Denise was a great guide, I'd visit the park with her anytime again. She gave us nice tips including photo ideas and interesting facts, I loved that she didn't rush us and I'd like to nominate her for the Best Driver award.. Those small roa..ds up and down the mountain - I mean WOW!!!! Beautiful park, if you have only one day for this, I'd definately recommend it, even if one gets really tired by the end of the day. I think we made the most of it. Look out for the bears! ;)Read full review
I had no idea how much I would enjoy my Yosemite hiking/camping adventure! Our tour director (Robert) was a real gem. He made every effort to ensure that our adventure was a truly amazing experience. I now have memories of my Yosemite visit.. that will stay with me forever. I have been telling all of my friends that they are definitely missing out if they haven't yet booked a adventure with your tour company. Thank you so much!!Read full review
Our family of three was on this tour in August 2017, and we are very happy that we went on it. It's very intense, with early starts and long bus rides but places we visited were worth it. We would like to commend our guide Chris and bus dri..ver Jason for impeccable running of the tour. All aspects of it - transportation, food, activities, accommodation- were organized at high level. We liked the hotels except practical but rather 'tired' room in Reno and overly extravagant room in Las Vegas. Thanks to the company and all our fellow travelers for creating nice memories about this trip. The tour can definitely be recommended to everyone who wants to see the best places of this part of USA.Read full review
The driver was difficult to understand. I understood maybe half of what he said. Others on the bus agreed with me.
Why tell us something is up ahead or on the right or on the left and drive too fast for us to actually see it?
Bay crui..se was much better, with good narration. Very long line to get on boat - not a good thing.Read full review

Generally we were happy with what we got from what we had paid for in this trip. The following are a few suggestions that could have made our trip more enjoyable:
1. shorter bus time: Our daily bus time was from 6 am or 6: 30 am to at lea..st 9:30 pm.
2. longer sleep time: Our daily sleep was about 5.5 hours only. We woke up before 5 am in order to get on the bus on time and arrived at our hotels after 9:30 pm either before or after dinner.
3. longer meal time: Each of our meal time was so short and so rush that many co-passengers had no time to sit down for meals but had to pack to eat in the bus to avoid lateness.
4. the interpretation on points of interests by the tour guide be increased: the voice could be clearer and louder, too.Read full review
I took a tour earlier this same trip with the same company and luckily got the same guide as last time, so my pick-up and transfer went super smooth. We got out of the city fast despite the traffic from Pride weekend and reached Muir Woods ..in a blur. We had about 2 hours there and it was the perfect amount of time to follow the different hiking trails, talk to the ranger guides, explore the gift shop, and get lunch. Our guide let us know the exact time to meet back up and everyone made it back early, so we left promptly.
At our guide's suggestion I got off the bus at Sausalito and was easily able to get a ferry ticket back to Fisherman's Wharf with his instructions. Luckily the weather had cleared up by then and I got to enjoy a sunny afternoon in Sausalito - plus the ferry took us right by Alcatraz!Read full review
Excellent tour, what a beautiful place. Highly recommended next time I'll stay overnight. The tour guide Gino was so nice, he was funny and helpful. Kids loved it
