Full description
Experience both the Yosemite Valley and the Giant Sequoia Walk on this day tour. See why artists and poets have been inspired for generations by the breathtaking sceneries at the national park. Since 1890, the beautiful Yosemite National Park has been the jewel of America's National Parks, possessing some of the best-known landmarks in the world, such as the tallest waterfall in North America, Yosemite Falls. Have 5 hours to explore the stunning national park, and take in the majestic natural wonders, accompanied by a complimentary audio-guided tour. See the spectacular Half Dome and El Capitan, two of the most frequently climbed cliffs in the world. It is also home to several groves of stunning Giant Sequoia trees, the largest trees on earth. The Giant Sequoia Walk is along 1 mile (1.5 km) of paved trail with a 400 ft (120 m) incline, snow depth permitting. Marvel at these giant trees — the largest in the world. In winter, when conditions on the Tuolumne Sequoias Grove trail are snow-covered or unsafe, we substitute this experience with other attractions. On a group tour, view stunning panoramas, go on walks, and even hike a little, before returning to San Francisco. Or if you prefer, upgrade to a private tour for your group only.

Excellent experience, my partner and I had a really good time. Rob, our guide, was very good and authentic, he explained to us not only facts about Yosemite but also curiosities about the city of San Francisco. We were lucky with the weather, it was cool but still sunny, the park was exceptional, landscapes we had never seen and which we will never see again. We were even lucky enough to see a deer cross the road!

The ride is long, but it's worth it. The bathroom wasn't working inside the bus, which was bad (it's a long trip). The guide explained and told a lot of stories, but as I was at the back of the bus I couldn't hear/understand properly. At the end of the tour, he stopped at a place with a wonderful view of San Francisco at night, it was incredible! I recommend!

We loved the tour. There is enough time at each station to take pictures or go hiking at two stops. The national park is worth a trip and this tour covers many different stages of the large park. Our driver Gino provided us with a lot of interesting information and created a pleasant atmosphere. We can only recommend the tour.
