Over charged.. I am demanding refund of $425. Advertising $352 for overnight from San Francisco to Yosemite and Charged me $771+ . I paid $352. directly to Crossroad for an additional day. Please Refund $425 over charged amount.

Response from Host, May 2021

Hello Mrs Chong, you paid Viator $ 777.44 I believe for 2 people. The per person price on Viator is $ 388.32 which includes Round trip Train, One night hotel and Full Day tour of Yosemite which includes Lunch, Park Fees and Gratuity. You requested additional night of stay and as per your request and the credit card information you paid us $ 176.00 for the 2nd night of stay in the hotel. I am not sure where the error is. You have only paid Crossroads for the 2nd night of stay which is $ 176 the rest of the money you paid is to Viator. You told me you were so happy with the tour as you were traveling back to San Francisco and you would recommend our tour to everyone. I hope you check the prices of our tours again on line just to make sure you didn't get charged anything extra. Thanks ramji

Excellent tour

James Q, May 2019

We had a wonderful trip to Yosemite. Everything was well organised with plenty of time given at each spot to take photos or to just simply stand and admire the stunning scenery. Plenty of useful information was given and our driver was very friendly and helpful. He did everything possible to ensure that we got the most out of our trip. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words

Our guide from Crossroads was everything anyone could have asked for. The weather kept us from seeing many of the parts of the park we had hoped to see, but he was so comfortable in the Valley that he showed us portions that would not have been on the regular tour. Totally amazing day and well worth the price! If you book thru Viator, be careful. There was a train schedule change that caused us to miss it. Amtrak told us Viator had beed notified two weeks before. We were not!!! Luckily there was a later Train that got us to our hotel in Fresno by 12:00 midnight. We were picked up the next morning at 6:30. Not a good start. Viator's Web Site does not give all of the information that is needed nor does it keep you informed of changes. I do not know if this is the responsibility of Crossroads or Viator, but beware!

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Trains are operated by Amtrak and their schedules are subject to change. We recommend all clients to check schedules the day before. We are glad you enjoyed the park. Thank you for visiting
