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.

The tour takes you to the yosemite, that takes around four hours. They leave for you just for two hours there then you take another four hours to return. It is too expensive for just the return bus tour. Two hours in yosemite is nothing you cant see enough. I strongly recommend not joining the tour, rent a car and arrange your time yourself.

ITINERARY

One of the great natural wonders of the world, Yosemite National Park and its spectacular valley have an unforgettable impact on everyone who visits. Travel from San Francisco through California's agricultural Central Valley and into the Sierra Foothills where 49ers panned for gold. Follow the beautiful Merced River to the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains. Glaciers cut through these mountains forming the spectacular granite monuments you will see throughout the park, including breath taking waterfalls and Half Dome.

7am-8:30pm (approximately 13.5 hours)

Take in some of the most breathtaking sights California has to offer in this one day tour departing San Francisco to Yosemite National Park. Travel in comfort on a coach bus and enjoy a rest stop in the Central Valley where you can take an opportunity to grab a picnic lunch to enjoy in the park! Upon arriving to the National Park Entrance, take a scenic drive through the park and enjoy a photo stop at one of Yosemite Valley's most famous viewpoints overlooking the entire Yosemite Valley, Bridalveil Falls, El Capitan, and Half Dome.
