Traveler reviews
Wonderful experience with Viktor
This is a wonderful experience how ever it take the full day and needs some physical activity. Viktor was our guide and he was great. He can make your experience 10 times better.
Great day in Yosemite!!
This trip to Yoesmite national park was so worth the time and money. Our guide Darren was engaging with the group, He guided us to some of the most beautiful picturesque areas. The giant Sequoias were majestic . The trek through the forest was easy going down the steep hills but a bit challenging coming up. Yosemite a natural place where the mountains kiss the sky,
Best First Experience of Yosemite
Kurt Hillbrand was our Tour Guide, and he did an excellent job! Our Mercedes van was full with 15 passengers, but the comfort level was definitely a 10! With pickup before 5:30am and drop-off at 9:00, the time still flew by with Kurt providing us with interesting facts and stories, and engaging videos and music. Kurt made sure we had numerous stops for snacks and restroom breaks, and ample time for recharging naps. At one point in Yosemite, he set up a high magnification spotting scope so we could see the climbers on El Capitan! At all of the stops along the way, Kurt was engaging and very informative. His knowledge seemed to be from personal experience and a true affinity for the outdoors! Most especially, Kurt was so considerate of the elderly few who were challenged by the longer hike. He kindly escorted us to a more accessible redwood grove so that we wouldn't miss out. Lastly, Kurt's extra efforts to get our National Parks Book stamped (it took a special detour) clearly demonstrated his efforts to go the extra mile for his customers! Kurt at Best Bay Area Tours is the best and easiest way to experience Yosemite for the first time! Well worth the $212.50! I would definitely go with them for future Bay Area Tours!
4 Generations Yosemite Adventures!
I went with four generations of my family: my mom, my daughter, myself, and my granddaughter. We had an awesome time on the entire trip. It was so nice and convenient that they picked us up at our hotel in San Francisco. We had a nice stop on the way to Yosemite and back in Oakdale. Sharon was sure to give us all the details on good food and recommendations. She shared so much history with us and facts about many things as we went from San Francisco into Yosemite. She was super sweet, and I loved all the photo ops she gave us; she also took some of the best pictures and shared them with us. It was a great full day. I had been wanting to go to Yosemite National Park, and because of this excursion, I was able to do it, and I am so satisfied.
