Reviews

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 tour

Paul 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 tour

YINGHSIU 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 recommend

Enrique 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 interest

Karen B., United Kingdom, 09-2008

Our tour to Yosemite was very good as was our guide.Very satisfied

Warren 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 guides

Darryl 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 winter

Susan 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 tour

Maria 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.
