This was a great day trip tour to Yosemite. Our tour guide Joseph and driver Mei were great. Joseph was very friendly and had so many facts about San Francisco and every location along the way to Yosemite. The park was literally empty when we arrived and the weather was beautiful for November and overall the time spent in the park was more than enough to see everything that we wanted. It was the perfect segue for our trip from Medford, OR to LA via the PCH. This popped up when I was searching for info on Yosemite as we had planned to drive there and back from San Francisco ourselves with no idea where we should go. This day trip was the perfect way for us to see what we wanted and keep to our tight schedule. The pick up and drop off point was literally a couple of blocks from our hotel so very convenient. The driver Mei was very friendly and provided a great, safe drive and knew which routes were best to take. He stopped ample times to let us take pictures in the best light. Overall a great experience. I would highly recommend! Thank you Gray Line!

Alex was a great tour guide. Bus didn’t have a mic which made it hard to hear at times and one of the screens for the movie wasn’t working but overall a great guide and good amount of time in the park.

On time. Bus quality was good. Guide was excellent - gave us very good commentary on Yosemite - also helpful with photographs.We had to pick up cold packed lunch - probably a hot lunch option at Yosemite would have been better.
