5.00Our guide, Tyler, knew the park well and drove with fearless determination. He showed us beautiful spots, pointed out climbers on El Capitan (mere dots), knew the geology and botany of the park, and was very friendly. Having Tyler do the driving was worth every dollar of our tour cost because traffic was horrendous! We just sat back and let him worry. The sights are beautiful and are our national heritage.

5.00This was an all day tour of Yosemite. We were picked up at our hotel on time and toured in a very clean comfortable van with a small group. Our guide Jarrett was fantastic! We were able to see a lot of the natural beauty in Yosemite.
Leave the driving to the driver and enjoy the impressive scenery that is unique to Yosemite.

Took us to all the spots that are renown in Yosemite and provided excellent commentary. Lunch provided was great. Would gladly book again. Leave the driving to the driver and enjoy the impressive scenery that is unique to Yosemite.
A must book if you only have a day to experience the park

5.00As someone who had debated on whether or not to drive it myself or book this tour, I have to say this is absolutely the way to go if you just have a day to visit the park. I can honestly say I saw so much more, in a less stressful manner, than had I tried to drive it myself. Tyler was a fantastic tour guide and every element of the trip was quite well done. The lunches provided were a nice quality and very filling for the day. The bus was clean and comfortable and he even had some waters and snacks which gave it that extra elevated touch. His area knowledge was impressive and it certainly helped maximize what you could take in during the day tour.
Breathtaking views with excellent commentary

5.00When visiting the Sierra in early Spring the weather can be unpredictable and you should in theory still carry chains/ cables just in case. In order to avoid any stress, we decided to book with Discover Yosemite for a full-day tour. Honestly, it was the best decision for us. As luck would have it, the weather was perfect and unusually warm on the day of our tour. Discover Yosemite conveniently picked us up from our hotel in Oakhurst in one of their comfortable vehicles that was clean and stocked with water bottles and snacks. Our guide was Grant who lives in the area and grew up vacationing with his family in Yosemite. A short drive along picturesque Highway 41 and we were already in the National Park. Grant's knowledge and willingness to answer questions relating to geography, flora, fauna, Native American and Euro-American history was incredible. We learnt so much more than we would have by reading a guidebook alone. On a practical note, going with Discover Yosemite meant that we were able to park closer to the significant sights (Tunnel View, Valley View, El Capitan etc), and understand what we were actually looking at. Owing to the fact it was a sunny day, the park was busy and I couldn't help but notice how much time was wasted by cars driving around and around looking for parking and inevitably having to park a mile away. The full-day tour gives plenty of opportunities to get out of the vehicle and walk around, take photos, eat, grab a coffee (important for me) and even shop for souvenirs. We would definitely go back to Yosemite NP and definitely book another tour with Discover Yosemite.
A great experience and an incredible ride with unbelievable scenes of Yosemite
