What a fantastic and beautiful trip this is. Guided by the excellent Trevor throughout the day we set off from San Francisco and stopped about an hour into the journey for breakfast and to buy lunch.
We then carried on to the park stopping at various sights along the way, all with amazing views. Yosemite is an amazing place and certainly a must place to visit if you have time.
After the park we went to the giant sequoias. These are a sight to behold and enormous trees. The walk back up is tough as there is a steep descent to the main area.
Plenty of water was supplied during the day and the water weather was fantastic.
An amazing trip and one which we will not forget, thanks Trevor for a great day.

Brian picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel front door. Breathtaking only slightly begins to describe the sites at Yosemite, and Brian was extremely knowledgeable on each and every one. We traveled in a small group of eleven and everyone in the group was extremely nice! The tour delivered as promised and more. Brian made the trip feel more like traveling with an old friend instead of a tour. If you want to see the sights in Califonia, then Brian is the man you need to travel with, and Best Bay Tours is your company!!

The natural beauty of the area visited was breathtaking.
The guide’s additional commentary and knowledge of the region was very interesting.
The waterfalls were a special feature for us.
The history of the featured climbers was interesting and gave us a different perspective of the area.

This is a great tour for those who want to see the best views of Yosemite without too much walking. Our guide, Kurt was fantastic and played us a documentary on the bus journey about the climbing history of Yosemite which I really enjoyed. For me personally, I would’ve preferred to have less stops in order to do more exploring on foot. The tour was more about driving around Yosemite and stopping for a few minutes to take pictures of views and then getting back on the bus. This may suit some people, it’s just not my preference. I thought there’d be more free time to explore as it says in the itinerary. There was a nice walk at the end to see the Sequoias. Overall, I would recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful all-day tour of Yosemite National Park. Thank you, Kurt, for being an excellent guide, providing helpful tips and tons of information, and answering our questions. The weather was perfect, which was important to optimizing the experience. Best of all is the overwhelming beauty and majesty of Yosemite. We saw star attractions El Capitan, Half Dome and Yosemite Falls as well as other awesome sights. The videos on the bus ride helped get us in the mindset to better appreciate what we saw.

A long day which started early, but very worthwhile and interesting throughout. We were collected at 06:00 by our driver and tour guide Al (Alfredo) and were on our way after a couple more pick-ups. Al was very friendly and informative from the moment we boarded the minibus, furnishing us with interesting facts and stories about the city of San Francisco. Along the way, Al had knowledge of the route being taken.
There were multiple stops when we arrived into Yosemite to allow us the opportunity to disembark the bus, get pictures and have a short wander. All of the main sights were seen but sadly, we weren’t able to see the giant sequoias due to snow on the route. However, this didn’t detract from what was a memorable day with a nice bus full of people.
Due to the day being very long (departed at 06:00 and returned after 21:00), Al stopped on the way out and on the way back to allow the passengers chance to grab food & drink as needed.
