We did the sleep in tour with our guide Jim and we would highly recommend it. We had such a great time and all the the sites and views we saw were amazing. Our tour guide Jim was very kind and informative and made the experience even better! Plus we had unlimited snacks and drinks and van was comfortable and was air conditioned.

For my first trip to San Francisco, USA🇺🇸, I chose the Yosemite National Park 1-day tour. The guide patiently introduced each attraction and helped the group members take pictures. The timing was perfect, with no delays. I give full marks💯 for the guide's enthusiasm. I'm very happy to have participated in this 1-day tour, which is suitable for tourists without transportation, using a 1-day tour to visit famous attractions 👍👍👍

The pre-trip instructions were very clear. I chose the 7 AM flight with shuttle service at the end of September, and the shuttle arrived around 5:30 AM for pickup. The weather was very pleasant; it was cool in the early morning, so I wore a short-sleeved shirt with a light jacket. It gradually became warmer as the flight progressed, especially in the window seat. The smaller the bag, the better. I only brought my ID, phone, and room key. Water was provided with the picnic meal. I took motion sickness medicine before departure just in case. The shuttle returned to the hotel at approximately 9:30 AM, making the entire trip about 4 hours, which matched the pre-trip notification perfectly.

Am truly mesmerised by the scenic view of the tunnel valley and the magnificent landscape of Yosmite National Park. Full of visitors during the summer, reflecting how popular this place is!
