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 to 6 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.

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.

The event itself was really good. The breakfast stop is quick, the same for the evening, so no loss of time, it was perfect. Bring your lunch, yes, but you have a fast food restaurant during the long walk to the falls. December/January might not be the best time but it was quite an experience.

Wonderful experience, tour guide gave a little history about SF and the surrounding areas on the drive down! So many photo opportunities provided, a lot of free time allotted. I wanted ro experience Yosemite will on my travel nursing experience and thought I couldn’t without a car. So happy to have found this website

If you're short on time, but have a strong desire to visit Yosemite, this tour is the perfect solution. Without the hassle of driving, you are taken to the main points of the park and have time to stroll in peace. The drive to and from San Francisco is long, but it's worth it!
