Yosemite Day Tour from San Francisco

Well worth it! The park is beautiful and the trip was very enjoyable. Our guide tristan was funny and made the trip very safe and fun!

A great day to be had. Gorgeous park. Renting a bike is a great way to see as much as you can of the valley at your own pace in the 3-4 hours of free time you are given inside. Bus is comfortable but it is a long journey. About 4 hours one way. There is no bathroom on the bus but we did make a stop for a half hour halfway to grab food and bathrooms. No charging outlets on the bus so be sure your device is fully charged or bring a spare battery. Totally would recommend this tour if Yosemite is on your bucket list and if you are fine with the expectation that it will be a very long day (pickup around 6am and being dropped off about 9pm).

The trip was amazing. Seeing Yosemite was a bucket list for so long and it didn’t disappoint. I even got the chance to see rock climbing on El Capitein. Jonathan was an awesome tour guide and extremely knowledgeable.

I highly recommend this tour. We went with Tristan - she was a thorough and knew a lot about Yosemite and SF. It’s a great bang for buck because renting a car is easily more expensive and more work for you after a few hours of hike.

Driver drove to fast and the entire ride was very uncomfortable with so many bodies bouncing around was not fun at all and scary around sharp turns

Great experience, but bus was packed on the way back having to bring people back that stayed overnight. Very crammed and hot. Our tour guide was very patient and great.

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
