Great day at Yosemite! This was an excellent way to get introduced to the park and all that it has to offer. Our guide Jarrett was awesome and offered insights and recommendations that we used when we explored the park on our own afterwards. Would highly recommend this tour.

The tour was supposed to start at 8:30. We got there on time. 20 minutes later, others arrived who had also booked a tour, but which was supposed to start at 9:00 am. Shortly after 9 o'clock the bus actually arrived and from now on everything was wonderful. Except for the weather. But at least, as in April, the rain and the sun alternated. We could see the highlights. The half Dome, however, was too covered by clouds. We were there on March 30. From 1.4. the redwoods can also be visited. You should take that into account. We got food because the tour lasted over 7 hours. The sandwich was pretty dry. But there were plenty of snacks and water and a banana. Funnily enough, you could plaster it in a posh hotel, in a large hall with a fireplace and on comfortable armchairs. The guide responded to all the questions, had a pleasant voice, It is definitely worth it so that you do not have to drive all this yourself and have to take care of parking. A few small walks we could also take. However, if you stay in the park. No need for the tour. But you have to reserve a year in advance.

Our guide, Grant, is a gentleman full of energy, lots of facts and humor. We had a fabulous tour - just 5 of us on the small bus. We stopped in cool places like the History area in Wawona and the foot of Lower Yosemite Falls, as well as enjoying the Tunnel view and the Valley view photo ops. The stop by the foot of El Capitan near Camp 4 was informative and eye-opening. This was a good way to see a lot in a day, but not feel rushed. The following day, I returned to walk in to the Mariposa Grove (5 miles roundtrip). We were not able to fit everything in (like the Ansel Adams shop and the Natives Museum, and any long walks), but for a one-day, this is the way to go. As snow had been predicted, I was relieved not to need to prove I could drive in snow with chains on, the bus was safe and we had fun. An alternative tour could, perhaps, include Tuolomne Meadows and Tioga Pass, but, once again, this would be an overview tour because hiking those trails is an all day affair.

The tour guide Jarrett really made the experience so enjoyable and stress free knowing we’d see all the great spots, not get lost and make the most of our time. Jarret provided great information and is quite educational along the way. 1000% recommend!

Chad was an amazing operator who kept things interesting as we explored the highlights of Yosemite Valley. He was filled with lots of random knowledge on history, geology, indigenous rights, ecology, among other things. Highly recommend this tour.
