A fantastic trip to Yosemite

Published on Jan, 2025

I had a wonderful trip to Yosemite! The guide was so nice. He took pictures of me and helped with walk on the slippery icy road to sequoias! It was so great and lovely tom make some friends during the trip. I would recommend every solo traveler to give it a try and use it for your trip to Yosemite. Also, if you book it from San Jose, the tour will reserve you a uber ride from your hotel to the gathering location, which is very convenient.

Awesome Guide and Tour

Published on Jul, 2024

The tour was very well planned. There were restroom stops after every hour and a half. The guide Glenda was very good. She was very very friendly. She had cold water, soft drinks, snacks and took care of all the people. Definitely ask for her if you plan to take this tour.

Good day in Yosemite

Published on Jun, 2024

It was a long day, but a great day. Our tour guide was David and he was wonderful. Great stories, knowledgeable about the park and was kind enough to slow walk with me on the return hike from the sequoias.

Great overview of Yosemite National Park.

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a great overview of Yosemite National Park. Our guide, Randall, gave great information about the Central Valley, small towns along the way, and then made sure we knew where to take the best pictures at every location in the park. His directions were clear and he problem-solved well. It was a long day, but a well-executed trip. The only change I would make is finding a better location to stop for dinner on the way home.
