Detailed description of this tour: The Yosemite tour is an in depth, full day, multimedia, documentary tour with a blend of narration, short films, and music to go along with the outstanding scenery throughout the bus trip to Yosemite Valley.
The tour adjusts to the seasonal conditions so it switches focus from waterfalls in spring and early summer to cliffs, climbers, and big trees in late summer and fall. There are still waterfalls flowing at slower flows from August through October such as Bridalveil Falls, Cascade Falls, and Wildcat Falls. The tour does highlight these falls regardless of the season.
Customer reviews:
I was recently visiting Lake Tahoe and while I was there signed up to take your Yosemite tour on Thursday, June 13. I wanted you to know that I had a wonderful time and that our tour guide, Snowshoe John, was both informative and delightful. My friend and I had an exciting day of beautiful sights, snacks and lunch. I would definitely recommend your company to friends. Thanks! Christine Kozlevcar
We wanted to let you know we really enjoyed the Yosemite tour. John is excellent! Very knowledgeable, friendly, kind, respectful of people and nature, great driver. We went on the wine tour a couple of years ago and John was the driver/guide for that trip and was equally as excellent Thank you so much! Tim & Margaret Meints
