Excursão de um dia por Yosemite e pelas sequoias-gigantes

Yosemite in September offers crisp autumn air, perfect for walks, though the magnificent waterfalls of spring and summer are but a trickle by fall. This, however, does not diminish the national park's grand splendor. This tour departs from the Marriott Hotel in the morning, with a stop at a rest area where you can purchase breakfast and lunch at a supermarket, Wendy's, or KFC (there's also a restaurant at the visitor center). Throughout the journey, the driver enthusiastically shares stories and history about San Francisco and Yosemite, slowing down or allowing passengers to disembark at photo opportunities. Dinner will be at the same rest stop on the return trip. Overall, the itinerary is packed and engaging, and the driver's commentary is passionate. Aside from the slightly high price, there are no major drawbacks.

This guided tour trip was definitely worth it! It's friendly for folks who aren't ready for intense hiking too. The stops were carefully thought of... from food stops to sight seeing stops. Kudos to our driver who was very informative and considerate as well.

I really enjoyed the trip! Our driver and tour guide, Andy, was really nice, cheerful and patient. He is also very knowledgeable. He explained a lot, not just about Yosemite, but also the history and the ecological system. The view was fantastic and I had a really great time as a solo traveler

I took a tour with Extranomical Tours on 2/28 and paid $104 in cash (as a non-US resident). Our guide and driver, Glenda, was excellent and provided explanations in English throughout the trip. I boarded in Livermore, and we arrived at Oakdale Raley's around 7:40 AM for everyone to buy their own breakfast. The guide also purchased snacks and water for the group to take from the vehicle. After visiting a few photo spots, we had about 3 hours to explore the park freely, followed by more photo opportunities. Unfortunately, Tuolumne Grove was closed that day, so we couldn't visit it. We left the national park around 4:00 PM and returned to Raley's for a 30-minute dinner break. We arrived back in Livermore at 7:40 PM. The guide also mentioned that tips are optional and not required. There were also USB charging ports available on the bus.

Our guide Alberto from Extranomical Tours is a true legend! The bus has USB ports where you can recharge your phone. Just make sure to bring your own cords or adapters. We were lucky enough to see the sequoia trees! Overall, highly recommended and kudos to Extranomical Tours

Guía y conductores increíbles. Apasionados por América y el Valle de Yosemite. Fuimos el primer grupo en cubrir las Secuoyas. Hicimos seguimiento en el hielo y el conductor Rob nos inspiró a acompañarlo. Gracias, Rob.

Una maravillosa experiencia en el Parque Nacional Yosemite, perfecta para visitantes que prefieren caminar poco mientras disfrutan de impresionantes vistas panorámicas y lugares para fotografiar.

Once you sign up, the local team will contact you. I really appreciate the quick response to all my questions about the pick-up location and time. Our tour guide and driver, Rob, made this trip so great. He provided information and history about San Francisco and Yosemite. I could feel his passion for these places, and he took this tour very seriously. Thumbs up for this tour, and I will definitely be back when the days are longer!

The national park is awesome, with giant landscape and sequoia. Please be noted that if you would like to see the sequoia, you will need to hike for around 1-1.5hours in total, may not be suitable for elderly. Tour Guide is fun and energetic, you may need to prepare tips at the end. The only negative side is time management, the entrance of park takes 1hour to purchase the ticket and after lunch we wait for more than 45 mins for extra passengers that just checked out from the hotel in the national park. That means every location's visiting is shortened.

Great trip with Debi, would thoroughly recommend! Plenty to see, and there was enough time to do all we wanted to do.
