Hello, You can either book through our website (TripAdvisor doesn't allow me to include the link), choose Yosemite Tours, then Yosemite Full Day Tour, there's a "book this tour" button about half way down the page or call us at 559-642-4400. For private tours you need to call. Thanks!

We used discover yosemite and booked direct on their website. There are numerous pick up points. Our guide Marsha was great. There are lots of stops throughout the day and a packed lunch is included in the cost. The lunch stop was at yosemite falls. The park was very busy and as we were on the tour parking wasn't an issue plus you get great info and commentary. You'll enjoy yosemite however you travel it's amazing.

Hello Leslie, It is possible that Mariposa Grove will be re-opened when you visit. It is just at the estimated re-opening date. If not, you will see some individual Giant Sequoia on the tour. If you would like to see a Giant Sequoia Grove and Mariposa Grove isn't open yet,The Nelder Grove is just outside of Oakhurst and easy to get to. It's a beautiful place to spend an hour or two.

Hello, You can visit in February, weather permitting. There can be snow and roads do occasionally close, but not often. Chains may be required and they are not allowed on rental cars, so if renting a car consider 4-wheel drive. You may still be required to carry chains in Yosemite. There are many hotels in Oakhurst. If you search for the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau there is a website with a complete list (links are not allowed here or I would send it.) For weather and road conditions search for National Park Service Yosemite and you will find the link with that information.

We stopped at several places and there were bathrooms at most of them.

We stayed outside of Oakhurst and we were met by the van at the Visitor Center in Oakhurst. The tour included all the main sights within Yosemite Park. The convenience of being driven around and dropped off at each sight to explore and take pictures was great for us because we didn't have to drive, find parking and fight crowds. We were dropped off at the main lodge in the park, lunch was part of the tour. The driver provides a narrative during the tour explaining the history and geography. We had one day in the park and felt the tour was well worth the money.

Yes, we have a lot of kids on the full day tour. We stop frequently and have time to get out and walk around and the drivers are very good at keeping them interested. We also give the kids a coloring/activity book that has a scavenger hunt of things to locate during the tour.

I believe this is a duplicate?

Yosemite is beautiful at any time of year. Weather, as anywhere in the winter is difficult to predict, though unless you get caught in a storm, winter in Yosemite is grand and pristine. Some seasonal road closures limit where we can go, but there's always plenty to see and do to fill the day and it isn't as crowded as other times.

It isn't strenuous. There are opportunities for a little more walking, but it isn't necessary to enjoy the tour. We accommodate all ages and abilities.Thank you for your interest.
