Soccer fans 2026 : Yosemite & Kings Canyon NP 2 - Day Tour from LA（ヨセミテ＆キングスキャニオンNP2 - ロサンゼルス発日帰りツアー）

The tour fee was reasonable, and I would give our driver, Todd, 5 stars. He was accommodating and ultimately made an effort to address some of our concerns. Transportation was also very comfortable, and both Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon are absolutely beautiful destinations. Unfortunately, the tour itself was not well organized. The biggest issue was the lack of communication and information throughout the trip. There was no introduction at the beginning, no itinerary, and no overview of what we would be seeing or where we would be stopping. We expected a tour bus with a professional tour guide, but instead traveled in a comfortable Honda minivan with four paying passengers, the driver, and another person assisting the driver who never introduced himself. Shortly after departure, we were informed that the itinerary order had changed, which was not a problem. However, our first bathroom stop was a gas station where we had to purchase merchandise to use the restrooms. Later, we stopped in Mariposa for lunch and were simply told to buy food at a supermarket. Fortunately, we found a Mexican restaurant nearby, which turned out to be a much better option. At several scenic stops, we received little or no information about what we were seeing. For example, at one stop we were told to spend 15 minutes there but were not told it was Bridalveil Fall. We only learned this by reading the informational signs ourselves. We also visited Yosemite Falls, several granite formations, and Tunnel View, where we could see El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall. The scenery was spectacular, but the lack of explanation significantly diminished the experience. That evening, we were told there would be no dining options near the hotel and were offered a stop at a Chinese buffet. We accepted, but the food quality was poor. We then arrived at the Best Western in Selma, not Fresno as advertised. While the bed was comfortable, the strong chemical odor throughout the hallway and room was almost unbearable. The second day was dedicated to Kings Canyon and the giant sequoias. To our surprise, the itinerary did not include a visit to the General Sherman Tree, the largest living tree in the world. After some discussion, Todd agreed to take us there, which we greatly appreciated. On the return trip, we stopped at Popeyes for lunch (not what we were expecting) before being dropped off at our final destination. Overall, the destinations were magnificent, the transportation was comfortable, and the driver was helpful. However, this felt more like a transportation service than a guided tour. The constant lack of information left us not knowing where we were going, why we were stopping, or what we were supposed to see. A guided tour should provide context, explanations, and a clear itinerary. Unfortunately, this tour did not.

Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon National Park are both breathtaking destinations with stunning natural scenery. The giant sequoias, majestic mountains, and beautiful valleys made this trip truly memorable. We were also very satisfied with the tour company’s service. The guide was professional, friendly, and well-organized, making the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Chris was an amazing guide and driver! Very helpful, Patience & Knowledgeable of the parks history and rules it made a huge difference in our short but mighty experience, Definitely Recommend Chris and this tour!

2 Day King Canyon/Yosemite trip was amazing. Our tour guide Kiwi was friendly, helpful and kept things organized and moving along. Great tour

I would like to thank our driver and guide, Andy, for his enthusiasm and professionalism. This tour is strongly recommended. We were also very lucky to witness snowing in Kings Canyon!

This was fantastic. We managed to see Sequoia trees on day one and get to Yosemite on day two from LA. We would never have managed to get that far and see those things in the short amount of time we had without doing this. The hotel was fine. Two double beds in the room meant we each had our own bed. It's a lot of driving, but it had to be in order to see what we saw from LA in such a short time. Lots of breaks to get out the car and stretch legs.

Chris was a wonderful, friendly, accommodating, welcoming host. He shared the necessary information about the places we wanted to visit but did not burden us with too much information. Considering the distance to the parks from LA, we got to see quite a bit Definitely recommend for those people who dont have too much time.

This was a very exciting tour with many amazing impressions. Our guide was a very nice man. We had enough breaks also breaks for lunch. We could decide between different restaurants. In the day in the Yosemite Park we could see many places and had enough time to enjoy and to make pictures. In the Kings Canyon we had some time in the gift Shop and only 1 hour in the Park. I wish we had 30 minutes or 60 minutes more time. Altogether a very good tour. The hotel were we had 1 overnight stay was a very good hotel. The breakfast was included. We enjoyed the 2 days tour very much.

It could have been a lot better. There was minimal info from the tour guide as to what to bring or what we were seeing. The hotel was sub standard: clogged sink, no toiletries, creaky shower, bad neighborhood to try to get something decent to eat other than fast food, you’d take your life in hand crossing a major highway. Stops on the tour were fast food mostly. We sat in the back and could not hear above the air conditioner and the tour guide’s mask. Free admission to the parks (although that was listed as included in the tour as part of what we paid) and not enough time to explore. Loved the scenery and the driver/ tour guide kept us safe ( good driver) not the best communicater

Shawn Cheng was our driver and the tour guide and he did an excellent job in both roles . He contacted me the day before travel with instructions of the pick up locations. We left LA on time and it was a long drive to Kings canyon on the first day. There were plenty of comfort stops. The bus and overnight accomodation was comfortable. Yosemite was magical with majestic waterfalls. We returned on time back to LA on the second day. I wish we stopped at few more places at both parks ( to see more iconic trees in Kings Canyon and a stop at Bridal veil falls in Yosemite) . Otherwise I have no complaints.
