Beat the crowds with early park entry and experience more of Yosemite in less time. This year-round tour from San Francisco covers the park’s top highlights—from towering granite cliffs to roaring waterfalls and peaceful sequoia groves.

Spend 5 full hours inside the park, visiting Yosemite Falls, Tunnel View, El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and Valley View. You’ll also enjoy a unique hike through the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias—home to the largest living trees on Earth.

This tour includes free offline audio guides in multiple languages so you can explore with context — even without cell service.

If you want to see more of Yosemite in a single day, this is the way to do it!

Additional Info

    It is long trip. The bus needs cup holders and place to keep your bags. The bus seats were very basic. There is eating place in Yosemite in the lodge. We were stopped at a grocery store for food. Not a place to get eat.Maps are needed for hikes. It is not a guided tour.

    Thank you to David and driver Scott for a brilliant tour. Yosemite is an amazing place to visit with lots of nature and phenomenal views. Tour guide David went out of his way to help everyone and provided water when I felt slightly unwell. Thanks for a great day.

    Overall, a great tour! The agenda was packed due to time constraints, which is expected, but Andy our tour guide still managed to cover the must-see spots. Andy was knowledgeable and ensured we made the most of our time. Sequioa hike kicked our butt hiking back up but glad we did it!
