Trevor (our guide) was great, had good communication before the trip and certainly during. He was able to read the bus (our group), there were folks from around the world and the US. He recalled everyone's name and where they visited from. Again, he turned on some music, dimmed lights and allowed folks to rest as we started at 530AM. He was very informative and provided further insight beyond what was provided during onboard movies or in pamphlets. He was patient and knowledgeable about each and every stop, giving sound advice to get the most out of the trip. He was able to avoid the crowds to the extent possible as Yosemite is busy. Trevor was there with water during the hot day, able to point out best restroom, food stop, and photo ops. Yosemite is so massive 1 day doesn't cut it, however, if you only have that time, this tour and Trevor made the best of it. Thank you, Trevor. Good tour and glad I was able to make another visit after not being there since 1989.

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
