Traveler reviews
Great spots, poor organization
The tour fee was reasonable, and I would give our driver, Todd, 5 stars. He was accommodating and ultimately made an effort to address some of our concerns. Transportation was also very comfortable, and both Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon are absolutely beautiful destinations. Unfortunately, the tour itself was not well organized. The biggest issue was the lack of communication and information throughout the trip. There was no introduction at the beginning, no itinerary, and no overview of what we would be seeing or where we would be stopping. We expected a tour bus with a professional tour guide, but instead traveled in a comfortable Honda minivan with four paying passengers, the driver, and another person assisting the driver who never introduced himself. Shortly after departure, we were informed that the itinerary order had changed, which was not a problem. However, our first bathroom stop was a gas station where we had to purchase merchandise to use the restrooms. Later, we stopped in Mariposa for lunch and were simply told to buy food at a supermarket. Fortunately, we found a Mexican restaurant nearby, which turned out to be a much better option. At several scenic stops, we received little or no information about what we were seeing. For example, at one stop we were told to spend 15 minutes there but were not told it was Bridalveil Fall. We only learned this by reading the informational signs ourselves. We also visited Yosemite Falls, several granite formations, and Tunnel View, where we could see El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall. The scenery was spectacular, but the lack of explanation significantly diminished the experience. That evening, we were told there would be no dining options near the hotel and were offered a stop at a Chinese buffet. We accepted, but the food quality was poor. We then arrived at the Best Western in Selma, not Fresno as advertised. While the bed was comfortable, the strong chemical odor throughout the hallway and room was almost unbearable. The second day was dedicated to Kings Canyon and the giant sequoias. To our surprise, the itinerary did not include a visit to the General Sherman Tree, the largest living tree in the world. After some discussion, Todd agreed to take us there, which we greatly appreciated. On the return trip, we stopped at Popeyes for lunch (not what we were expecting) before being dropped off at our final destination. Overall, the destinations were magnificent, the transportation was comfortable, and the driver was helpful. However, this felt more like a transportation service than a guided tour. The constant lack of information left us not knowing where we were going, why we were stopping, or what we were supposed to see. A guided tour should provide context, explanations, and a clear itinerary. Unfortunately, this tour did not.
An amazing trip
Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon National Park are both breathtaking destinations with stunning natural scenery. The giant sequoias, majestic mountains, and beautiful valleys made this trip truly memorable. We were also very satisfied with the tour company’s service.
