Step by Step

Forget the big impersonal buses and experience Yosemite in a small group where every stop is designed to capture the best views without the crowds. After picking you up at your hotel, you'll drive approximately 3 hours to Yosemite National Park, while your guide shares facts about the geology, flora and history of the tribes that inhabit the Sierra.

The first stop is Glacier Point (if the road is open), a world-famous lookout point with views stretching from Half Dome to the depths of the valley. Next, you'll descend into Yosemite Valley, where you'll visit Tunnel View, Bridalveil Falls, El Capitan, Yosemite Falls and other iconic landmarks, with time to walk along the Merced River and photograph every nook and cranny.

Halfway through the day, you'll enjoy lunch at the historic Ahwahnee Hotel, in an elegant lounge where you can choose from turkey, vegetarian or classic dagwood sandwiches - and get a souvenir T-shirt (while supplies last)!

After lunch, there's still time for a light walk on nearby trails or to take in the waterfalls and rock formations that make Yosemite such a natural treasure. Finally, you will return to your accommodation with the feeling that you have explored the essence of the park in a single day.

This tour is perfect for photographers, families, couples or any nature lover looking for an intimate and well-guided experience. In winter, at least two couples are required to operate the tour, and in the event of road closures, your guide will adjust the itinerary to offer alternative sites.
