5.00It was a great tour, and so nice not to have to fight the crowds for parking. Our guide, Jessica, was very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We are seniors and she was very patient with our needing to take breathers along the Tuolumne Grove hike. We saw all the highlights of Yosemite, and really enjoyed the Tuolumne Grove hike.
Amazing All Around
