Jeep 4 X 4 Yosemite Park Tour with Hotel Pickup

Where to start….We booked a Jeep day trip into Yosemite Valley. The pickup was completely effortless on our part. Our driver/guide Laura was a real gem from start to finish. I’m not sure we can say enough great things about her. She had so much information that can’t be found on a map or brochure. We feel as if we could not have seen or done as much in the two days we had to spend that we did in less than half a day on this tour. We are truly thankful we booked. As an added bonus, the included lunch was good too. We highly recommend this tour of Yosemite Valley.

Ron was great and very informative throughout the entire trip. Seeing the Yosemite Falls was a terrific experience and seeing the rock climbers on the mountains was really neat.

Absolutely brilliant tour of Yosemite. David our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time at each stop to explore and take photos. If we are lucky enough to go back we will request that David be our guide again.

Daniel was an amazing tour guide. So much knowledge and such a wonderful character. Thank you for an unforgettable your of Yosemite

Mick was our guide, we enjoyed spending our day with him, he had so many stories to tell about the Yosemite area. We’ll keep amazing memories.

The guide can make or break the tour, our guide was awful. We asked to see the giant sequoia trees in Mariposa Grove. We were told there aren't any large sequoias remaining. We asked to stop at the gift shop, he drove right past it. Instead of doing what we wanted, we saw the same climbing rock three times, from three different angles. We heard tons of stories about Alex the climber, all stories from the movie Free Solo. Half hour into the tour, we were sick of listening to the monologue and BS stories about conversations the indian tribes had in the 1800s. It is obvious that our guide was giving us a book report rather than a tour. We also learned where our guide got married, how fun his reception was (37 years ago), his in-laws quirks, his dogs haircut schedule (and photos of his dog), his sons little league career, his current height & weight, his rock climbing adventures, his political views, his dislike for the Sierra Club, his dislike for San Francisco, his retirement plans, the day his foundation will be poured for his new house and of course his burial wishes. I have never in my life had a stranger share their burial wishes with me, this man is odd. Eight hours of listening to him talk about himself and his indian pals from the 1800s. He never once even asked us our names or anything about us. The photo with this review is the 3rd time we saw the same rock, fifteen minutes of staring at it, he found another family that would listen to his stories. We politely let him know we were ready to move on but he continued to chat with the family who WASNT on the tour. I had two teenagers with me and they were bored out of their minds, they missed the beauty of Yosemite because they spent the entire time on their phones complaining about the tour guide & asking when it was over. The tour could have been amazing, Yosemite is a beautiful park. The guide made it miserable and incredibly irritating. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend this tour unless the company does a better job of matching families with guides or at least hires guides who know how to do a tour. Richard the tour guide needs to check his ego before punching the time clock. Sad that we missed out on what should have been a fun day of seeing natures beauty. We feel ripped off and I guarantee we aren't the only ones, Richard complained about a family he took on tour, that family questioned his BS stories and alternative facts. I say alternative facts because the informational signs posted by the parks service, we were told they are not true. We were given alternative facts and told that Richards facts were true. I don't advise booking this tour without first calling the company and asking about the guides. Do not ask for Richard unless you want an 8 hour monologue of bull.

Our guide Laura was fun, knowledgeable and helped create a fantastic day around Yosemite valley. Her stories of the history of Yosemite along with knowing the best places for views and walks made it easy if you only have one day to spend in the park.

We had an incredible time visiting Yosemite. Our guide, Dave, was very passionate and knowledgeable. He did a great job at keeping our children interested throughout the whole day with interesting facts and fun stories. We loved it!!

Daniel was fantastic, he is a dictionary of information , we saw all the sites and found out all the background

Our driver/guide was Ron. Older gentleman who knew the area, very helpful and fun to travel with i was with my daughters and they enjoyed the trip and were happy with trip, service and jokes from our driver Overall best trip best driver THANK YOU RON (our driver)🙏👍🏻
