Beautiful Sightseeing & Amazing History! - This trip we had limited days to be in the Park and thought a tour would be a great way to catch the highlights and learn a bit too. We found Crossroads Tours through the Trip Advisor app. There are several companies available but we chose Crossroads because of the small group size limits - max 12. Our group was six which was wonderful.
My husband and I are both in our 60's and have lived in California most of our lives. Each of us have been to Yosemite many times, but this was the first time either one of us had been on an organized tour. Our guide Daniel was born and raised in the Yosemite area and his family has been in the area for generations so he has a lot of historical knowledge and personal stories to share. We are history aficionados and we were delighted with all the new things we learned about Yosemite and California history too!
We highly recommend touring with Crossroads Tours for first time visitors to Yosemite and seasoned visitors who want to learn more about the unique history of Yosemite!

Listening to our guide... - Listening to our guide Daniel who is a wealth of information was definitely the highlight of our day. The back seat of the car was a little tight for 3 adults, but we made it work.

Mike was good - Mike was good! He was able to explain all the crucial facts and points of Yosemeti National Park. He even suggested us to watch the movie Free Solo, which was based on Mountain Climbing.

Great tour of Yosemite - We spent 8 days in and around Yosemite and this was by far our best day ! It was a great overview of the park and done in such a way to allow us to see many areas and know where we may want to explore more later on. Juli was fun and had lots of info to tell, and was an excellent driver high up on the somewhat stress- inducing mountain roads ( for those afraid of heights that is)
Would highly recommend to first time visitors as well as veterans of Yosemite.

Amazing guide Juli - We had an absolutely amazing time with our guide Juli. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the park and knew exactly where to go for breathtaking views. She brought pictures of her at a child at different locations in the park, she had old newspapers clippings about different happenings, and overall provided a truly magical one of a kind experience.

Wonderful Day Trip - We were instructed to wait in the lobby. Our guide Daniel didn’t look for us unlike other tour guides that were asking if we signed up for a tour. We had to approach him and ask if he was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and attended to what we wanted to see. He was a wonderful photographer and knew where to get good photos. Too bad that 2 spots were closed which we were aware of. It would have been nice to have a different day trip for the winter season/winter itinerary.

Our tour was cancelled - We are in our 70’s so are not likely to ever see Yosemite now. The tour we had booked for September 21 was cancelled, however we had to call Crossroads to find out. They did not answer my emails to confirm a pickup time and place, so part of the time we were concerned it is was not a real enterprise. They did refund $800 we had paid in advance within a few days. Would have liked to give a good review. We used the day to go to Sequoia park by ourselves, which was nice.
