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.

The seat on the bus was a bit uncomfortable for my height. I kept slipping forward. Our tour guide, Jordan, was knowledgeable and helpful, and, most of all, patient! Our driver, David, was skillful and maneuvered the winding road to and from Yosemite National Park carefully. The group didn’t feel scared at all.
