Yosemite National Park & Giant Sequoias 2-dages semi-guidet tur

Andy Howse is really enthusiastic. We learned a lot from him. I give him 5 stars

Great way to experience 2 days in Yosemite. Booked our own hotel. However the trip was quite expensive and as non US residents had to pay additional park fees of $100 each on top. Day 1 Pick up 5.30 am Were some delays leaving San Francisco with people missing at a stop then extra people trying to board bus not booked! Guide/Driver on way there had to try and make up time but stops felt rushed and we also arrived later than planned. Also guide talked a lot often repeating information rather than just providing interesting facts. Day 2 On return trip our Guide/ Driver Toby was excellent he was friendly informative and considerate to the passengers their questions and needs. He also had a lot of local knowledge and provided a lot of interesting information . The stops on the way back were more leisurely and enjoyable. Arriving back in SF just after 9pm after a stop for food .

Harrrowing Experience Would not even recommend to my enemy! I booked a 2 person overnight Yosemite tour May 4-5. To begin with they missed picking us up at the pick up point in SFO and left the city without us. The scheduled departure was 5.50am and we we were there at 5.45 am. And since they shared no contact information of any driver or guide to seek any help, their on call customer support team ( seemed like they were based in Asia) had no clue on the location of the bus or the driver. It took me 7 calls to push them to figure it out or refund. And finally at 7 am the bus arrived. Guess what instead the driver said “ we checked you in before we left” ! They failed in basic check and customer experience and showed no remorse. But it isnt over yet, the guide Sharon had no clue on the details of the bus that will get us back and told us to call the customer support next day. And similar experience repeated next day! To top it all the driver next day was rude and almost racist! He commanded me and my son to sit in seat ( next to door) and said it is what was allocated. There was no such term and only after I out my foot down and refuse to budge in we were given decent seats. The management of the tour operators did not have the courtesy to call and apologise and have demonstrated abysmal incompetence in running this tour. And mind you it is damn expensive bus ride to take you from SFO to Yosemite and back and nothing else. I would give them 0 stars if possible

Guide Andy made all the difference on this trip. He's a walking history book n the best storyteller. He's passionate about Yosemite n it shows -- what a gem! He also have clear instructions n made all of the us feel engaged n safe. Thanks, Andy!

I had 2 drivers in 2 days, gino and Rob. Both made a big effort to be entertaining, telling us trivia of all the places we past by and visit. Especially thanks to Rob, i had a emergency and he found a solution quickly. Saved my life. Cheers mate !

Great trip to Yosemite National Park. Andy was a terrific guide and made the tour fun. Yosemite National Park is a spectacular place to visit with so many amazing views.

The tour was great! Easy to get in contact with the company and very organised! Our bus driver on the first day was quite rude and not very helpful but when we returned the following day, we had ANDY!!!! And he was amazing!!! There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for you, including laying on the floor to get the best angles for your photos! Highly recommend as a 2 day tour! But stay at the Valley Lodge if you are ☺️

Had an amazing tour to Yosemite! Andy was an excellent tour guide: very energetic, knowledgeable and funny. He went above and beyond to make sure that everyone was having a great time! Excellent photography skills as well

Such an amazing experience. Being able to walk around and do your own sight-seeing at Yosemite was special. Both Rob and Gino had lots of interesting facts - and a wonderful sense of humour. Highly recommend this tour.

My husband, two young children and I toured to Yosemite on the 2 day trip this week. We found extranomical super helpful and attentive. Checking that our transfers and accommodation had been booked to ensure we didn’t get stuck anywhere and were not left out in the wilderness. Both of our tour guides Alberto and Andy were exceptional. Alberto went over and above to ensure our trip was comfortable and helped us with our child seat for our youngest. Andy did the same, reserving us seats on our return trip home and was a wealth of knowledge on San Francisco. He even played a documentary on the way back which was great. Thanks Andy and Alberto! Would definitely recommend this trip.
