Small-group Yosemite day trip from San Francisco with Tunnel View, Bridalveil Falls, El Capitan photo stops, and a giant sequoia hike.

“From the time I was picked up from my hotel door until the time I was dropped off back there I felt included and very welcomed. The guide Steve was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the tour. He helped people to choose just the right spot for incredible photos. He even set up a telescope with a tripod so we could see the climbers on the rock face. The tour took on some spectacular scenery. Yosemite is definitely a place one needs to experience, no photos can actually do it justice no matter how good they are. Access to most places was very good. Moderate fitness level is required…”

“In the morning we took the city tour with Antonio who was AWESOME. After our trip to the Golden Gate Bridge the fog rolled in and covered some of the regular tour stops so Anthonio adjusted and took us to some of his personal favorites where most tour buses did not stop. As a result we saw some amazing sites and enjoyed Antonio's sense of humor throughout the entire morning. A must do tour when in San Fran. In the afternoon we took the Muir Woods and Sausalito tour with Josh who was equally as informative and entertaining as Antonio. He too, was full of information from the beginning of…”

“The day trip to Yosemite was wonderful but the cost of the trip is a lot of money for what it is, but I understand that is mainly down to petrol costs. We arrived back to San Francisco later than anticipated as the driver decided he wanted to stop off for dinner at his friends restaurant which meant we all had to dine there and get back a hour later to San Fran”

“Our guide, Jay, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed hearing his stories immensely! Both days were pretty busy as we wanted to see as much as possible, but a person could choose to move at their own pace on the second day as we were free to spend about 5 hours on our own exploring the valley floor. Much to see. Beautiful! It was great not having to drive and having Jay take us to all of the top spots, and coordinate all the individual hikes the group was taking. Highly recommend!”

Private day trip from San Francisco to Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur with pickup, Highway 1 views, and well-paced coastal stops for up to four.

“Disappointed. Before arriving in San Francisco, I already knew I wanted to do this tour. However, at this time of the year it is only achievable by private tours rather than a coach option. We booked through Viator with what looked a great itinerary. However, with a couple of days to go still no confirmation or contact from the tour guide. Which was not a great start. So, we had to chase them. On the morning of the tour, they were late and then advised they would be using a different vehicle which turned out to be a good thing as the message the day before stated they would be…”
