. The hike downhill was fairly okay but I gotta advise you to really sprint until you see the Sequoias since you will want to buy as much time as you can to hike back up to the tour bus. The photos I took was mostly snap and go but still very decent and memorable photos. As they have warned multiple times, you need to at least allocate yourself 40mins to an hour for the hike back up. I recorded my trip, my hike down until I see Sequoia tree was around 17mins, and I still managed to take kinda a lot of photos, walking around the Groove Loop which was further down with my group tourmates for about 15 mins++. I went back up for I think around 40 minutes. It was a non-stop hike up so that I can make it on time and I just slowly walked so that I can catch a breath. It could be really grueling for people who might have health issues/unfit. I'm not a hiker, nor a runner and I don't consider myself too active but I do go to the gym every week before that to build stamina mostly Yoga and just a light jog on a treadmill. So, if you jog/brisk walk/go to the gym every 2-3 days/week and workout or do cardios to keep your bpm around 130+ most days, maybe it could really help in building your stamina for the hike up and down to see Sequoia. Please go see it, it's really worth it! The place was magical and felt like as if fairies live there lol I'm not even exaggerating. And also stick to your group tourmates for solo travelers as it helps so that you won't get left behind and they can help you take photos too! (Thank you to all my group tourmates for the wonderful photos and wonderful time!!). As the goal of this trip is to see as much as you can, I feel super satisfied with the timing allocated at each stop. For solo travelers, don't forget to bring your tripod! It's gonna be useful!!

It is a amazing experience even with the Australian dollar making it a expensive trip we thought it was well worth it our driver guide Gino gets five stars and Yosemite is one of the most beautiful places I have been in the world

Almost everything was excellent, our driver Gino made the tour very enjoyable and explained many stories about Josemite State Park. The only complaint is that the bus's AC broke down and it was super hot.

Great tour with easy pick up and drop off. Our guide Gino was knowledgeable and very mindful to keep everyone on a schedule and make all of the stops within the given amount of time. He pointed out the best sites for amazing views.

Great day in Yosemite and lucky with sunny and clear skies for nice photos. Long day, yes, but this is known beforehand. You certainly get the most out of the day! Don our driver and tour guide was interesting and knowledgeable and quite a character. Bus could be less bone shaking and functioning charging points would be great.

It was a great trip to Yosemite with our guide Rob. He really did a great job! It was a long drive, but definitely worth doing it.

Why 5 stars- For Rob : our tour guide cum driver! He looked after everyone’s needs, shared a lot of information and remained calm and full of enthusiasm on a day that was about 14-15 hours long!! The tour company could think of upgrading the bus- have some functioning charging points, wifi, etc for a slightly more luxurious experience.

Rob our tour guide was truly amazing! He has incredible knowledge of the area and knew exactly where to stop to get great photos and gave us really good advice on what walks we could achieve in the time given in Yosemite and at the sequoias. It was a really long day but the bus was super comfortable.

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

Rob did a wonderful job being our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and took his time to make sure we got every photo opportunity needed! It is a long day but it is really worth it!
