If you have to choose a tour to go to Yosemite, I highly recommend Best Bay Area Tours. It's a very complete tour where we saw Yosemite Park in the morning and the Sequoias in the afternoon. I would highlight the small size of the group. The transport to the park, about 3 hours, was quite enjoyable, where we watched documentaries, films, and talked to the guide about the park so that we were prepared for what we were going to see. Thank you Trevor and the other participants for an excellent day!
Take a day trip from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park, described as the crown jewel of the country's many splendid national parks. You will be guided on a coach tour to highlights such as Bridalveil Falls, Tunnel View, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls, with a stop for a 1-mile (1.6-km) walk into a grove of giant sequoias*. Our vans only take 15 passengers, so we are able to stop at more places with less time for loading and unloading of passengers. *weather permitting, and the hike is not recommended for people with health issues

Small group tour. Nice comfy van seating about 15 people. Knowledgeable guide who interacted well with everyone. One concern: there were 5 of 7 young persons on board. Beer was allowed to be consumed, which left us very uncomfortable. Two passengers were consistently loud and obnoxious.

Absolutely one of a kind experience. Peter was extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. We went after it snowed and it was such a magical scene. Most of the trails were closed due to the snow and Peter was able to give us other options to experience.

I had the best experience going on the Yosemite tour, what an incredible day with so many highlights! Our tour guide Calder was the best, very kind, very knowledgable of the area and is an excellent driver. He made sure we had enough time to see everything and made the most of our trip. The breaks were perfectly timed and there was also time to explore on your own. I would definitely book again with this company, you can tell that they have a lot of experience and know how to make it unforgettable. I sure will remember this trip, the sights were unbelievable and we were very lucky with the weather :) I also enjoyed that we could watch a movie about the climbing history of Yosemite on the way back, so fascinating and made the long trip back much more enjoyable. Thank you so much for the experience!

This is a long day, but worth the trip. Caulder was an excellent guide. He was very watchful over everyone in our group. He had lots of information to share. We had awful weather with heavy snow, which required him to put on chains. Through all of this, Caulder kept us informed and led us to have a wonderful day.
