Antonio was the best tour guide, friendly, very knowledgeable, patient, made additional stops for us to take pictures, etc, etc. We will take any tour with a guide like Antonio. The trip was long, but he made it funny and confortable.

Perfect day trip for me on my own while being part of an international tour group ~ getting in some time for relaxation, rejuvenation, and inspiration at our amazing Yosemite National Park. I packed my own food/drinks for the trip. We stopped half way to Yosemite for a break. Most went to Raley's for food/drink purchases. I went to CVS for motion sickness prevention ideas, bc it was going to get very windy through the mountains from there. The ginger gum worked great for me there and back! We stopped at the same location on the way back. On the tour at Yosemite, the driver took us around to many key spots for photo ops and gave us history and fun facts about each spot. After our tour on the bus, we had several hours on our own.

This was awesome, but a little bit hard due to far distance.

This day trip was wonderful! The coach/bus was comfortable and the driver was very friendly and informative. A great way to see Yosemite if you only have a day to spare.

I want to tell everyone that this excursions was one of the best I have ever done. Our tour guide Antonio was awesome. He went over and above to stop at places heading to and heading back from the tour that other guides may not have taken the time to do. You could tell how passionate he is about what he does. Antonio knew so much about the history of the Park and was able to answer all questions thrown at him. He was pleasant, helpful, informative and made everyone feel comfortable. I cannot say enough about him and this excursion. I would pay double to do it all over again that's how phenomenal our day was. DO NOT hesitate to do this excursion.

It was good BUT too expensive for the few time that we spend there...We had to be running in the park, the guided tour was ON THE BUS the bus driver was explaining some things but never gave info about the free shuttle in the park which can give you tours IN THE PARK and we spent too much time at the gas station...

What an experience. The highlight of our holiday. The views were incredible and will live with us forever. The whole day however was made so enjoyable by our guide and driver, Antonio. His knowledge shone through in everything he said and his own personal experience showed the passion he has.

I was a bit weary of the long bus journey . As soon as we were all seated , our tour guide/driver Antonio introduced himself . A voice with such clarity and a great manner in which he described things as we drove along , I knew this was going to be a good tour . He explained the background of the places we passed , the people who live and work there ,the evolution of everything with a passing of time . The stops he made for stretching of legs / refreshments, and the scienic locations were just right . A big thank you Antonio, for finding my wife's necklace ! I think Antonio is so good at gauging people , what he thinks a mix of people would like and he plans everthing as he drives along.Even at the end of the day driving through downtown, with the rain coming down quite heavily he was always so positive ,as he dropped us at Union Square it stopped raining! Antonio is a top man- no question, you should be proud of him.

Excellent, informative with breathtaking views from the bus and free time to explore on your own. Convenient hotel pick up and drop off. Food options could be better.

This trip was the highlight of our trip out to San Fransisco. Wonderful service from our hotel. Chabli, our bus drive, was kind and fun. Bus was comfortable and made the long day a pleasant experience. The recent snow was a bonus which made the park beautiful! I highly recommend it! Margo Bennett, North Carolina.

Very nice tour, the driver was very kind and he even stopped at Treasure Island on the way back to SF so that we could see the skyline at night. We had plenty of time in Yosemite, and I don't think you can see more in one day as we did. We had a good balance between guided visits and free time in the park. I totally recommend the tour!

An excellent day's journey with a knowledgeable and helpful driver. Stopping off to let us take some amazing photos of Yosemite Falls and the surrounding area. A great day rounded off by stopping to take photos of SF from across the bay.

Yosemite was extremely beautiful and worth the long drive. You will have very limited time there, but your driver will take you on some wonderful stops before you have free time. Sheblei was one of the most knowledgeable, funny and caring guides I’ve had on a trip. I hope many more people get to enjoy him. He was extremely patient, well organized and explained everything we were going to do. He took the time to take ppl to requested stops (at the end of the night) and made sure to drop them off at the safest locations. A very kind, attentive gentleman. Thank you Sheblei for taking us to see the beautiful night scape of San Francisco on the bay. Wonderful way to end the long day!

It was a very early start but extremely worth it. I had a long journey ahead of me but I had the best tour guide I've experienced yet in Antonio, fab driving on Old Priest Road! He talked about all the interesting sites along the way and took us to the must see sites of Yosemite. He was courteous, knowledgeable and gave us perfect lengths of time for photos and breaks on the trip._br/_ This tour really is worth it if you are on a short trip to San Francisco, all the pictures and photos you see of Yosemite can never do it justice. It is a must see National Park! After Antonio showed us all the beautiful places on the tour we got to spend nearly 4 hours free time in the park which was great. I'm one for yoga/meditating so I found a quiet spot all to myself with Half Dome in the background after climbing to Lower Yosemite Falls. _br/_ We all met up for the bus journey back and Antonio made a few more photo opportunity stops. To say I've watched the sunset in Yosemite is beyond my wildest dreams and a complete privilege. If Yosemite is on your bucket list, I'd say go without a second thought! I will one day hopefully return and stay a few nights there.

This was the best tour I have taken by far. If you are in San Francisco I highly recommend this trip, it is worth every penny. Our tour guide Jorge was amazing. He took us to his favorite fishing spot at the park and the view of El Capitan was amazing. That's the picture next to the tree. Great exp

Absolutely disgraceful experience, in so many regards it makes me think that the favorable ratings here are false! I took my parents who are from Australia and I was literally embarrassed by every aspect of the day.
Review by: Jiri T, January 2018
Great trip, with possibility to see all the most beutiful places. And almost 4 hours for own activity in the Yosemite valey.
Review by: Saisai Y, January 2018
I really like all the view there. But we drive there, the bus stopped for 1 hour to break. I wiish we could spend more time there..
Review by: Valerie Maria L, January 2018
The tour was very touristy. We had made a few stops and had only 10 to 20 minutes each time to take a nice photo at certain vantage points. The park was beautiful, but I wanted more free time to explore for myself.
