Om denne aktiviteten

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup at your hotel. You'll cross the San Francisco Bay Bridge en route to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, driving through gold rush towns as your guide carries you back to the era of the old West.

In the late morning, enter Yosemite National Park where you'll take a guided walk. Visit the Tuolumne Grove (weather permitting) and be amazed by the size of the redwood trees in Yosemite's largest grove. Let the serene surroundings of the forest recharge your energy. Stop at the “Fallen Monarch” and "Grizzly Giant" and walk through the “California Tunnel Tree” to get a close-up look at Mother Nature's wonders.

Continue your journey through Yosemite with a stop at Inspiration Point for a bird’s-eye view of the whole valley. Gaze up at the massive granite formations of Half Dome and El Capitan, watch for rock climbers as they daringly make their way to the summit. In the springtime, marvel at the tallest waterfall in the park, Yosemite Falls.

After, you may explore Yosemite Valley on your own. For lunch, enjoy a picnic next to the Merced River or visit one of the restaurants at Yosemite Lodge (own expense). With an additional 1 – 1.5 hours of free time to spend, you can engage in a variety of activities available within the park. Hike to one of Yosemite's waterfalls and perhaps spot a black bear; rent bikes for a leisurely cycle on the flat bike paths throughout the valley; cool off in lovely river pools in summer; or simply relax at the Valley Visitor Center or peruse the Ansel Adams Gallery — sure to inspire any amateur photographer.

When it's time to head back to San Francisco, sit back and enjoy the scenic ride through the Sierra Nevada and into the sunset.

Please note: The weather in Yosemite is highly variable and includes rain and snow in winter and high temperatures in summer. The itinerary may be adapted to make the most of Yosemite during different seasons and times of the year.

The Giant Sequoias are best visited between May and October. During the rest of the year, snow and ice conditions may prevent access to roads and trails. In this event, other activities may be substituted in its place.

It was a wonderful day trip from San Francisco. Josh, the guide was super enthusiastic and drove very well. Managed time extremely well. His tips on seeing stuff was superb. Overall, a very well designed tour. Seeing the granite cliffs of Yosemite is an experience.

The park is great with a lot to see. I didn't like the manner of which the driver/guide took us through the places we visited on the tour.

Our small group booked mini bus turned into a 54 seater coach which appeared an hour late at the allotted meeting point. Christophe the guide was an irritant throughout the trip with expressing his political views from Greece thru to current TPotUSA, hope and some stuff about our tour. The Sequoia part of the trip disappeared like a Brazilian rain forest. We raced past some tees with the guide shouting out sequoia, sequoia, sequoia, pine, pine before we got to Yosemite valley for a very quick stretch of the legs (two and half hours, instead of the promised 4.5 hrs) getting back on the coach for a hair rising (over the speed limit) drive back to SF. I will be posting a more through review on trip advisor in next week, there's lots to write about and none of it good. Rip off trip!

Easy way to experience yosemite when you're on a tight timeline. Yosemite was absolutely beautiful. Denise was a very informative and detail oriented tour guide.

Great day! Jacob did a great job driving the steep curvy roads while giving out a lot of history of the area. The walk to see the large trees was very strenuous and I didn't feel that enough time was given. I'm not sure the climb was worth the view. Trees in Muir Woods were much more impressive.

This trip was a torture to me. First of all I was picked-up late and when I raised my concern to the driver who picked me up from hotel, he didn't care at all and was very rude. I have a similar experience with the receptionist as well when I called her and raised my concern. Then the driver and tour guide only showed one fall in that park, so, it was a disaster trip.

A long but worthwhile day overall. The weather is the catch so choose your dates wisely, If you want to see the sequoia stand then go later than mid spring for a better chance. The trip through Californian farm land is very interesting.

Incredible scenery and a necessity if you have the time. Fantastic, informative and enthusiastic tour guide. But a long day with an early start for the grumpy teens in your party.

The tour was fantastic, but don't expect to get back to San Fran till 9:30 -10pm. I was told I would get back at least by 8-8:30. This was disappointing, as this meant I missed a dinner with friends that I hadn't seen in over 2 years. The lateness was not because of traffic.

The Park is incredible - a must see. I was so lucky to see it whilst there was snow - so beautiful. Definitely worth the long day. Bus was a little rough though - suspension needs attention!! And there wasn't free wifi on the bus as advertised.

It’s amazing adventure to see giant sequoia trees, once in a lifetime experience. Long trip is worth to see this beautiful environment.
