Susan – Spain

Great full day! Our driver Aiden gave us a wealth of information on San Francisco and Yosemite. As it was an early start he allowed us time for a snooze on the way. We stopped half way for a toilet/coffee stop. Adjacent a supermarket. Aiden suggested we get sandwiches etc for lunch, as long queues in Yosemite. This proved to be very true and meant we could find a spot and picnic…much nicer than the fast food cafes…not to mention lunch was a lot cheaper! We had 3 hours in Yosemite and Aidan suggested the best trails to explore, inc the way that takes you close to the Yosemite Falls. It was a lovely experience. The scenery is stunning! Well worth the long trip to and from. A short stop off on the way home and some 80/90’s music to sing along to! Thanks Aiden we had a great day!!

Full description

Escape the crowds of San Francisco on a full-day guided tour to Yosemite National Park. See highlights, including Yosemite Falls and Inspiration Point. Enjoy seamless travel in a bio-fueled mini-coach.

Heading east across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge offers great views of the San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz Island, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Golden Gate Bridge. En route to the park the tour crosses through the Central Valley, where you will stop at a fruit stand for some local produce.

Famous for its rich volcanic soil, the Central Valley is the largest agricultural region in the United States. The section the tour drives through is best known for specialty fruits and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cherries, and strawberries. After this quick rest stop, you will enter the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevadas.

Continuing into the mountains brings you to California gold country and the gold rush town of Groveland before the tour winds its way into Yosemite National Park. On your 1.5-hour narrated coach tour of Yosemite's glaciated valley, you will see famous waterfalls and rock formations including Yosemite Falls, the tallest waterfall in North America.
Continue on past El Capitan, Half Dome, Bridalveil Falls, Sentinel Dome, and much more. During the tour you will see Yosemite Valley from a number of great vantage points, the best of which is perhaps Inspiration Point.

After the tour, you will stop for the afternoon near the base of Yosemite Falls. If you have not already picked up picnic supplies, there are many options for getting lunch in the park. You will have 3-4 hours of free time to explore the valley as you choose.

You can walk to the base of Yosemite Falls, check out the visitor center, visit the Ansel Adams Gallery, stop in at the Ahwahnee Hotel, rent a cruiser bike, or hike some of the trails that originate from the valley. Although you could easily spend 3 weeks in Yosemite, the 3 hours you get on your own is enough time to understand why Yosemite is one of America's most popular national parks.

Includes

  • Yosemite entrance fee
  • Professional guide
  • Comfortable, responsible transportation in a biofueled mini-coach
  • 3 hours of free time to explore on your own
