Additional Information

Private Tours can be a budget strain and Bus Group Tours lack a personal touch. We present you with a balanced tour experience. More often than not, you’ll share this experience with just another pair or two. We make it a point to cap the group size at 8 people ensuring a personalized experience. There might be instances where your group might be the only one on the tour, but rest assured, we will carry on with the tour as planned. Our guide will have enough time to cater to each couple individually, so you won’t feel like a part of a massive crowd. The tour, which commences from Fresno or Oakhurst, is an 8-hour exploration of Yosemite National Park that aims to showcase the aesthetics of the Yosemite Valley. Get ready to capture stunning images of Bridalveil Falls, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls and Yosemite’s high country. If it’s anywhere between spring and fall, be prepared to trek down the 4-Mile Trail. Lunch at Ahwahnee, entrance charges, and hotel transfers are included in the package. However, please bear in mind, if you intend to embark on the 4-mile hike, there won’t be enough time for you to enjoy lunch at Ahwahnee. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with a picnic lunch.

  • Glacier Point is usually closed during winter from November to April. Any of the tour highlights may be closed due to weather or construction. We will do our best to show alternative sites.

Perfect option for a first time visit. - Julie was a fantastic guide. It made our experience so much more enjoyable. Her stories and recommendations were “soot on”. And meeting other visitors from across the globe made it that much more enjoyable. Our group was full at 10 people. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a first time visit to use this tour.

Perfect first-time time trip to Yosemite - Our tour guide Daniel was the best. From the time we entered the van for our tour and throughout our tour. Daniel was a wealth of knowledge. He made our first-time trip to Yosemite fun and entertaining. I highly recommend him as a tour guide.

See more and no long lines! - Our driver Laura2 was an excellent driver, which made a low stress tour over the narrow roads. She was with the Crossroad tour company and she had lived in the park for 11 years. She knew all the stops so we never had to use a portable toilet. She knew the history of park and stories that you only would know if you lived in the park. I walk with a cane, but she made the tour so It was easy for me to see everything. I was happy that we choose the semi-private tour. It was me and my husband, a couple from Australia and two ladies from London. Lunch was great.

Perfect - Julie, our tour guide was excellent. Because of her knowledge and willingness to answer questions it made the tour memorable. She gave us time to explore some of the sites after giving us background information. She is excellent at what she does and always had a smile.

The perfect balance - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Yosemite! We had no idea what to expect as first time tourists, so we wanted to get an overview first. This was perfect. The tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and we had a lot of fun with the other people on our bus. I will definitely be coming back in May with my kids now that I know what I want them to experience. This tour was the perfect balance of easy/short hikes, lots of historical information, relaxation— just what a vacation should consist of.
