Antonio was our driver and he was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and kept us up to date with everything going on throughout the tour. He went out of his way to ensure our trips were memorable

I went into this with low expectations based on online reviews that complained about it being a long bus trip, not exactly a "tour" of Yosemite, etc. But in actuality, it was completely as advertised. Yes, it's a long trip (5 hours each way including a stop of about 45 minutes), but it didn't seem so bad. Our driver/"tour guide", Chabli, was great and had an awesome playlist of music going.If you go into this with expectation set that you will not see the entire park, and you will have about 3 hours to do on your own in Yosemite Valley, then it really delivers well.

Glaciers cut through these mountains forming the spectacular granite monuments you will see throughout the park, including breath taking waterfalls and Half Dome.
