Semi Private Yosemite Tour with Ahwahnee Lunch and Hotel Pickup
Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
Private Tour is too expensive and Bus Group tours are not very personal. This is a perfect tour for you. Usually there will be only one other couple or two. We guarantee no more then 8 people on this trip. Sometimes you may be lucky and the only group on the tour and we will still honor our commitment and not cancel the trip. The guide gets ample time to work with each couple one on one and you are not in a herd of sheep. Departing Fresno or Oakhurst, this 8-hour tour of Yosemite National Park covers some of the Yosemite Valley's natural highlights. Capture photos of Bridalveil Falls, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls and Yosemite’s high country, and hike down the 4-Mile Trail between spring and fall. Ahwahnee Lunch, entrance fees, and hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Please note if you plan to do the 4 mile hike there will not be enough time for you to have lunch in Ahwahnee so we will provide you with a picnic lunch. New- Indian Vegetarian Lunch option is available.

5.00You will be getting up early, riding in a van with a bunch of people all day on windy roads( Dramamine is your friend!) and will be traveling for hours. Despite how that sounds book this tour! Our driver/guide Mike was really great. Laconic yet personable Mike had plenty of knowledge and history to share but is not prone to ramble. Our family of 6 took up the majority of seats and we were lucky to share our experience with a lovely couple from MD (Go Ravens!) We started at Glacier Point and moved down into the valley hitting all the main sights-Tunnel View, Bridal Veil, El Cap, The Ahwahnee hotel (Gorgeous!-SO much history!) Yosemite fall, El Cap again-spotting climbers is challenging but Mike was ready with a nice set of binoculars, and we finished the day in Mariposa Grove. Might not sound like a lot but 30 min in each spot then traveling to the next location adds up to make a very full day. Mike was the perfect guide for us. Always aware of where his group was and making sure we knew where the facilities were. A bag lunch is provided with a selected choice of sandwiches-the vegetarian was excellent!-a fresh piece of fruit, small bag of chips and cookies, and water or soda. Plenty of lunch to keep you going. You are welcome to bring your own snacks and water as well. The vehicle was clean and well maintained. Would absolutely recommend if you are new to Yosemite or have only 1 day to spend in the park.
Small great tour

5.00Our tour guide, Laura, did a great job. She treated us more like friends than clients. She was very flexible with our small group which made everything personal. She also added a number of stories about the park completed things for us. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the park for the first time.
Take this tour.

5.00The tour guide was fantastic, not only showed us around but showed us where to go for trails we wanted to hike on our days without tours. The small group experience was fabulous. We met a couple in our age range and time of life and throughly enjoyed touring with them.
Fantastic tour guide.

5.00This was a fantastic tour experience! Our guide, Daniel, was really friendly and so knowledgeable about Yosemite, from its history to the plants and trees growing there. The tour route was really well organised and there were plenty of stops around the park so we got to see the main highlights. The included lunch was lovely. I'd highly recommend booking this tour with Crossroads Tours!
The best way to go!
