Amazing natural wonders a jaw dropping experiencealan b
This was a great way to see Yosemite. Train transfer from San Fransisco was straigtforward but note that you must get the Amtrak shuttle bus (included in your ticket) to the train station in Oakland before connecting with the train to Fresno. The hotel provides a shuttle service in Fresno and the accomodation was fine but be aware that the day of the Yosemite tour starts early. Tour was excellent with the guide well informed but the distances covered take a long time due to the size of Yosemite. Interesting packed lunch with good sized sandwich but there is an option to get lunch at the hotel restaurant in Yousemite. Lots to see & pack into a day but worth it. Note that you need to leave the park in good time to make the train connection for the return journey.
May 31, 2019, 12:49:32 PM We had a wonderful trip to Yosemite. Everything was well organised with plenty of time given at each spot to take photos or to just simply stand and admire the stunning scenery. Plenty of useful information was given and our driver was very friendly and helpful. He did everything possible to ensure that we got the most out of our trip. Thank you.
Yosemite Tour from San Francisco by Buss and Trainkaren_r
Our guide from Crossroads was everything anyone could have asked for. The weather kept us from seeing many of the parts of the park we had hoped to see, but he was so comfortable in the Valley that he showed us portions that would not have been on the regular tour. Totally amazing day and well worth the price!
If you book thru Viator, be careful. There was a train schedule change that caused us to miss it. Amtrak told us Viator had beed notified two weeks before. We were not!!! Luckily there was a later Train that got us to our hotel in Fresno by 12:00 midnight. We were picked up the next morning at 6:30. Not a good start.
Viator's Web Site does not give all of the information that is needed nor does it keep you informed of changes. I do not know if this is the responsibility of Crossroads or Viator, but beware!
