Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco
Overview
Available languages
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*.

Yosemite in a day

5.0This was a great full day tour of Yosemite that included stops at El Capitan, Half Dome, and waterfalls. Kurt was an amazing tour guide whose driving and knowledge were exemplary. The driving bit is important when you’re spending six hours on the bus over twisting and turning roads. The bus was very comfortable and I always felt safe. There are videos on Yosemite and rock climbing to pass the time. The hike down to the sequoias in the snow was a bit strenuous for me, but I’m out of shape and haven’t hiked in years. But I made it and it was well with it to see Big Red. Kurt supplied crampons and water and there are walking sticks for use at the top. I’m sure it’s much easier without the snow. Kurt had boundless energy even though it was a 15 hour day and made sure everyone who wanted pictures taken had pictures taken. I highly recommend this tour if you are in the area and want to see some of Yosemite’s most famous sites.
Friends, you should hope...
