Overall a fun day because of the location, Yosemite is beautiful, but I feel the trip was mis-sold. It’s more of a self guided tour (you’re essentially paying for the driver) as the tour guide / drivers aren’t allowed to give out tours in a national park. Bus was sold as luxury was poor, we were told it was a one off but poor. The driver was also 20 mins late to pickup. The driver was very nice and did all she could but it was her first day and felt she was out of here depth. I would definitely recommend going to Yosemite and feel the time spent there was adequate but I’m sure there are better tours out there.

It was a horrible trip. Before describing what happened, I should first clarify that, thanks to the driver, it was a little better, but the company's organization was terrible. They picked us up 20 minutes late, and the tour was all by bus, with about 30 people who were not required to be punctual at the stops, and it was chaotic. The bus was old and uncomfortable. The company was incredibly disorganized all day, and they didn't know who was on the bus and who wasn't. In short, it was a disappointment and nothing like the description of the activity. Of course, Yosemite Park is incredible and worth visiting under better conditions.

+ good communication with tour provider, Extranomical + snacks and drinks onboard + tour guide, Glenda was great. Very approachable. Shared her stories and experiences. Safety was priority. On time departures from stops. Necessary information shared to the group. - need longer time during stops to explore the park. ( stops in Yosemite falls, El Capiran, Sequoia) - some of great views like the falls can only be seen from the bus and did mot stop. Photos/ videos were not that good when taken from a moving vehicle. And all views were picture-worthy. - the food and toilet stops going could have been reduced or shortened to have more exploration time at the park. - pick up was late but we were informed. - the drive going took almost 5H. Pick up time was 0640 and I checked the time when Glenda said we were officially in Yosemite @ 1120 but first stop was still 15-20 min away. - stop in Sequoia felt rushed when this needs more time to hike down to the trees and going back was all uphill.

It was so goooood! Andy is seriously the best tour guide, so kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Only downside of the trip was that the bus was really hot. The AC stopped working in the back of the bus so it just got a little too hot.
