Took the small group tour to Yosemite National Park. It was one of the best tours we have had. Brian our tour guide made this 1 day trip to Yosemite amazing. He packed in a visit and photo opps to all the major sites in Yosemite . We highly recommend tours with Best Bay. They do not disappoint at all.

This tour was well worth the time and cost. Though honestly, thought it was a pretty good deal! Kathy was our tour guide and John was our driver. We saw the city in a luxury van (think leather seats, high ceilings, black luxury vehicle) with stops for short walks, photo opportunities and historical and anecdotal stories about every part of the tour! We had just 2 days to explore the city, and this 5 hour event was the most efficient way to see all the popular sites. Including an impromptu visit to City Hall, which is gorgeous by the way. Stops included (not in order): Lombard Street, Cable Car Museum, City Hall, Golden Gate Bridge for a photo, Painted Ladies, Sausalito for lunch, ferry ride past Alcatraz, Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, Grace Cathedral, and more. For my mom and me, this was the perfect way to see the city. Highly recommend!
