San Fran to Yosemite and back
Wonderful day trip from San Francisco to Yosemite with Pablo of Cali Tours. Outstanding tour guide/private driver and very know about key sites at Yosemite. Pablo is delightful and very professional and concerned about his guests’ comfort throughout. Yosemite is extraordinary and we saw so much in one day thanks to Pablo.

Private Jeep tour with Daniel
Daniel was our guide for the entire day, and was an amazing wealth of knowledge and resource resources throughout our journey. This gentleman, coming from a long line of people who have inhabited the Yosemite valley going back to the 1700s, was more than just a tour guide; he took us on a historical adventure. Without missing a single stop or beat, we visited parts of the park that we didn’t even know were accessible, nor even existed. it was truly a once in 1 million experience. He took pictures of us everywhere we went. He opened the car door for my wife and me at every stop, and he even set up lunch for us in the beautiful Ahwahnee hotel. I couldn’t recommend this tour more, and Daniel, more.

The perfect option for...
The perfect option for those looking to experience Yosemite while visiting SF. Our group had a few seniors with less mobility, so accessibility and convenience were a priority for us, and Pablo’s tour was perfect for our needs. We even unexpectedly had a medical emergency that required us to cancel our scheduled date last minute, but luckily I reached out to reschedule for the following day, and he had availability! Pablo was extremely accommodating and flexible - he picked us up from our requested location right on time. He had a mini van stocked with plenty of waters for us. The entire tour was efficient but didn’t feel rushed, and we hit all the key stops. We even had time for a sit down lunch at The Ahwahnee hotel, which was beautiful! We left SF at 6am and got back at 9pm. We felt so lucky that the timing worked out, the weather was perfect, and we had Pablo as our guide.

We had so much fun with Bryant!! He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic! We loved seeing the Sequoias, learning about the plants, seeing the gorgeous falls up close and finding the itty bitty climbers up on the wall of El Capitan!
