Yosemite National Park 2-Day Tour from San Francisco with Lodging

Amazing experience
Eventhough we didn't get to see any bears or coyotes, this was still a trip of a lifetime. Phil our guide was excellent, very knowledgable and very helpful. The stops and look out points were great and we didn't feel rushed. The scenery was awe inspiring and the itinery was great. My husband has limited mobility and we adapted to his needs without compromising the experience. We opted to stay overnight at yosemite valley lodge and were glad it was just one night, as although the surfaces were clean the floor was dirty and covered in chocolate wrappers from a ptevious occupant. The location was worth it and we got to see the deer and stella jays, plus the walk to cooks meadow and lower yosemite falls was close by. We used the free park shuttle which was helpful and easy to navigate. We wished we had more time and money to stay longer and see more but it was an amazing experience.

Fantastic One Day Intro to San Fran

San Francisco, Golden Gate, Sausalito and Muir Woods Private Tour

Fantastic One Day Intro to San Fran
This is a fantastic way to hit up a bunch of San Fran highlights if you are short on time but desire to experience all that San Fran has to offer. Forest was very knowledgeable about the area and history. Muir Woods was definitely a highlight as were all of the viewpoints of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge. This tour is great for small groups who want a personalized experience, avoid big groups, flex a bit on the amount of time at each stop, and enjoy personalized conversation with your guide.

Full Day Tour: Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Napa & Sonoma Wineries
Octavia_G, Aug 2026
🍷✨ A little wine, a little luxury, and a day well spent 🥂🌿
If you’re looking for an effortless way to escape San Francisco and experience wine country, add this tour to your list 🤍From the moment we left the city, the day was relaxed and beautifully paced. Our driver, Steve, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable and arrived safely. The soft music along the way was such a lovely touch. 🚐🎶Korbel Vineyard was absolutely beautiful and steeped in history. 🍇✨ And the Korbel Deli? Chef’s kiss 🥪🤌🏾 The perfect little bite after wine tasting. We even spotted a couple saving their sandwiches for a redwood trail picnic… effortlessly romantic. 🌲💕Russian River Vineyard was equally charming, with more of a refined restaurant-meets -wine-tasting atmosphere. 🍷🍽️My only note: the panoramic windows made for gorgeous views, but the bus did get a bit warm at times. ☀️Overall, this was such a beautiful, relaxing, and memorable way to experience wine country without worrying about driving. Highly recommend for a girls’ day, a romantic outing, or simply a “I deserve a beautiful day” kind of day. 💅🏾🥂

Day trip to Muir Woods and Sonoma/Napa Wine tastings
Glenda was good tour guide and kept us entertained throughout the day with her know how of the SF and stories. Muir Woods was fascinating to see as there’s nothing like it in the East Coast. We had 3 good wine tasting stops and we were able to eat at Sonoma. At the end because there was a little time left we were even able to do an extra quick stop at the Golden Gate Bridge to take pictures that everyone appreciated.

Budget friendly tour
New York City
Full Day Tour: Muir Woods, Sausalito, and Napa & Sonoma Wineries
Laura_B, Jun 2026
Budget friendly tour
There were 2 wine tastings with a stop at the redwoods between. The first winery was Korbel, which is large scale champagne production and you tour the old historic factory (no modern facilities on tour). This was my favorite of the three sites. 4 samples with brief descriptions from the winery guide, then we bought lunch to go at their deli to take to the woods. Each stop was a little over an hour. The woods were nice, it was a self directed walk, meet back at the bus at a designated time. We did not have time to walk to the Armstrong tree because we went to the picnic area to eat instead, others in the group were glad they saw it though. Plan to bring or buy lunch. The last stop was Russian river winery, this was just a tasting, 5 samples, no tour or food pairing, and they bought grapes from other vineyards. You had the opportunity to purchase food here as well. Overall we had a fun time, found the price budget friendly compared to other tours. The price is low because no food is included so plan for that, but totally reasonable considering the 1.5 hr drive. We walked a little over a mile, flat ground in the woods, so comfortable shoes are helpful. The tour guide bus driver was friendly and gave some local history on the drive and the actual wine portions were handled by winery employees. This was a large bus, but less than half full with about 10 passengers on my weekday tour. I would go again, or recommend to others.

Well-run tour
The tour was really well organised. Everything ran on time, we stopped at all the right attractions, and there was plenty of time to explore and take photos without feeling rushed. Communication from the team was also excellent, with clear and timely WhatsApp updates that made everything smooth and stress-free.Andy our tour guide made the whole experience even better. He was funny, friendly, and really helpful, taking everyone’s photos and going the extra mile to get the perfect angles (even lying on his back in front of El Capitan for the shot), sharing interesting facts about the giant sequoias. He even sang to wake us up at the dinner spot!A great, well-run tour made even more memorable thanks to Andy’s energy and humour
