Great experience

I would like to thank our driver and guide, Andy, for his enthusiasm and professionalism. This tour is strongly recommended. We were also very lucky to witness snowing in Kings Canyon!

Amazing nature

This was fantastic. We managed to see Sequoia trees on day one and get to Yosemite on day two from LA. We would never have managed to get that far and see those things in the short amount of time we had without doing this. The hotel was fine. Two double beds in the room meant we each had our own bed. It's a lot of driving, but it had to be in order to see what we saw from LA in such a short time. Lots of breaks to get out the car and stretch legs.

Wonderful, easy going Guide! All Essentials covered

Chris was a wonderful, friendly, accommodating, welcoming host. He shared the necessary information about the places we wanted to visit but did not burden us with too much information. Considering the distance to the parks from LA, we got to see quite a bit Definitely recommend for those people who dont have too much time.
