Enjoy free, unique foreign language audio guides with geo-based content that functions without the internet post-download.

Additional Info

Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller

Service animals allowed

Public transportation options are available nearby

Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

Between November and March, when the trail is not safe due to snow and ice accumulation, we substitute the hike with additional time in Yosemite Valley.

The Giant Sequoias Grove is located at a higher elevation and the hike is dependent on trail conditions, especially from October through May. Ice and snow might make the trail unsafe to hike. The decision of whether it is safe to go on the hike will be made on a day by day basis. Therefore, a visit cannot be guaranteed. However, while the trail might be closed, guests get to spend more time in Yosemite Valley. There you can see all the other great sights Yosemite has to offer, including El Capitan, Inspiration Point, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls and more.

As tour sizes vary, transportation is in a 15-passenger van or up to a 40-passenger tour bus

Tour makes stops at approximately 8:30am for breakfast, 1pm for lunch and on the trip back for dinner. Meals are not included

For hotel pickups, please select the Hilton Union Square if your hotel is not listed

California law requires tour guests to bring a car safety seat for all children under 8 years and under 4' 9" (1.4 meters) in height. Any guest that does not provide their child's safety seat at the time of the tour and does not inform the tour operator may not be allowed to board the tour and will not be subject to refund.

    Absolutely amazing tour! It’s a long day but you get to see and experience so much. David was a wonderful tour guide and was very informative. We learned so much about Yosemite, its history through to today. We got to stop and witness the most beautiful scenery! I completely recommend this tour. Hopefully you’ll be lucky enough to have David as your guide!

    This tour was awesome—it covered all the must-see spots in Yosemite without the headache of hunting for parking. Our guide, Glenda, was amazing! She shared so many cool facts about the park that we didn’t know. Even after a full day of driving, chatting, and keeping us on track, she was just as upbeat as she was in the morning. Plus, the snacks and her upbeat attitude were a big bonus. Highly recommend this tour and can’t wait to visit again!

    Yosemite was beautiful, but not enough time allowed at the park. The driver was also providing commentary. He seemed to be providing good information but it was often hard to make out due to a combination of noise from the air conditioning and his accent. We spent many hours on the tour on the coach.
