Begin your Yosemite National Park day tour by getting picked up at select San Francisco hotels. Cross the Bay Bridge and drive through the Central Valley to the town of Oakdale where you will stop for a short break. Start your day in the park at Tunnel View. Then, go to Bridalveil Falls for a quick walk to the base of the roaring waterfall. Next, proceed onto Half Dome and Yosemite Falls. After, enjoy some free time where you will get a chance to picnic at the base of Yosemite Falls, by a river, or in a granite-enclosed meadow. Chances are high that you will see rock climbers in the spring or fall, bears in the summer, and spectacular ice formations in the winter. After regrouping, head to El Capitan, the center of the rock climbing universe. Depending on the season, you may see some climbers on the rock, but they will appear smaller than ants on the 3000-foot (914 meters) rock. Enjoy a photo stop at Valley View and then head to the Tuolumne Grove to take a one-mile (1.6 km) hike to see a grove of 1500-year-old giant sequoia trees. Please note that the hike to the sequoias may not be available during the snow season. After the hike, head back to San Francisco with a restroom stop along the way.

We were able to see so much in the time that we had. Sharon was amazing and it was brilliant to be part of her group. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Yosemite and the national park, a great photographer when we wanted photos taken of us and an all round friendly and attentive individual. Great trip and well worth it!

Well, it’s not cheap but still worth the money. A super smooth and interesting trip to Yosemite. Transportation: convenient and spacious VAN Stops: enough stops to buy food and go to the restroom Guide: Peter was a great guide and explained a lot of details about Yosemite and the regions around including the gold rush, agriculture and recent developments. Detailed explanations of El Capitan and other famous rocks and the rock climbing involved Yosemite: breathtaking views with amazing weather.
