Unforgettable Yosemite & Sequoias Small Group Day Trip from SF

Absolutely worth it! Brian W was an outstanding tour guide, truly exceptional in every way. He was right on time and made sure the entire trip ran smoothly and stayed perfectly on schedule. He kept us engaged throughout the day, while also giving us ample free time to explore at our own pace, which we really appreciated. Brian clearly put a lot of effort into making sure everyone had a fantastic experience. The videos he played during the journey were a great touch and made the travel time enjoyable. His driving skills were excellent, making the journey incredibly smooth and comfortable. Despite covering so much in one day, we never once felt rushed. Brian was friendly, funny, and genuinely a great human being, which made the whole experience even better. Everything was just perfect. Highly recommended, thank you a million, Brian!

This was a very memorable day in Yosemite Park. It was a long day but Calder was a very knowledgeable guide and gave us ample opportunity for photos and time to see all the best attractions. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

A long day but well worth the time. Derek was punctual, knowledgeable and very professional. He took us to all of the highlights of Yosemite with a lot of interesting background information. A lot of fun.

Derek was an amazing guide and I would definitely recommend this tour! The sites in the parks are priceless and speak for themselves! Be prepared for a long day and make sure you wear comfortable attire and dress appropriately for the weather conditions.

Kurttttt ! Don’t know how he does it on such a long day but great tour guide who goes above and beyond. Just be and on time and he’ll handle the rest. 10/10 !

A long day but a very rich and enjoyable tour, with lots of interesting local history and stories shared along the drive. It’s a convenient way to see the main highlights of the park without the stress of driving or planning. I’m giving 4 stars because there was subtle 20% tipping pressure through jokes and hints — a clearer expectation upfront in the tour description would feel more transparent and comfortable. Ultimately, the pay arrangement is between the company and the employee. It's optional to show gratitude and empathy, but the pressure should not be transferred to guests. The ticket price for each person is already higher than other tours, the price for 2 will be way more than $500 with 20% additional. Just want to other tourists to be clear before booking.

Genuinely an amazing tour. Steven was 10/10 and took great care of us. Can tell he’s very passionate about what he does and just a kind and charismatic person. Going alone, he made me feel like I had a friend for the day. Highly recommend!

Yosemite in a day. Pick up at your hotel. Ride in a comfy deluxe Sprinter van so you don't have to worry about driving in a National Park. Steven was our tour director and he was so great. Very funny and knowledgeable about Yosemite and the giant Sequoia forest. We hiked and toured the whole park. He just drove us from one amazing hike to the next. So many photo ops! So much beauty! Exhausting long day but definitely the best thing you can do in the San Francisco area. Just blown away by this day. Worth every penny.

I was on the fence about booking this experience, but I’m so glad I did! I was traveling for work and only had one free day in San Francisco. I wasn’t sure if spending 6+ hours driving was the best use of my time, but Yosemite has always been on my bucket list, and it was absolutely worth it. Derek was a fantastic guide and the perfect partner for the day. He was passionate, knowledgeable, and kept the long drive interesting with fun facts and documentaries about the park. He’s also an excellent photographer, which was such a bonus! The van we travelled in was spacious and comfortable and didn't feel cramped at any point. As a solo traveler, this tour ended up being a great way to meet people, I started the day around strangers but I left with new friends and memories I’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

Derek was a great guide and his knowledge and interaction with us really enhanced the trip for us. He had great knowledge of history and tips on spots to see and where to get the best photo shots.
