Day trip to Yosemite National Park
The trip was memorable. Michael, who drove us and guided us throughout the trip was truly amazing. He took care of all the smallest details to ensure that we were always comfortable and enjoyed our trip thoroughly surrounded by intersting informations around the various highlights. We got enough time for taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. Definitely a highlight besides the park itself: the picknick incl. some great wine. We fully enjoyed the beauty of Yosemite Park and the various sights on the way to the park.

Yosemite National Park 2-Day Winter Tour from San Francisco

What a Wonderful 2 Day Adventure
We had the most wonderful time on our Incredible Adventures trip to Yosemite. Unfortunately our original trip was changed but Beth, at Incredible Adventures, did everything she could to manage and accommodate our expectations, she went above and beyond. Our guide on the first day, Phil Novak, also went above and beyond. He was so thorough with his narrative and pointed everything out on our journey to the park and also whilst we were in the national park. We felt sad when he left at the end of our first day. However, his instructions and guidance on how to spend our 2nd day made sure we got the best out of it. Sadly the guide who collected us and took us back to San Francisco fell quite short. No narrative at all, no interesting facts - nothing. He was a disappointment - the people on his day trip said he was completely uninformative for their whole day. THANK GOODNESS WE HAD PHIL NOVAK AND BETH ON OUR TEAM.

This was a great audio guide!
I've been to Point Reyes any number of times, but I was going with someone who had never been before so I was looking for a list of sites to stop at and this popped up. It was worth EVERY penny! The narration was great, it gave a lot of information and told you where to turn and park in order to see things, and we really enjoyed listening to it as we drove through the park. Fantastic guide!

Amazing Tour with Kind People and Great Memories
I truly enjoyed the 2-day Yosemite tour. Our guide MITCH was very kind and thoughtful — he spoke slowly and used simple English so that even I, as a non-native speaker, could easily understand. He also took us to many great photo spots and helped us take wonderful pictures. Everything was well organized and the hotel was in a great location — very convenient and comfortable after a long day of exploring. I also made new friends with other participants, and we had such a fun time together. I really appreciate the guide’s kindness and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Yosemite.

Although the Academy was excellent there were some problems with the ticketing that should be addressed. Nobody seemed to know about the tickets that were supposed to be issued to us on arrival but the staff did sort out the problem without too many hassles.

It was a fantastic tour - great value for what is included! Only complaint is that we didn't get to see as much as the academy afterwards since it closes at 10pm. Suggest taking the 6pm tour and don't miss the earthquake simulator!

Quick and refreshing trip to Lake Tahoe
Amazing location. The driver was very nice. Came on time ( 5:30 AM) to pick us up. Gave us enough time to explore the lake, beach. He made sure he gave us privacy to enjoy as a family but was available whenever we wanted. Dropped us back by 7:30 PM. Worth a trip if anyone wants a one day trip to the lake.
