Knowing we were going to be taking off for a 14 hour day with 8 hours in a shuttle felt daunting. That we saw the weather forecast .. rain and snow much of the day. Well as Minnesotan's we felt we couldn't bail on not so great weather so we started our day. The first portion was wet and cold and too overcast to see much but Phil, our amazing guide, hung on and got creative with our schedule so that we were still in the valley when the clouds finally broke. After so much frustration and cold we finally saw Yosemite in all her glory. Man was that all worth it! Thank you Phil for an absolutely wonderful and crazy day!!

I have always wanted to go to Yosemite and I've also always wanted to go to san Francisco. Time is tight! So this was perfect for me to be able to do both in the same trip and not have to take care of any logistics myself! This tour has my highest recommendation. Yosemite is like nothing else. Simply amazing and jaw dropping. Our guide was fabulous and hilarious and I would abselutely book this again next time I'm out west.

Amazing tour
