Yosemite ...See it with the experts - Our trip was exxellent!
Snoshoe John was so knowledgeable and he also made our day perfect. He was so accomodating to ALL of our needs from bathroom breaks to a delicious lunch buffet. We stopped at a variety of places along the way. It was a beautiful day and I learned so much and was surrounded by such beauty.
Our bus was very clean and comfy
and I thank our guide for a safe and truly special trip.

Small group day trip from Lake Tahoe to Yosemite - Highly recommend this trip for those that want to see Yosemite for the day with out having to drive yourself. I went solo as a photographer to gain park knowledge and experience for future longer visits. Our guide (Dan) was very knowledgeable and willingly shared EVERYTHING he knew throughout the day. He called me personally so I could meet his bus at a location that was closer for me and still on his route. Saved me miles and extra drive time. Dan showed great Yosemite informational videos on our drive there and back.
The bus was clean, comfortable and had video screens that could be seen from every seat. Fresh fruit, snacks, drinks were provided during our drive. Lots of bathroom breaks along the way. Us older folks sure appreciated these breaks. Haha! Dan also provided breakfast snacks and lunch for all of us. Even those with dietary concerns. He really thought of everything!! Dan was very personable, very accommodating with all my camera gear, professional and a extremely safe driver. I can't say enough about my day with Dan on this tour. Super excited to go through my pictures I took throughout my day.

Awesome Yosemite - This tour was excellent! It was a very long day but John, our guide, was exceptional. He knew exactly where to stop for the best views and kept us informed and entertained every mile. He truly is the best guide and I have traveled extensively. John supplied our breakfast, lunch, and snacks. He set up tables with freshly prepared organic food that was fresh and delicious! I want to stress that you will not be disappointed in any way. He made sure each of us were informed and comfortable. The trip itself showed us how magnificent and extraordinary Yosemite is - not to be missed!

Excellent visit to Yosemite! - Snowshoe John was excellent. Everything went smoothly. Got to the park early and was able to see Yosemite valley early and with perfect weather. He took us to all the beautiful spots of the park. He made sure everyone was comfortable and did not rush any of us. It was a good group of visitors from Connecticut to Texas. Highly recommend!

Awesome trip! - This day trip was absolutely perfect . Snowshoe John was great and the picnic lunch he personally prepared was top notch. His knowledge of Yosemite and surrounding area enhanced the stunning scenery provided by Yosemite itself. An absolute must do when visiting Lake Tahoe.

Exceeded our already high expectations - If you're staying in South Lake Tahoe, this day trip is a can't miss. No matter where you're staying, Yosemite is going to require not only a lot of driving but challenging driving. If you don't time things correctly, you may face a lot of traffic. Once in the park, there are a limited number of place to grab a bite. This excursion takes care of everything!!!
