We had a great day out to Yosemite. It was a very long day but the van was comfortable and we had plenty of stops along the way. Our guide Tom gave us information about the park and the buses etc. so we didnt waste any time having to find out any more details.. However the time spent in the park was not long enough to discover its real beauty. This is not the tour company's fault! If i were to visit again i would definitely take the two or three day tour.Janice S., United Kingdom, 08-2010
Slight confusion about Ride on Ride off bus vouchers, but other than that an excellent service.
The sun didn't shine in San Francisco, but I( guess you folks couldn't do much about that!
Yosemite was wonderful. The van driver Tim was great . He had a great humour.Nice comfy van.Philip D., United Kingdom, 08-2010
This was an excellent tour with plenty of time in the park. Guy H., Australia, 07-2010
The tour was very nice, and timely as far as pick up and drop off from our hotel.Beth F., United States, 07-2010
The bio-desiel van was clean and the ride was pleasant. Compared to the bigger tour buses, this van is cosy for the ride. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgable. Ask any questions about your trip and he'll be glad to answer. Yosemite National Park was amazing! If you only have 1 day at the park, this is the tour to join. The tour guide brings you to a few must-see sights before leaving you to roam the park free-and-easy.Jasmine T., Singapore, 07-2010
We highly recommend Tour Corp. We booked online before we went on holiday to San Francisco. We choose two activities, Muir Woods and Sausalito and Yosemite. We were picked up promptly from our Hotel. The buses were comfortable, air conditioned and exceptionally clean. The guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and witty and made us all feel welcome and helped us to bond as a group. We had a very good experience and cannot thank Tour Corp enough.Neil A., United Kingdom, 07-2010
Yosemite was a spectacular location, Van was uncomfortable for a long journey and our seats were difficult to get out of, when we did we were cramped.
Should have done more walking than try to ride the shuttle bus that runs in Yosemite valley. Yosemite was crowded but worth while visiting.Garry P., Australia, 07-2010
We enjoyed the tour but would have liked the tour guide to have known more information on the park.Robert S., Australia, 06-2010
It was a wonderful day to see Yosemite.Carol June W., United States, 06-2010
Great time of the year to go as the snow was melting and the waterfalls and rivers were flowing fast. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Next time would like to stay overnight.Dianne S., Australia, 06-2010
Jason did a great job of getting us to and from Yosemite. He was very informative about the area. We stopped at a great fruit/veggie stand on the way. Janet S., United States, 06-2010
day was ok, nice driver, and efficient organization. the only problem is being dropped in the crowded central valley and having to rely on the shuttle bus.laura g., Italy, 06-2010
The day trip to Yosemite was well worth it. The length opf time was very adequate for us to see the highlights. The guide certainly provided us with the opportunity to see plenty and we appreciated John's expertise on the area.Mary H., United States, 06-2010
I think our tour to Yosemite was made even more special because of Greg, our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park,its history, flora and fauna. He was clearly a pro at guiding tours.Tom & Alison S., United States, 05-2010
The Tourguide picked us up promptly at our hotel in a beautiful clean minivan. She was courteous had a great personality and made us feel comfortable. She made sure all the people on the tour interacted and were comfortable with each other.
As we traveled to Yosemite she was informative of sites along the way. In Yosemite she stopped at the Right sites to take pictures.. Our pictures are fantastic. It was a long day filled with friendliness, beautiful scenery, sunshine, unexpected snow in Yosemite making the experience even more fun and memorable...Yosemite in falling snowflakes is a rare beauty.
We thank the customer service telephone representatives who took the time and interest to answer question, book our reservation, confirm when we called back later just to make sure....then reconfirm 48 hrs prior to tour. We thank the Tour Guide who made this day PERFECT!
WE HAVE RECOMMENDED TOURCORP TO OUR FAMILY OF CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, EXTENDED OTHER FAMILY AND FRIEND. WE WOULD TOUR WITH YOUR COMPANY ANYWHERE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE.
Doris S., United States, 05-2010
The day tour by minibus was superb & our guide, Greg,was extemely knowledgable & provided a huge amount of excellent information on every aspect of the journey & visit to Yosemite(including from where to buy the best picnic sandwiches en route). My adult daughter & I were visiting various cities on west coast USA & this tour was one of the most memorable days of our holiday, particularly assisted by the entertaining commentary provided by Greg. Janet D., United Kingdom, 05-2010
The tour is everything upto our expectation. Very comfortable van.TAI M., Hong Kong, 05-2010
Great day, friendly and competent guide.Marion O., Germany, 05-2010
Good ExperienceSharmishtha G., United States, 05-2010
An amazing day trip which gives a good taster of Yosemite. John, our tour guide was very good, pointed out some fantastic sites and clearly knew very much about this wonderful place. shane b., United Kingdom, 04-2010
Yosemite is an awe inspiring place. Our guide was both knowledgeable and friendly, he is very passionate about the park and strives to share the wonder and beauty of Yosemite with his tour group. Jeffrey H., Australia, 04-2010
Our guide was thoughtful and patient. Without our asking for it, he took us to supermarkets and eating places before and after our destination so we could purchase lunch and dinner and have a rest stop. He waited patiently for 2 of our parties, who were late in returning to our meeting place at Yosemite and didn't get upset at them. He was really laid back!Louise C., United States, 03-2010
Yosemite was even better than expected.
Guide absolute mine of information with real sense of humour and related well to guests.
Was good balance between guided tour and free time.
Guide interested in us having a good time.Graham H., United Kingdom, 03-2010
Our tour guide, Mitch, was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable in answering our questions not only about Yosemite but on the way there and back. In addition to seeing many Yosemite sights, we felt like we also had a Central Valley tour. An excellent day! Highly recommend!!!Susan W., United States, 02-2010
Very good tourPaul L., United Kingdom, 01-2010
While the park was exquisite , we were given a short time and not very clear details of enjoying the best the park has to offer. Rushed hours in the park is not a very pleasant experience, esp when we were left with just rough guide to turn left turn right . disappointing.francesca d., Singapore, 12-2009
It makes for a very long day, but the schedule is broken down in a way where it makes it easy to get through it. Loved our guide (Michelle ?); not only was she knowledgeable and of excellent company she was also an excellent and safe driver.Anik R., Canada, 10-2009
Our driver was friendly and informative, and a very safe driver. He was clear about meeting times and locations. We had a great day and would highly recommend this tour.Lyndall R., Australia, 10-2009
A wonderful opportunity with a guide who was informative and helpful.Jean C., United States, 10-2009
It was a wonderful tour. Our tour guide was very professional. I had a really good time!Mamiko H., Japan, 09-2009
Our Guide was Mitch who was absolutely wonderful! He had a lot of patients with the many questions he was asked and handled our diverse group with professionalism and was always courteous. He made us feel welcome and very comfortable, which sometimes being away from home in a van full of strangers can be worrysome. I would go with him on another tour without a question! He seemed to really enjoy his job and we always felt safe. It was an excellent trip, definatley recommend it. Jill J., United States, 03-2009
This one day trip to Yosemite was one of the highlights of our holiday to San Fransico. It really is true if you only have time to go to Yosemite for one day you really shouldn't miss it. We were lucky to go on a beautiful snowy winters day which was breathtaking. Going on the mini van tour was perfect, we had a wonderful, funny and knowlegdeable guide and as we had a small group we were able to spend longer at yosemite. I would definatly recommend you take this trip.Margaret L., United Kingdom, 02-2009
The tour guide was excellent and had a vast knowledge of California and Yosemite. He was able to answer all my questions and carried books for further details on flora and fauna. We stopped at all the right places and at the right times. For example catching the last of the sun on half dome at the end of the day. He was happy to stop when the need arose for refreshments or photos. Best day I have had with a tour guide.Carolyn R., Australia, 12-2008
Very interesting tourYINGHSIU L., , 09-2008
The tour was great, but I would have preferred more time for my self to take photos and join the nature.Andreas H., , 09-2008
Our tour guide Michelle is an excellent guide; very friendly team promoter and concerned about our safety and made sure we were all in tune with each other. Answered all questions promptly enjoys what she does. Definitely recommendEnrique C., , 09-2008
if you only have one day to do Yosemite, then pick this tour as you could spend more time in the park by going with the Biodiesel tour which you need if you want to see a lot of points of interestKaren B., United Kingdom, 09-2008
Our tour to Yosemite was very good as was our guide.Very satisfiedWarren S., , 09-2008
This is a good trip if you only have a day. The park is spectacular. I enjoyed my trip. Good guide!Craig L., , 08-2008
I would have rated question 7 as very satisfied had we had longer time in the park, however the trip was worth doing as Yosemite is spectacular and the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Maureen H., United Kingdom, 08-2008
Had a great day!Jonathan B., Australia, 07-2008
We liked the small group - there were actually only four of us with the guide. The driver/guide had excellent information, used a different return route enabling us to see other things, and was flexible to meet travelers' requests. It is a long day, but we were very happy we saw Yosemite and thought this tour was an excellent way to accomplish this.Michael C., United States, 07-2008
If you have just one day in San Francisco, let alone in California, take this tour instead of walking aimlessly around fisherman's wharf. The views are awesome and swimming in the crystal clear rivers can't be beaten when it's in the 90s!
Mikko P., United States, 07-2008
I did not feel any difficulties for other travelers.Sanae K., United States, 06-2008
mandaleaswar t., India, 06-2008
I really enjoyed this trip, definitely worth the drive from San Francisco.Jennifer B., United Kingdom, 05-2008
Yes it is a long day, the trip up seems to go much faster than the return trip.The scenery you see is spectacular and makes up for the discomfort of the small cramped bus and the long journey. If you are limited for time this one day experience is very worth it. We even got to see a bear.
Our driver Thomas was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable, but the most important thing was that he was a very courteous and safe driver.
A great day!!Shona K., United Kingdom, 05-2008
We enjoyed the trip very much and thought it was a great value considering how far away Yosemite is from San Francisco. Our tour guide (Thomas) did a great job - getting us safely there and back and providing some good information about the surroundings and things to do. Olga D., United States, 05-2008
This was an excellent 'whistle-stop' tour of the park - a 'taster' to make you want to go back and spend more time there. Remember to take a picnic lunch if you don't want to have to eat sandwiches or doughnuts - nothing much else available en route. It's a long journey with not a lot to see until you get fairly close to the park - take your Ipod.Sue S., United Kingdom, 04-2008
nice tour...great tour guidesDarryl M., Australia, 04-2008
An excellent tour that gave just enough time to get a taste of Yosemite. Plenty of stops for photo ops at some of the most stunning scenery I have ever seen. Highly recommended!!stephen p., United Kingdom, 03-2008
The tour itself is very good. The tour guide John, is very considerate, and we made full use of our time in Yosemite.
However, the reservation system is responding very slow. Although it says that I would get the confirmation within 48 hours, I actually got the confirmation after 48 hours.Ying H., United States, 03-2008
myself and my friend enjoyed this trip very much,the guide was very friendly and helpful. just to see a small part of the park was amazing betty d., United Kingdom, 03-2008
The tour was excellently organised and orchestrated. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, enthusiastic and informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone considering visiting Yosemite in winterSusan L., United Kingdom, 03-2008
The tour was excellent - it combined a number of scheduled stops with sufficient free time to "choose your own adventure" meaning that I was able to pack as much into my short time in the park. Add in a comfortable van ride, some great fellow participants and a guide that was knowledgeable and who made the whole day awesome and you could say that I was pretty satisfied with my choice to go on tour with Incredible Adventures.Greg W., Australia, 01-2008
My family and I had a wonderful experience during the tour.Yee Chuan S., Singapore, 12-2007
A great tourMaria R., Sweden, 09-2007
We were very satisfied with the tour. The guide/driver was a very nice person and she provided good service for the whole group. She even helped to solve the logistical problems of some participants of our group which were originally caused by other tour operators.Tino J., Finland, 06-2007
We had an excellent trip and totally enjoyed the whole experience. We loved our guide and found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. It also was a nice group size for a fun and yet educational trip.Jeff C., United States, 06-2007
It was nice to be part of a smaller group. Our tour guide was very personable and enjoyable.Beth M., United States, 06-2007
I found the 1 day tour of Yosemite a first class experience. I couldn't have asked for more, from the point of pick-up, the tour of the park, the guide and the return to my hotel. I wouldn't hesitate the tour to anyone.Brett E., Australia, 05-2007
If it's your first time to Yosemite and you don't have a lot of time, this tour is great for seeing all of the highlights in a short period of time.Sheila S., United States, 05-2007
I thought this was an ideal way to see Yosemite if you don't have a lot of time. Lesley P., Australia, 04-2007
It was one of the most enjoyable tours I've been part of, and not just because of the great destination. The small group size was ideal for personalizing the trip and the guide was great; knowledgeable, friendly and fun.
