Great 3 day trip to Yosemite with stay at Cedar Lodge
Josh was an outstanding guide. He had so much knowledge of SFO, surrounding areas we passed, and Yosemite. Our group appreciated his hard work and guide efforts. The tour was busy, but you get to see so much. The free day is great as you can divide and conquer the areas seen on the first two days. The park has so much to offer for all levels of activities and ages.

Yosemite was awe inspiring
We loved our trip to Yosemite. We cannot emphasize enough how wonderful our tour guide Ben was. He is fabulous.! He is to be commended for his even keel manner and his great knowledge of the park. He made the trip so enjoyable for us. I would go on another tour with Ben. My only complaint was with the company description of the trip. It was not clear that we were eating at Ben's campsite for many of the meals. The food was kept cool in a cooler, but for me that was quite worrisome. I have a medical condition that requires me to eliminate many foods. I was only somewhat successful with that but it also made the meal for others not as much fun since I had to put restrictions on food. Also, I had constant stress about spoilage since there was no refrigeration, just ice. There was potential for me to become ill if something was not cool enough. I think the company should consider making that part of the trip much clearer and should be asking about medical conditions and not just food preferences. Lastly, the rooms at the lodge have refrigeration. Certainly once at the camp site, many of the foods could have been stored in travelers' mini fridges. We love Ben, but urge the company to make it much clearer as to how the meals will take place.

Remarkable place to visit!
It was a great trip! Oliver was a great guide and went out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable. So glad I stayed in a hotel as it was over 100° during the day and not that much cooler at night.

Great Group Tour to Yosemite
The Yosemite 3-Day Lodge Adventure provided by Incredible Adventures was a wonderful experience. Sarah was extremely friendly and helpful, and all the group members were great company. We were lucky to spot a bear and her cub on the Tioga Road up to the high country. I'm so happy I got to be part of this trip.
Tip 1: Be mindful of the changing weather — bring sunscreen and a jacket even if the forecast looks fine. We did the trip at the end of June. We went to the beach and it was on the cold side, yet it got really hot on the hiking trails (I did the Mist Trail on Day 3 and the views were stunning).
Tip 2: There are limited food options in the park. Try to pick up food and snacks before entering. The restaurant in the lodge area serves breakfast but has limited choices. Prepare to eat sandwiches for lunch in a stretch if you want to spend more time on the trails.
Tip 3: This is a group tour, so you need to follow the assigned schedule. We did have free time on Day 3, but the first two days were structured. It could be helpful to reach out to the organizer in advance for schedule details. The trip includes hiking and swimming options, so bring hiking shoes and swimwear. There are also 1-day and 2-day options, but the 3-day tour obviously gives you the most time to explore.
Overall, it was a great pleasure doing this lodging trip, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone who enjoys hiking in national parks.

The best way to fully experience Yosemite
We had the best time on this trip with Josh who was amazing .. so knowledgeable and interesting .. he really went the extra mile. Fabulous !It was nice to see the north end of the park in this way as not so busy
The pick up is on the street outside the Hilton entrance .. we expected to go inside and see something for the company but don’t worry they will arrive
Thoroughly recommend
