Brian & Randall were excellent hosts. We felt well informed and safe every step of the way. Amazing views, bucket list stuff. Brian was very knowledgeable with facts and history. All the while navigating and being very funny. Great day, great fun.

From start to finish, the tour exceeded my expectations. The pickup process was efficient, and the guide made sure everyone was comfortable and well-informed. Their attention to detail and helpful tips throughout the day were greatly appreciated. Each stop was perfectly timed, and the Alcatraz tour was an incredible way to finish the day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable experience!

The California coast is beautiful overall it is a wonderful experience, but, the reason I did not give it a five star rating is because the itinerary stated that we would spend 3 hours in Monterey, I even called and spoke to someone and was told that we would spend 3 hours in Monterey, we only spent 2 hours there, we had plans to do more, but because it was only 2 hours we had to revise our plans, get your ads inline, so your customers get the right information……… Thank You

Glenda was well knowledgeable and polite. She provided SO many snacks & drinks - honestly went overboard! The views were beautiful and well worth the 4 hour trip each way.

we didn’t get to see the giant sequoia trees as it was winter and spent more time in yosemite… we did a small hike with the guide which was great and got to know more about the ecology, history and the park which was great… ! Not sure if it would have been the same without a guide… but Andy was also entertaining, knowledgeable and accountable during the trip which is important!!!

We took the tour with Andy Howse. Andy was amazing, His narration as we climbed into Yosemite Valley made the scenery all the better knowing the historical significance of different areas! Andy was extremely knowledgeable about the history of California and his knowledge about history, geology and ecology made the surroundings more significant. The day starts early and finishes early evening but we enjoyed snacks on the bus and in the park and had plenty of time to eat meals throughout the day and grab anything you need along the way. Highly recommend, Andy made our last day in San Francisco wonderful!

They tour with Andy Howse was really good. He is an awesome guide who gives really good advices, historical and ecological information. We had a really good time and it was because of Andy's good guidance and advices. Yosemite has breathtaking views

5 stars for Glenda as a tour guide! She was a pure ray of sunshine - so friendly, warm, and high-energy throughout the 15-hour trip. She was very knowledgeable on park history but also gave us some interesting Gold Rush background/stories on the drive towards Yosemite. She was so caring too: she got us lots of snacks including coffee, electrolytes/sports drinks, and made sure we had sufficient bathroom or stretching breaks or awareness of what was next on the itinerary so we could plan what we wanted to use the break time for. Some logistics: on the way we had a breakfast stop at Safeway and then a bathroom break at Mariposa, before a few photo-op stops at Yosemite (including the iconic view of Half Dome, Bridalveil Falls and El Capitan all together), and finally, around noon, 2 hours free time in the park - but if you include time for a quick lunch, bathroom break, a few mins for gift shop browsing, that left only about enough time for a short walk to the Lower Yosemite falls, some photos and relaxation time there, and back. On the way out of Yosemite, we had a photo-op stop closer up to El Capitan, a gas station stop - the only gas station at Yosemite apparently, which was interesting because it also turned out to be kind of a photo-op stop with the contrast of green trees and snow (there wasn't snow at any of our other stops for the most part, or in the park, at the lower elevations we stayed at). Lastly, we had a dinner stop around 5:45pm, and then a quick bathroom break at Livermore before we were dropped off at our pickup points in the city.

DO NOT BOOK between Nov and Feb the Yosemite National Park and Giant Sequoia Day Tour. They sell the tickets but have no intention of taking you to the Giant Sequoias. Booked the tour 3 days out in early Dec and was told 1 day out that we can't visit the Giant Sequoias due to weather. The weather had been perfectly dry and sunny all week. The tour guide informed us due to liability reason this had not been included for the past month and will not resume until at least Feb. I was refunded 20% but told the fine print allows for cancellation due to bad weather. Apparently, no rain and sunny days is considered bad weather. Great tour of Yosemite but total scam for the Giant Sequoias.

Tour guide is so lazy and lack of experience due to she was too tired from singing carol on the day before Christmas. Have to suffer 40 people on the bus w/o air vent and tried to defrost window by hands. They send us a text the night before to cancel the visit to Sequoia, and said we will have more time in Yosemite “to wait in line for terribly expensive food at the mess hall”. We spend 20 hour on the tour and mostly on bus without any water or snacks from the tour company. Please don’t forget to bring everything yourself if you do take this tour. Will never take any tour with this company ever again.

We went on extranomical tours to Yosemite on the 27th with Andy Howse as our tour guide. Andy was a great guide and gave us knowledge about the city and its history throughout the trip. I would highly recommend this tour and will take it again if I come back to San Francisco.

Initially we were a bit confused whether should we go or not, but at the end it was well worth it!! The views were stunning specially around El Capitan,. This time of the year there is a dense fog settle down on the meadow around El Cap, which makes the whole scene so mystic and picturesque . Our tour guide Dave was awesome, funny and very informative of the history of area.

Glenda was very friendly, helpful, and humorous. Throughout the ride, she made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and happy. Her facts about the areas we went through were informative and intersting. Would love to go on another trip with her again!!!
