Wonderful day at Yosemite

What a great trip! Tour guide Snowshoe John made it the great experience that it was. Great depth of knowledge about the park and park history, obvious passion for nature, nice interaction with the guests, and provided really excellent lunch as well as breakfast. Made many stops for pictures and breaks. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

It's a long day....

It's a long day. Travelers should know 1 stop entails a 2 mile round-trip walk, somewhat challenging

Best Way to See Yosemite Park

This tour was one of the best we’ve ever taken! Our tour guide, Snowshoe John, made this all day trip very interesting and fun. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us plenty of background information through videos and his expertise about nature and the park. We got to see most of the highlights in Yosemite and even were able to take an hour hike, which was a nice break from all the traveling in the bus. John provided both breakfast and lunch, which he took the time to make himself. We were extremely pleased with the tour from start to finish. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the park but only has a limited time to enjoy its magnificent beauty.

Yosemite Park Tour A++++++

This detour of Yosemite was excellent. Great communication on pickup location and what to bring and expect. Our guide John was so enthusiastic and educational along the tour and made many stops to all of the most beautiful parts of the park. His knowledge and love of nature and this area is evident! Breakfast stop and a full lunch was provided which was great. I'm so happy I chose this tour and got to explore one of the most incredible National Parks!

Fantastic way to see Yosemite!!

This tour and our tour guide Snowshoe John was amazing!! Getting up early was hard, but it is well worth the quietness of the park you are able to get by being there right after the sun rises. John knew every single bird, flower, mountain, waterfall and just about anything you would want to know. He had a light breakfast and a fantastic lunch for us which was great and we sat along a lake to eat it which was gorgeous!!! The van/bus was very comfortable and although there were no bathrooms on board (I panicked about that at first) the stops where we were able to go were plentiful. I highly recommend this tour.

A Worthwhile Tour

Our tour guide, John, did an outstanding job of explaining Lake Tahoe highlights and history, prepared a very tasteful and healthy breakfast and lunch for duration of tour. The transportation vehicle was clean and we were well taken care of during the entire tour. It was a great intro to Yosemite NP.
