Philly Crew, Yosemite Views, and the Perfect Guide
We had an amazing experience with Daniel as our guide. His knowledge of Yosemite was incredible and he shared so many interesting facts and insights that really brought the park to life for us. One of the highlights was the perfect lunch spot he found for us right along the river. It was such a peaceful, beautiful moment and something we never would have discovered on our own.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would absolutely recommend Daniel to anyone visiting Yosemite!

Yosemite in one day
It was a fantastic experience with a great guide, Pablo. We managed to squeeze in all the main attractions in Yosemite in one day, including the sequoias walk (Toulomne Grove of walks), the Bridal veil falls, El Cspitan, Half dome (from multiple viewing points), the Tunnel view. Stunning place, worth the long drive from San Francisco. Thank you for a fabulous day!

Yosemite with Pablo
Our day trip to Yosemite from San Francisco with Pablo was wonderful. Pablo was very considerate, making sure that all of our needs were satisfied. He knew all the best viewing and photo op locations in Yosemite. We never felt rushed at any of the stops.
The park of course is spectacular. Pablo knew so much about the park and its history and he truly seemed to enjoy the nature he was guiding us to.
It was a 14 hour day that did not feel at all like a long day thanks to Pablo. Highly recommend this tour with Pablo if you are visiting San Francisco.

Rainy Tour but Great Experience
Our guide, Laura Ullmann, greeted us at our hotel at the agreed time. Laura was cheerful and friendly, she explained that the planned tour could be adjusted to suit our preference. It was a rainy day so views of the higher elevation sights were limited. We all made the best of the rainy day, and Laura’s knowledge of the park, and her historical stories made our day very pleasant. Laura provided a great experience, despite the rainy weather. The vehicle that was provided was nearly new and very well kept. Our friends visiting from Idaho are anxious to make a return visit, hopefully with better weather. We will definitely try to book another tour with Crossroads Tours, and with Laura as our guide again.

Yosemite done right
Pablo turned a long day trip from San Francisco into something that felt effortless and memorable. He was on time, organized, and knew exactly how to run the day so we could see everything without feeling rushed.
What really stood out was how well he knows Yosemite. He didn’t just hit the main sights, he knew where to stand, when to stop, and how to get the best views and photos at each spot. Those little decisions made a big difference.
He’s easy to talk to, professional without being stiff, and clearly takes pride in what he does. If you’re heading to Yosemite and want someone who actually knows how to show it off properly, Pablo is the one to book.

Great experience!
Bryant was a great tour guide! He knew so much and could give us the inside scoop about so much of Yosemite. It was an easy fun day and I would highly recommend echo Tours!

Full day & great overview of the park highlights!
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!

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.

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.
