Dynamic Duo - We had two excellent drivers, James & Mike, due to the road closure. Even though this unfortunate circumstance made them drive out of their way to do the tour, each man was very polite and friendly on their leg of the tour. We learned lots of information about Yosemite and the surrounding towns. Both gentlemen made us feel safe and comfortable. We would definitely go on a tour with either or both gentlemen again.

Amazing day out! - My family and I had an absolutely amazing day, with our brilliant, knowledgeable guide and driver, Mike S. We saw the most beautiful sites, and Mike was incredibly flexible to any requests we had! It was a perfect day out which we enjoyed immensely - would recommend for any families with teens and young adults, as my sister and I (15/20 years old) found the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable and engaging. A once in a lifetime opportunity which I will never forget! Thank you 💚

Amazing tour with a wonderful guide! - We had a wonderful tour. Our tour guide, Daniel, was so knowledgeable and made this trip a truly enjoyable experience. He taught us so much, not just about Yosemite but also the state of California. Can’t say enough great things about the tour and Daniel.

Excellent - Daniel was incredible and full of useful information. No fluff just facts that pertained to the tour and the local history. The pricing was more than fair considering they handled everything! When we return, Daniel will be required to give us another tour.

Terrible Customer Service - Changed our vehicle from Hummer to Jeep the day before we were set to take the tour. They told us the Hummer was not mechanically sound. This did not work for us because we were a party of four. Jeep would be to small for 4 plus the driver so we canceled and were told we would be refunded. We did not get the refund. We were later told it was because we did not cancel within 24 hours. They sent us an email at 10:18 the morning before our tour was scheduled. Our tour was supposed to start at 7am. That is not 24 hours notice that our vehicle was being changed so how could we have canceled within 24 hours? So we are out $1268 and received no tour. Total scam. They had months to tell us about the vehicle change. Stay away from this scam! I have emails to back up my claims.

Really disappointing day, no AC, awful customer service. - We travelled from the UK and this tour should have been the highlight of our trip, we really stretched the budget for this private tour. The guide was great but unfortunately the Air-conditioning didn't work in the Hummer, with temperatures reaching over 105°f the 5+ hours spent in the vehicle were unbearable, we spent every moment we could trying to cool off our 3 kids of 2,5,and 8 years old in the river at different stops, eventually having to make the decision to head home early. These things happen but should be dealt with, a replacement vehicle sent out for example, but after sending 2 emails to Crossroads and receiving no response I felt I was left no choice to leave this review. Extremely disappointed and our memory of Yosemite is unfortunately tainted by this day. I wish I had avoided, at over $1200 it was a huge waste for us, my 8 year old summed it up on arriving home after the tour, saying 'glad that's over' which ofcourse broke my heart as it was the children I most wanted to enjoy it.
