100% a Pleasant tour, despite expectations not being met

We went on the Yosemite and sequoia tour from San Francisco. Pick up from hotel was on time and convenient, however bus was very basic for a 8hour round trip. We were informed once on board that we wouldn’t be visiting the sequoias, as it.. was winter, this was contrary to the misleading advert, which stated it would be dependent on snow and weather conditions. We felt we could have been informed of this before we were on our way. Our friendly driver wasn’t so much a tour guide, as a chatty bus driver, with a wondering monologue lacking important details. However, as a day trip to Yosemite, it was a convenient tour package to see some outstanding views of key attractions of Yosemite valley. A long day trip, but well worth the excursion for those with limited time. We want to return to really see Yosemite in depth!Read full review
It rained all day, but Anthony made things sunny with his warm, funny personality and vast knowledge about the redwoods, wine and the bay. We were a lucky bus to have such a winning “rainbeau” as our guide!
We had a great day out with Anthony. He really looked after us and it was nice to get away from the city for the day. Sonoma and Napa are both beautiful and the wineries we visited were amazing. Would recommend this tour to everyone and any..one!Read full review
Thank you for an amazing experience and our tour guide Antony made it even better. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family and I would hope they get my same tour guide. Wis..h I could do it all over again! My rainbow nickers has an awesome day Read full review
Eccelleng experince all rouns, very memorable time !!!! Thankyou so much!! Exevllebt fay to go in winter. Weather was crisp but sunny and didnt rain tile we were back on the bus to SF. Minimal crowds, just a few people around. Denise was m..y tour our tour guide for the winter Yosemite Day Tour. She was both very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the Yosemite Day tour. Very well planned day and Denise was able to clearly communicate what we needed to do and what to expect. Always gave very practical information and great tips about how to maximise our experience with the limited time we had. Great photo oops. More time at the Sequoias would have been great as track was icy, but its hard to fit this in with the schedule. Gteat to see snow :) Only improvement to make is so the heating the back of the bus without overcooking the front and driver.. it was only occassionally cold at times at the back, even rugged up. Well worth the long day!! Would recommend. It was great our group o only had 26-30 people each way, allowing some breathing and napping room for such a long bus ride. Other people friendly and great to talk to on trip if you are travelling by yourself.Read full review
Our guide was amazing! Victor was knowledgable, friendly, a good communicator with the group and a really good driver!! We encountered a couple of little problems during the day - visiting during the government shut down meant some facili..ties were closed and rangers were at a minimum & we encountered a traffic crash - but at no point did this worry me as I was sure Victor was experienced and in control! Fabulous day!Read full review
I liked the tour, I liked the guide (victor) hew was very funny and made this trip awesome with his ongoing commentry about the place and and history of california. However, one suggestion to the extranomical tours, Though i liked the expi..renece very much, how about including some Documentries and play them while we are on the road, it will add to the customer experience.Read full review
Denise was an amazing tour guide. Professional, so experienced & knowledgeable, and enthusiastic the whole day. I think the website needs to be mobile compliant for travelers trying to book & pay on smart phones.
