An inspiring one-day tour to the towering granite peaks, cascading waterfalls and nature trails that make Yosemite National Park the jewel of the national park system. Travel and Hospitality Awards named this the best Yosemite tour from San Francisco. Year after year, our expert guided commentary available in nine languages, five hours spent in the park, and unique hike to experience Giant Sequoias redwoods earn the tour more 5-star guest reviews than anyone. 

Join us on this breathtaking tour of Yosemite National Park, whose towering granite peaks, cascading waterfalls and nature trails are perhaps the most stunning in the world. This award-winning tour spends the most time in Yosemite and includes a unique hike among ancient Giant Sequoias. 

Your tour begins with a convenient hotel pick up in San Francisco. Sit back and enjoy the scenery as we explain how glitter in the American River sparked the California gold rush; what geological forces made Yosemite's dramatic landscapes; and the role John Muir played in the formation of America's first protected wilderness. 

After entering Yosemite National Park, we'll make our way to a scene made famous by photographer Ansel Adams. Take a moment at Tunnel View. Capture yourself with El Capitan, Half Dome, Sentinel Dome, Glacier Point, and Cathedral Peak as your background. 

Once you've had your fill of photographs from this perch overlooking the valley, the tour will arrange a memorable stop where you can get eye to eye with wispy Bridalveil Fall.
