A really informative trip! Our guide was really accommodating and friendly as he explained the history behind the groves and recommended which spots would be the best to see the waterfalls from. There was enough free time for us to have breaks to get food and souvenirs as well. Highly enjoyed and would reccommend!

Overall, this tour was a fantastic way to see the city's top attractions in a single day. Whether it's your first visit or you're a local looking to rediscover the city, I highly recommend this tour for a well-rounded San Francisco experience.

The overall time was well managed and we returned to the city at 19:30. We were also taken to many photo spots, but the only incident was at the first Yosemite attraction where the driver and tour guide Jerry said we could get off the car for three minutes to take photos. However, he drove away before the time was up and without counting the number of people. We waited for ten minutes before the car came back. After we got on the car, the driver apologized but the reason he gave was that he asked if everyone was on the car, and since everyone didn't answer, he assumed everyone was on the car. The weather was bad that day so raincoats and tissues were provided. Finally, the driver said to tip 20 US dollars (in cash). If you have time, it would be best to stay for a night or two and drive yourself. The cafe on the mountain has hot water and some simple food and drinks, so you don’t have to worry about being hungry. The recommended walking trail is almost flat and does not require too much effort.

The tour guide DINO picked us up on time. I originally thought there would be two people (tour guide + driver), but I was a little surprised to find only one person.

A good look into the city and our guide (Mary) and driver (Thomas) made the experience enjoyable! However, the price is slightly steep for the tour in my opinion

I went in on an open run, but since it was a weekday, there weren't many people, so it was great for taking pictures, and there was so much to see in the exhibition itself, and it was well-organized, so as a Disney fanatic, I was very satisfied!! I don't know if it's because it wasn't the weekend, but the best thing about it was that there weren't many people, so it was easy to take pictures.
