This was a very long day. We were squashed into a van, but it was worth it! There were beautiful sights, and all the trees were amazing. The best time of year to visit is May.

The day began when the guide arrived at our hotel to pick us up. Our guide was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable, he provided commentary on all interesting items on the way to Yosemite and knew a great watering hole on the way! The journey there was filled with beautiful vistas and many places of interest, but nothing could prepare us Brits for what we had in store for us at Yosemite. Our first view of the valley was absolutely breathtaking - we had never seen anything to compare with it. The vastness and scale of the geographical features in the park are unbelievable, and our guide took us to all the best features, stopping many times along the route to allow us to walk to a waterfall, take pictures, or gaze at the local flora and fauna of which he was extremely well informed. He was always ready and able to answer our questions as well as provide stories of interest. We were lucky enough to encounter a bear at a safe distance. The giant Sequoia trees grove was well worth the long downward trail - even the breathless return back up the sloping trail! We enjoyed the history of the place, especially its Native American history, and were lucky enough to meet a woman making traditional baskets in the museum. It is difficult to describe the outstanding beauty and magnificence of the park; it simply has to be experienced first hand. A memorable day which we will never forget. Don't miss it!

We had a wonderful day out of San Francisco. The tour guide was entertaining and knew her subject. It is a long day, but definitely a must-do. Yosemite is awesome!

A fabulous tour. Long day but absolutely worth it, a bit cosy in the van, but we had a great driver. Definitely make sure you do this trip even if you do no others.
