2-Day Yosemite, Barstow Tour from San Francisco - Los Angeles Out
5.0
1 reviews
My husband and I (English speaking Australian couple) took the 2-day Yosemite tour from San Francisco as a way to see Yosemite while travelling to Los Angeles at the same time. Our guide Marc was absolutely amazing, polite, attentive, friendly and patient. Marc did a wonderful job organising all of the people on the tour to make sure we set off at the schedule time, every time. Marc made all announcements in English as well as Chinese, we never felt excluded and he always took the time to answer any questions we had. The bus was clean and well equipped, we had a small issue on the way back from Yosemite with the brakes on our bus and we were transferred to another bus within an hour. The time at each stop we felt was adequate time to get the photos and see what we wanted to see. The hotel accommodation was excellent. On our second day we were transferred to another smaller bus to take us to LA, while the rest of the tour travelled to Vegas. The bus driver, Bai, was very accommodating and dropped us off t the second stop, which was closer to our accommodation in Anaheim. Everything about this tour was well managed and well organised, we loved this tour.

Yosemite National Park, CA
Yosemite National Park in central California is best known for the amazing granite cliffs of the Yosemite Valley as well as the towering Yosemite Falls and Sequoias. Millions of people every year journey to this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tunnel View
This is one of Yosemite's most popular outlooks, often the first landmark that visitors come to. INear, Wawona Tunnel, it was renovated in 2008.
Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls are one of Yosemite's most famous geological formations, a 617-foot waterfall that flows all year round. When the wind blows strongly enough, the waterfall appears to be falling sideways.
El Capitan
El Capitan is the largest granite monolith in the world, rising about 3,000 feet above the ground, featuring notoriously difficult climbing routes that even the most experienced climbers find challenging.
Merced River
Running from the Sierra Nevada to Central Valley in California, the Merced River cuts through Yosemite National Park, and offers visitors excellent hiking trails along its banks or whitewater rafting trips through its rapids.
Yosemite Falls
This breathtaking system of waterfall is the tallest in North America at roughly 2,425 feet, and one of Yosemite National Parks most popular attractions. It is divided into three sections: the Upper Falls, Middle Cascades, and Lower Falls.
Half Dome
The Half Dome is known the world over as a challenging and rewarding hiking and mountain climbing location. It is an iconic image of Yosemite. Visitors hoping to reach the summit should come prepared for an arduous trek.
Today we will head to the Lenwood Factory Outlets where you can shop at name brand stores.
Then we will proceed to Los Angeles.
Barstow, CA
Barstow serves as a civilized stop-over for off-road enthusiasts and desert adventurers and offers access to a very modest clutch of cultural sights. Find out and about a museum or two, including one with Route 66 as its focus, filming locations like Bagdad Cafe and quaint Calico Ghost Town.
