It’s a long day with a lot of driving, but well worth it. The views are spectacular and iconic and taking advantage of a tour guide who knows the history and best places to stop for views made it so much easier than trying to rent a car and figure it all out myself. Our guide Lana was well-informed, easy going, and made sure everyone on the tour had what they needed for a great day.
The pick-up was a little disorganised as initially a nice modern looking minibus came but our names weren't on the list. Another bus did come 10 minutes later and pick the rest of us up at the Hilton. Unfortunately for us we had a bone-shaker of a bus with no forward window views and fairly uncomfortable seats. Johanna was driving and there was another older man who never introduced himself. After 20 minutes driving Johanna got out and we were left with the older man. He was pleasant but very laid back and laissez faire, obviously he'd been here many times but we hadn't. He stopped at some good beauty spots once in Yosemite. We then wound our way down to a restaurant with facilities and along the way he'd pointed out where we might want to walk/go but we really didn't quite know where we were and how to do this walk. Eventually we asked an official where we were on the map. There was a little mini-train about to go around the park which we would have liked to go on (and would have had time) but it was full up - shame we couldn't have known about it beforehand and booked the trip. Yosemite is awesome and the scenery was spectacular so we enjoyed the trip but were disappointed with the guide.
they should just drive so you'd own your time. 3-4 hrs in the park is just not enough to see the park. also, the lacks direction
Don’t ride in the back of the bus. Very bumpy. There is NO bathroom on the bus. Overall good experiencr
Great day out to one of America’s beautiful National Parks. We were involved in a minor accident in a tunnel on the way but our guide/driver Jonathan kept calm & handled it well
This is a must do if one is visiting SF for the first time. Viator has offered us the opportunity to experience it without the hassle of having to worry about driving there yourself. The drive is beautiful with ample time for a pit stop and shop for food. Our driver Aidan was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable.
I had a great experience on the Yosemite trip with Incredible Adventures. The tour was very well organized, and everything went according to plan. Our tour guide was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained everything in great detail. I decided to take the Mist Trail, and her guidance made the hike much easier to navigate. She showed me where to board the shuttle, explained where to go to get the best views of Vernal Falls, and made sure I understood how to get back to the van. Thanks to her clear instructions, I was able to complete the hike within the allotted time and return to the van comfortably. We left early at around 6:20 AM and got back quite late, around 10 PM, but it was absolutely worth it. Yosemite was beautiful, and the entire day was a memorable experience. The only downside was that the coach’s AC was not kept on after the initial part of the journey. We were asked to open the windows instead. Given the long travel time, I would have preferred the coach to be fully air-conditioned throughout the trip. Other than that, everything worked as planned. Overall, I would definitely recommend Incredible Adventures for a Yosemite trip, especially because of the excellent
Johanna was an amazing guide, had great recommendations and beautiful personality. Answered everyone’s questions and was on time.
I thought I signed up for just a tour guide but having Johanna was as if I was having a crash course of thel correlation between socioeconomic, political, natural resources deciding the historical events that happened since the 1840s. What a great day. Thank you.
David is really nice. Found him to be comfortable and easy to talk with and just a warm person. Feedback: Please have water and snacks available. This was a long trip to have to rely on stops and not have water, treats, trail mix, fruit snacks. Advertise when waterfalls are active. Advertise when waterfall season is. It is important to share when the waterfalls are active, this is a primary reason for people to come out.
