Total Yosemite Experience Tour from San Jose Description

Tour group in magnificent Yosemite valley, Yosemite Tour

All of our tours regularly pick up from San Francisco. If you book a charter,we can offer a complementary pick up from San Jose, and then we will drive to Pleasanton where you will meet the group with whom you will spend the day in the amazing Yosemite National Park!

This tour will allow you to discover the Yosemite National Park and the Giant Sequoias, a rare occasion that you don’t want to miss! The time inside the park will be maximized (up to 5hours) by staring the tour early morning (between 5:00-6:00AM) and by traveling in a small vehicle (mini bus or van). We usually stop to see the following popular sightseeing points: El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Falls, Inspiration Point (aka Tunnel View), and Yosemite Village. The afternoon will be just as exciting as the photo stops in the morning by going to a higher altitude and a lesser traveled part of the Yosemite National Park. There you will have the chance to go hiking in the forest to see a grove of Giant Sequoias trees, world’s tallest trees!

* DURING WINTER MONTHS *
Winter clothes, especially shoes or boots with rubber soles and treads, are recommended.
We will always do what we can to make your trip enjoyable, but safety is “Job 1”, so the route and itinerary may be changed due to snow depth, road conditions, construction projects and detours.
Note: The Giant Sequoias hike on the Yosemite Tour is dependent on snow levels and trail conditions from October to April.
