Tour van 2 dagen naar het Yosemite National Park vanuit San Francisco

Mitch our guide was wonderful Yosemite National Park is amazing. It is totally worth it! Can't wait to go back.

Ten eerste is Yosemite een must, je moet gaan. En ga minimaal 2 dagen om het volledig te ervaren. Speciaal voor de tour was dit ok. Het was meer een chauffeur dan een gids. Voor het geld dat we betaalden, waren we enigszins teleurgesteld. De gids was leuk genoeg, maar een heel rare stijl. Ongelofelijk indirect en sarcastisch. Bij vragen als "welke berg is dit" zou zijn antwoord zijn: ik heb je een kaart gegeven, waarom kijk je er niet naar. Of waar lopen we vandaag? Zijn antwoord zou zijn dat we gewoon rondlopen om wat dingen te bekijken, kijken hoe het gaat. Dit hielp echt niet bij het plannen van onze dag met voedsel, water enz. En eindigde met te veel uitgeven, omdat we vervolgens stopten voor maaltijden nadat we de instructie hadden gekregen om voedsel in de supermarkten te kopen. We konden ook Giant Seqoias of glacial point niet zien vanwege sneeuw - niet de fout van de tour, maar de moeite waard om te weten voordat je boekt. Ik zou dit bedrijf niet nog een keer gebruiken, maar als je krap op tijd bent in San Fran en geen auto wilt huren, is dat geen slechte optie.

Well. This was a truly magical experience. I came to California from Ireland for a 2 week vacation with my wife and children (13 and 10). I rented a car for driving around Los Angeles and getting to San Francisco. I thought about driving to Yosemite also but I had a look online and I made the right decision in booking a tour through viator.com with Incredible Adventures, after doing enough driving myself. Our wonderful guide James picked us up from our hotel in San Francisco at 6.30am and off we went in an Incredible Adventures mini bus. There was no bad seat on the bus with large windows allowing us to see everything that awaited us. We stopped on the way and got stocked up so we could stop for lunch on the way. We had downloaded things to watch on our devices for the journey but we didn't need them for the whole trip. As we made our way to Yosemite it soon became apparent that James was an expert tour guide. He was very informative throughout and it was relaxing for me not to have to keep my eyes on the road for a change, and take in the beautiful drive. The sheer size of Yosemite was breathtaking and our guide told us all about Half Dome, El Capitan and the amazing waterfalls while we took some beautiful treks and stopped for eye-popping photo opportunities. Looking at the waterfalls from a distance was fantastic, but then getting so close to them that the waterfall spray surrounded us was like an out of body experience. Our guide then said goodbye and agreed to meet us in the morning. We then checked in to our hotel in Yosemite Village, and we had time for dinner. James showed us a great place to stargaze from so we spent the evening under a beautiful sky with the sound of waterfalls and wildlife all around us. We had a great sleep with a lovely view of the woods from our window and a waterfall on our door step. A magical emotional day. We had breakfast in the hotel and met our guide James at 9am. He suggested a few options and we decided to go see the Giant Sequoias. Yet again we were not disappointed, and so happy we chose a tour guide for our first trip to Yosemite to drive us to the best spots, tell us all about our surroundings while giving us time to discover Yosemite on our own. It was a winter wonderland in Mariposa Grove and to stand beside these majestic trees was another special experience. We have just left Yosemite and our guide is driving us back to San Francisco as I write this review. I'm sure Yosemite would have still been a great trip anyway but I'm happy to say I made the right decision in putting our faith in Viator, Incredible Adventures, and our expert guide James to enhance the experience, allowing us all to enjoy it, hence this glowing review. Highly recommended!
