After pickup from selected hotels in San Francisco, board a comfortable minibus for the drive to Yosemite National Park. En route, make a snack stop among the fruit and nut orchards of the San Joaquin Valley before continuing on to the Sierra Nevada foothills and California Gold Country.

Entering the national park via historical Groveland, stop for a hike among Yosemite’s giant sequoias—ancient redwood trees whose trunks span up to 40 feet (12 meters) in diameter. Your drive continues into the Yosemite Valley, stopping at Tunnel View for the quintessential photo op of that includes Bridalveil Fall, El Capitan, and Half Dome.

After a close-up look at the falls, head to El Capitan, the world’s largest exposed granite monolith. Search for rock climbers ascending its sheer face, which rises thousands of feet above the valley floor. Then it’s on to see Half Dome and Yosemite Falls, whose lower and upper cascades form North America’s tallest waterfall.

During free time to explore on your own and purchase lunch (own expense), you can hike among numerous paths, snap more photos at the base of Yosemite Falls or visit Yosemite Village. Then meet back up with your guide for the return drive to San Francisco, with another quick stop for food in the Central Valley before your full-day tour ends with hotel drop-off.

Our tour guide Phil S. is great. The pick up and drop off in San Francisco is very convenient and the time management regarding pit stops is good. We get to know many fun facts about Yosemite and rock climbing and camping. Yosemite itself is of course a serene and magical place that you don't want to miss.

Our tour was really great. This is a nice tour if you like sightseeing. We got to see el capitán, Tunnel view, and other iconic spots. Our tour guide, Phil, helped us find the best places to take pictures and played a nice movie/music. We also got to watch rock climbers & Phil set up a telescope to see how small they were in comparison to el capitan. Great stories and commentary would definitely recommend!

Brian is THE BEST tour guide. It was hands down the best Viator trip I've ever taken. I felt that the trip was worth FAR more than they're charging. So glad I got to see Yosemite in this way!

Excellent tour guide Alberto. He absolved all our questions and a dices how to follow the roads (even with bears nearly). The Yosemite's waterfalls were dry but the park mantained something of his beauty.

This is a terrific one day experience in the park. It is wonderful to be able to tie it in with San Francisco. We learned so much about the park and got to see rock climbers. Our guide, Phil, was absolutely the best. I would highly recommend this to experience a national park for one day.

Absolutely amazing experience! Our tour guide Phil was GREAT. Definitely made our trip with all his knowledge, humor and amazing playlist. (Don’t listen to that millennial…who wants to listen to Billie Ellish when you’re in the majestic beauty of the forest?? Keep your other awesome playlist!) the entire day was manageable and we saw lots of cool sights and Phil helped us take awesome pictures. The fruit stand was great too!
