This Yosemite 1-Day Tour maximizes the time you spend in Yosemite National Park by starting early. This is the only Yosemite Tour that enables you to cover both the Yosemite Valley & the Giant Sequoias in one day. We will also spend more than 5 hours inside Yosemite National Park, more than any other single Yosemite day tour from in San Francisco.

After a 1 hour lunch break at the Yosemite Lodge, we'll drive to a higher altitude and to a lesser traveled part of the national park.
Here, we'll stop beneath the Giant Sequoia Tree Grove and see the world's largest living organisms. After a 2-mile (1 mile per way) hike (around 1.5 hours) to see the Giant Sequoia Trees, and a full day in the fresh Yosemite air, we'll finally head back to San Francisco, where our bus will drop travelers off at directly at their hotel.
Winter Months Note: The Giant Sequoias hike depends on snow levels and trail conditions from October to May, so the route and itinerary may be changed due to snow depth, road conditions, construction projects and detours and it cannot be guaranteed.

I was worried it would be a bit of a crazy thing to do in one day, but it was not tiring at all and I am so glad I did it!
Everything was so nicely organised, and we managed to see all the most scenic views from the park.

It's nice to know fun facts about the place you visit. If we did this again we would try and stay at Yosemite for at least 1 night because there is just so much to see. But I really think Travis made the experience better

We went on the "1-Day Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Tour from San Francisco" and were extremely pleased. Our tour guide (I believe her name was Denise) was fantastic and shared so much knowledge about Yosemite, the history of California, and about other recommendations in the area. She made the trip well worthwhile. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide. The trip itself also was better than expected. For a one-day tour, I figured we wouldn't get to see that much, but we got to see pretty much everything that could possibly have been seen for a one day tour (of course you could see more in multiple days, but probably not in one day). We got to see so much because of our great tour guide and her efforts to make it a great day for us. I would highly recommend this tour if you only have one day and want to get to see Yosemite!

I would highly recommend if you book this tour to ask for Denise as your guide/driver. She is the only female among 15 guides/drivers working for Extranomical tour company. I thought she did the fantastic job of giving this one day tour which included 15+ hours of time behind the wheels. She shared so many facts about San Fransisco which was golden for someone who is visiting the city for the first time. Every hour of the tour she had a snippet to share with us which kept the day going. What I really like is her passion for sharing the info. We were very fortunate for Denise to be the guide during that day. We stopped at Giant Sequoias as well as Yosemite and Denise was nice enough to have us stopped at both the places with ample time for lunch and walk around. It was one of the best tours I was part of and this wouldn't have been possible without Denise as our Guide. I really hope everyone taking this one day tour have similar experiences.

I recommend this tour! Yosemite is such an amazing and breath-taking place, everyone should visit at least once in lifetime. Ross was our tour guide, a very nice guy who added a lot of interesting information and fun facts to the tour, not too much talking, not too little information, right on it. I took the 1-day tour and think is perfectly planned to make the most of the time available. We had a busy day, but not tiring or boring at all, had a nice hot meal at the park too. Bus is comfortable and the hotel pick is complimentary, which is great given that we start the tour early in the morning (6am). The walk to the Sequoias is smooth, just wear comfortable shoes and grab some water to refresh on your way back, I'm 36, not into sports or outdoor activities, and took the 2-mile walk just fine. Had no issues with payment or e-mail confirmation. Reasonable price.

This tour and our tour guide Ben were great. We went at the end of January and were able to see everything. There was plenty of time at each stop. Within Yosemite Valley there is a free shuttle that can get you from the lodge where the tour drops off to the visitor center or further. We stopped in both directions in Oakdale at a strip mall with a grocery store. On the way out, we were able to grab a snack for breakfast and lunch for later. On the way back in, we were able to have dinner at one of the restaurants next door. That was a great option to save time at Yosemite as well as avoiding the higher prices within the park.

However, I failed to go to see some of the wonderful landscape spots, as suggested by the tour guide, who gave me two-hour free time. The spots were far away from the shuttle bus stops. I would definitely suggest a two-day visit.

Recently went on a 1 day Yosemite Tour with my cousin from overseas. Our driver/guide Safiya was very knowlegeable with the area and its history. She gladly volunteered in taking pictures for everyone, Safiya is the type of employee you need working for your company. Anyone can see that she really enjoys her job. My cousin was very impressed by Yosemite and wants to return for camping few days. The unfortunate part of the trip was that we weren't able to take a hike and see the Sequoias due to fire smoke in the area. Minus 1 star for a bumpy ride in a packed van and poor air conditioning. But for only a 1 day tour and with a guide like Safiya, I'd still highly recommend it.

Our tour guide, Patrick, was wonderful. He made the trip there and back an adventure in California music. Very knowledgeable about the history of California and the Yosemite Valley. The bus was not what I was expecting. The ad said 15 people, there were 34 in our group. The air conditioning was broken in the bus and it was very hot. The walk back up from the giant redwoods was very difficult for 2 people in their mid 60s. You might want to stress the difficulty. The walk down was great. Given those facts, I still give it 5 stars mostly because of Patrick. Thanks

The trip overall was great. The bus was comfortable and generally adequate. The bus driver/guide (Roman) was brilliant and worth the trip alone and I supporet his employment!
Although the beginning of the day was rainy, and the giant sequoias were not viewed - should have indicated how difficult the walk down and back was, as such was presented as an 'extra' - overall the day was great.
The only negative was that your add was not as described. The extra cost - above what was offered by the provider Extranomical on their own website - was not as specifically justified to me i.e. instead of a small group of 12 - 15 people, the trip involved 34 persons on a small tour bus. If I had known the real facts, I would have simply booked with Extranomical and been done with it. And saved money. Your on costs are not justifiable! and not as explained in your email responses to my earlier enquiries!

This was an excellent trip except few hick-ups. Tour was booked for bus, but we were put into small van. I had requested for date change, but they could not do as it was sold out. But they still charged 6% on my credit card. Tips : Speak to tour company guys directly to find out actual reservations.

A well organized and informative tour, that will leave you with a life long memory of one of the prettiest and most spectacular examples of mother nature ever! My only disappointment was my camera battery went flat!
