Small Group Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Trip from San Francisco

Abbie_A, Jun 2026

Great if you have one day...

Great if you have one day to see Yosemite as a solo traveller. It is a long day and long drive but got see some good spots and even a bear. :) Been told July and August you can expect queues for a good couple of hours at the entrance and if this was the case it would have had a big impact on the day. Luckily took all of 2 minutes, I went on 7th June. Viktor was knowledgeable and fun and catered to everyone. Beware that non American residents will need to pay an extra $100 unless you have an annual pass. The annual pass can be used for a family of 4, I believe, so would work out cheaper if you are travelling as a family. Overall a great day. Thank you.

It was a wonderful tour...

It was a wonderful tour to see the sights of the city before heading to GG bridge, Muir Woods and Sausalito. Our tour guide, Sully, was WONDERFUL! His knowledge about the history of the city, with his friendly personality, made this an extra-special tour.

the vehicle taken was...

the vehicle taken was very nice, spacious, clean. The tourists were able to see out of the windows. Our driver was very alert to her driving. We felt safe. Anya was very welcoming to the tourists, made learned our names right away and asked where we were from. Made us feel comfortable and eager to begin the trip. Anya was well received in explaining CA information as we went along on the tour. I thought she was delightful and interesting. The time at Muir Woods was wonderful, we had enough time to walk through the whole park. Our time in Sausalito was not long enough, but we did have time to eat lunch and walk around a bit.

Must do food tour!

Scott was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide with a real passion for teaching visitors about the history of San Francisco. We enjoyed an incredible variety of food—BBQ pork buns, Peking duck, noodles, pot stickers, sesame balls, fudge, salt water taffy, margherita pizza, and cannoli. Along the way, we saw memorable sights like the Bruce Lee mural, City Lights Bookstore, Café Trieste (where Coppola wrote part of the Godfather), the Banksy mural, and the Jazz mural. The tea tasting at Vital Tea Leaf was a highlight, and the four hours flew by. If you’re on the fence about a Viator food tour, don’t hesitate. Book now and ask for Scott for your guide!

Yosemite day trip

Sharon our tour guide made this trip absolutely memorable. Long trip in and out from San Fran. But Sharon made it enjoyable both ways. She adapted to the needs of all of her travelers and took us to all the greatest sights available for the day. The sights were simply amazing. And would highly recommend this excursion if you only have short time and 1 day! Please don’t sell your self short and second guess it was amazing! The communication was exceptional for any tour that i have ever taken!

We took several tours...

We took several tours while in San Francisco on vacation and this tour was one of the best! Barry was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about the area, especially Muir Woods which was my favorite part of the day and we never felt rushed! While at Muir Woods, Barry made sure that everyone learned about the area and got the perfect pictures to remember the trip! We also drove through the Presidio area, which I did not expect, but I’m so glad that we did. At the end of the day we took the trip to Alcatraz, which we all enjoyed and learned a lot about its history. Overall, we really enjoyed the day very much and would recommend it to everyone!

Our driver and guide was excellent…don’t remember his name but he had an Irish accent. We appreciated his safe driving and narration throughout the tour while on the bus. The first winery was great and we bought some wine there as well. The second winery was beautiful and the wine was very good. Unfortunately, we did not care for the third winery at all, but nevertheless, we enjoyed the tour very much overall and would highly recommend it.

Nice cruise overall! It’s...

Nice cruise overall! It’s about an hour long, which felt like the perfect amount of time to see the bay without it dragging on. The only downside was that the tour guide is an automated recording—we usually prefer a live guide for a more personal touch. Still, a really enjoyable experience!
