We booked 3-day trip from Irvine to San Francisco and Yosemite from 12/24 to 12/26. Our tour guide (Rian) and Driver (Name forgot) was very friendly and knowledgeable. They stopped for lunch/dinner timely. Also stopped after 2 hours for restroom. TOur Guide (Rian) explained very well in the tour and given enough explanation for each place and gave enough headsup for all the stops. Out of 3 days, we stayed in two hotels. First day, we stayed at Wild Palms Sunnyvale and 2nd day we stayed at Holiday Inn Express Chowchilla. Both hotels are very good. Microwave, Refrigerator is available in the rooms. Finally, I recommend this tour to all my friends as it is budget friendly. The trip itinerary is planned very well, can cover many places in short duration.
