100% a Pleasant tour, despite expectations not being met

We went on the Yosemite and sequoia tour from San Francisco. Pick up from hotel was on time and convenient, however bus was very basic for a 8hour round trip. We were informed once on board that we wouldn’t be visiting the sequoias, as it.. was winter, this was contrary to the misleading advert, which stated it would be dependent on snow and weather conditions. We felt we could have been informed of this before we were on our way. Our friendly driver wasn’t so much a tour guide, as a chatty bus driver, with a wondering monologue lacking important details. However, as a day trip to Yosemite, it was a convenient tour package to see some outstanding views of key attractions of Yosemite valley. A long day trip, but well worth the excursion for those with limited time. We want to return to really see Yosemite in depth!Read full review
Eccelleng experince all rouns, very memorable time !!!! Thankyou so much!! Exevllebt fay to go in winter. Weather was crisp but sunny and didnt rain tile we were back on the bus to SF. Minimal crowds, just a few people around. Denise was m..y tour our tour guide for the winter Yosemite Day Tour. She was both very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the Yosemite Day tour. Very well planned day and Denise was able to clearly communicate what we needed to do and what to expect. Always gave very practical information and great tips about how to maximise our experience with the limited time we had. Great photo oops. More time at the Sequoias would have been great as track was icy, but its hard to fit this in with the schedule. Gteat to see snow :) Only improvement to make is so the heating the back of the bus without overcooking the front and driver.. it was only occassionally cold at times at the back, even rugged up. Well worth the long day!! Would recommend. It was great our group o only had 26-30 people each way, allowing some breathing and napping room for such a long bus ride. Other people friendly and great to talk to on trip if you are travelling by yourself.Read full review
Our guide was amazing! Victor was knowledgable, friendly, a good communicator with the group and a really good driver!! We encountered a couple of little problems during the day - visiting during the government shut down meant some facili..ties were closed and rangers were at a minimum & we encountered a traffic crash - but at no point did this worry me as I was sure Victor was experienced and in control! Fabulous day!Read full review
Denise was an amazing tour guide. Professional, so experienced & knowledgeable, and enthusiastic the whole day. I think the website needs to be mobile compliant for travelers trying to book & pay on smart phones.
I have done tours all over the world and this was by far the best ever. Are driver was exceptional in every way. I felt safe and taken care of the whole day, I learned so much, and the experience was absolutely memorable. Thanks again
Pick up locations could have been closer to motel instead of having a 20 minute walk to another hotel at 5.30am. Good tour of Yosemite, except giant sequoias were closed off so couldnt see them (even though paid for it as part of tour).
