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.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Daniel! He was very knowledgeable, very professional and a lot of fun! and gave is a great history of the park. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great time and get to see all the wonderful places that are included on the tour - and provided more details along the way! Thank you Daniel, for being very accommodating and for making this a memorable trip for us! We enjoyed the lunch at Ahwahnee hotel, the staff ans the food was excellent as well - To the tour operator and Viator, thank you for resolving the confusion about the lunch credit - your quick reply and resolution was incredible! We’ve used Viator on both international and local trips, and had always a great experience with them!

3.00Tour started almost 1 hr. after scheduled time. Van broke down, had to get jump start from another park visitor in the park. Tour operator did not make reservations for lunch and the Awahnee was busy, so lunch took up 2 1/2 hrs while we waited for everyone to finish. The tour operator did not cover lunch, but gave a $30 pp credit, which doesn’t go far at the Awahnee, so it should not be advertised including lunch. We did not see everything promised. Driver was very nice and seemed knowledgeable about the sights we did see.
A great way to see the sites in Yosemite park

5.00A comprehensive tour of Yosemite covering a number of the must see sites. Daniel our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the park as well as local information. He also showed us great photo points and angles. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00All day tour highlights of Yosemite with Dan the remarkable, knowledgable guide in a comfortable van with the maximum six other participants. Very personable, participatory experience. Near constant narration of not just what you are seeing, but how it fits in the history of the park. Educational and very entertaining.
