5.00The best way to experience Yosemite for the first time! Phil, our driver and tour guide was great. Worth the cost! The van was clean and air conditioner worked well. They provided water and snacks, which was nice. Sit back and enjoy all the best stops without hassle or stress.
Wonderful tour!

5.00Wonderful tour! Jarrett was a fantastic guide and a gave us information we would not have gotten if we did Yosemite on our own. He even spotted climbers on El Capitan for us and believe me that wasn’t easy. It was a great way to see the highlights of Yosemite in one day without having to drive the curvy roads ourselves so we could relax, enjoy all the sites and not worry about parking. We had enough time at the stops to take pictures and explore and were able to take short hikes at a few. We highly recommend this tour!

5.00The Discover Yosemite small bus tour was perfect way to maximize a limited amount of time to spend in the park. Stops varied from some short photo ops to several significant durations that allowed for light hiking and the opportunity to get up close to the scenery. Our guide, Jarrett, was incredibly knowledgeable and has a relaxed nature that added to our enjoyment of the experience! Given the expanse of the park, don’t expect to see everything, but the tour gives a great overview of many significant highlights!
Excellent tour…must experience firsthand

5.00We had an amazing experience. Chad was fabulous and has so much knowledge of the area! So many spectacular sights. Chad even helped us find rock climbers on El Capitan. Incredible sight!
Great option for a one day visit to the park without lots of walking involved.

5.00It was easy for guests to see Yosimite without having to walk long distances. Having the lunch prepacked was nice. I also liked getting picked up at the hotel. It's a great option if you only have one day to visit the park. I might would have enjoyed more commentary as we drove but it was a good experience.
