Tagesausflug von San Francisco zum Yosemite-Nationalpark

Leider hat der Hotel Pick Up nicht funktioniert. Aber ansonsten war der Ausflug echt super.
Man verbringt zwar viel Zeit im Bus im Verhältnis zu der Zeit die man im Park hat. Aber der Busfahrer Chabli war sehr nett und lustig und hat die Busfahrt sehr angenehm gestalltet.
Der Park selbst ist absolut sehenswert und es ist schade das man nicht mehr Zeit dort verbingen kann, allerdings hat der Tag einfach zu wenig Stunden. Wer also nicht nur einen Überblick haben will, sollte dort übernachten und mindestens einen ganzen Tag dort planen.

Wij zijn teleurgesteld in wat de reis ons bood. Allereerst waren wij al voor 6 uur op de vertrekplaats, want de bus zou om 06.30 vertrekken en we moetsen een 1/2 uur van te voren aanwezig zijn. De bus vertrok pas officieel om 07.00. Van de beloofde WIFI was geen sprake. In het park hebben we geen sequioa´s gezien, misschien hadden we de verkeerde reis geboekt. Doch de andere reis ging ook naar Captain´s Hill en de watervallen en kan dan onmogelijk in die tijd nog naar het Sequoia Park 45 mijl verderopzijn gereden. (vgl. onze gids).De geboekte lunch was matig en ondanks dat het onderweg was door gegeven, moesten we erg lang wachten. zonde van de tijd

It was a very great trip in Fall period, I wish I could have more time to explore more. 3 hours free time is really not enough but good for just surveying all the places. I would reccomend 2-3 days to have more free time to enjoy in each spot. The space on the bus is comfortable and clean. The big windows on the bus is great for enjoying good view along the trip.

Our bus driver Ray was great, very patient and professional, made several photo stops. There are free shuttles buses in the park, you can hop on and hop off to check some interesting places. Be prepare for 4 hours to ride one way, but it is interesting road.

I had heard so much about Yosemite National Park, that I wanted absolutely the best when I went for the first time. And Gray Line did not disappoint. Right from the start, the tour was well-planned. The bus was comfortable and everything worked as expected, except for maybe the internet, but that was not a problem for me.
The tour was timed just right so that I did not feel exhausted. It covered the most important parts of the park that can be expected in a day.
Antonio was our tour guide and I could tell he is extremely passionate about his work. He was pleasant, helpful. He knew so much about the history of the park and the surrounding places. While going from San Francisco to Yosemite, he told us interesting facts about the various places and also shared his personal experiences. He stopped at the right time to ensure we were not bored. He made the touristy stops while heading to and heading back from the tour so that we clicked all the important places. Easily the best tour I have ever had and would definitely do Gray Line's extended tour of Yosemite.

Outstanding. Super all day tour with plenty of time to view and enjoy Yosemite. Pleasant and knowledgeable guide. Absolutely recommend this tour. Do this tour, well worth it, you wont be disappointed.

We had a pretty kind driver who entertained us though the whole trip. The bus was comfortable, had wifi and charger spots as well. When I first saw the edge o the National Park, I felt very sorry and disappointed as it was burnt down. Inside the Park we had an exceptional view! I hope that the environment would be recover soon.

Wow. that's what i have to say. One of the most amazing views I've ever seen.
All of that, with a comfortable bus, a really nice driver, and with plenty of time to explore this magnificent park. Great value for money.

Our driver did a great job giving history and background of the park and also made additional stops for the some scenic spots (out of the planned trip) which the entire group appreciated. Yosemite is not a park that can be covered in 1 day but this trip gave a good idea of what all is there when/if one plans to go back. I definitely plan to go back for at least 3-4 days to cover more area.

Perfect day trip for me on my own while being part of an international tour group ~ getting in some time for relaxation, rejuvenation, and inspiration at our amazing Yosemite National Park. I packed my own food/drinks for the trip. We stopped half way to Yosemite for a break. Most went to Raley's for food/drink purchases. I went to CVS for motion sickness prevention ideas, bc it was going to get very windy through the mountains from there. The ginger gum worked great for me there and back! We stopped at the same location on the way back. On the tour at Yosemite, the driver took us around to many key spots for photo ops and gave us history and fun facts about each spot. After our tour on the bus, we had several hours on our own.

If you are driving to SF and need a place to park, I recommend using the website ParkWhiz to reserve and pay for your space online for the nearby garage right down the street from the Grayline office. The Post and Taylor Garage is located at 569 Post St. San Francisco, CA 94102. I reserved from 6am - 12am and it cost $28. They were quick to serve while being friendly and helpful with directions. I also gave them a good review online, and will use them again.

When you contact the Grayline office, they will tell you that you can be picked up from participating hotels and will also tell you that you will NOT get dropped back off at your hotel - and instead just walk around SF. (?!! Great customer service! Not! No thank you, Kevin!) BTW: We got back to the Grayline office (which was closed by then) at 10:30pm. No thank you to the ~ just walk around SF ~ by myself at that hour. If you are not driving, and make arrangements to be picked up from a hotel, no worries - from all the reviews I've read and from my experience, the very kind and considerate bus driver/tour guides will make sure to take you back to your hotel location.
