We’ll be back. Ask for Julie!! - Visited all the historic places. Stopped at all the scenic views. Julie was very knowledgeable about the park and all the hiking and adventures. We especially liked her sharing her telescope with us to spot rock climbers on El Capitan. Definitely an extra bonus. Lunch was plentiful and delicious. We really enjoyed having a smaller group and ample space on the bus.

Yosemite tour in April was great! - Our family of 4 adults and 2 kids (under 12) used Crossroads for a full-day tour of the Yosemite Valley. Julie was our driver, picked us up at our VRBO in a new Mercedes tourist van. Julie was friendly, great with the kids, fun-loving, enthusiastic, helpful, and knowledgeable. She provided maps and other references, soda, snacks and an excellent lunch in the most beautiful place in the world -- what could be better?

Valley Floor Explained - We had an excellent experience with JAMES. Very knowledgeable and great spirit. He took my family of 10 on a tour of the valley floor. We elected the shorter 2 hour tour but could easily have spent the day with James. Thank you James and Crossroads tours for validating why it's good to hear from a guide who can share and explaining things about the park that you might not get otherwise. A sincere thank you, to Great Uncle James - Your adopted family for a few hours.

Fabulous Yosemite Private Trip - Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. He was born and raised in the area and has a long family history of settling in the Oakhurst area. We very much enjoyed his stories along the way! We has many many photo opportunities as he knew the exact spots where to get the best shot! The bag lunch was absolutely delicious! We were not able to get to Glacier Point due to road closure but we made up the time visiting other points of interest. We had booked the trip for a Sunday but rain was predicted for that day so on Friday I called the office late in the day and asked if it was possible to change to Saturday (the next day!). Owner called back a few hours late and said he was able to get us our private trip for Saturday! Terrific customer service. Great experience all around! Highly recommend it!

A fantastic day in Yosemite - We were first time visitors, had only one day and the risk of needing chains so we opted for a private tour out of Oakhurst. There was no need for chains but it was a fantastic day which we will never forget. Our guide was very knowledgable without being over the top and he planned the day in such a way that we got to see everything that could be seen in the Valley that day - all this without ever feeling rushed. Lunch was excellent. A great option for those with limited time.

Awesome tour - Kathleen was our driver and your guide. She was very experienced, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The your took us to all the key sites at Yosemite and we were given sufficient time to walk the areas and get pictures. The trip took us almost 11 hours since it included Glacier Point however it was the best way to see everything and not have to deal with parking. We would highly recommend this your and Kathleen.

Great guide - Brian was the perfect guide. Lots of local knowledge, good conversation, and he was versatile. It was a challenging day -- lots of snow and cloud, but he still made it a day to remember. He was kind and considerate to us who wanted to walk, and another person with us who was less mobile. Visit to a quirky coffee grinder and roaster on the way back was a great bonus!
