Incredible experience. Our tour guide, Jud, was very personable and fun! He took the time to get to know all of us and made the experience even better. It was stress free as the company ensured we hit all of the best spots. The communication from the company was top notch from the day we booked it.

Avoid Incredible Tours

Bandana_J, Apr 2024

The us seats were too small leg space was almost nil and in such a long tour of the basics were not right the entire trip gets spoiled

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello! We're sorry the seat size and leg space didn't meet your expectations. The vehicle sizes are standard and we are known for running small tours so we rarely use a bigger size bus. Thank you for your imput.

Good tour

Meilyn_P, Mar 2024

Annie, our guide was great and informative. Due to the weather the Goant Sequoias part of the itinerary got canceled but they gave is extra time in Yosemite which was good.

Fun day!

Whirlwind Adventure with Room for More

Benoit_P, Nov 2023

Our tour guide was exceptionally nice, making the journey even more enjoyable. Pickup was a breeze at Union Square, with the car arriving promptly at 6:20, and we were on our way by 6:40. The visit to the Giant Sequoias was well-timed, providing 1.5 hours to explore, which felt just right. However, upon reaching Yosemite Valley at 2 pm, the crowds were overwhelming, leaving us with a brief 1.5-hour window. It allowed a glimpse of the majestic waterfall, but more time would have been ideal. A quick stop around El Capitan added a nice touch to the tour. While the day trip covers the essentials, a suggestion for future travelers would be to consider a 2-day trip for a more immersive Yosemite experience. Overall, a great way to capture the highlights in a day, but the beauty of Yosemite deserves a bit more time.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We appreciate your valuable feedback and are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience. Thank you for your feedback! We understand that Yosemite Park is quite a distance from San Francisco and due to its vastness We recommend booking the overnight tour or the 3+ days tour so you can have more time to explore the beauty of Yosemite.

Scam!!!

Bart_H, Nov 2022

Super bad. First of all, the bus was too late by almost an hour, so we had to visit several other hotel pickup points, and finally, after 2 hours, the tour "guide" (driver) explained the day's program. 4 hour's a drive to Yosemite park; stay there for 3 hours and back. No guided hiking tour (as promoted on the website) and no sequoias. More passengers were upset, but we stepped out of the bus as the sequoias were the single purpose of this day trip. This is one big scam. How can I get my money back????

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thanks for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience with Incredible Adventures and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. We are sorry your travel agency did not inform you about the tour highlights. We have 2 different tours to Yosemite and the one you booked did not include the hike to the Sequoias. We value our customers' opinions and would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention; please contact us directly at info@incadventures.com with your booking number and our customer care team will be happy to give you personalized assistance.

The trip was definitely...

Nidhin_P, Nov 2022

The trip was definitely long, but seeing the Sequoias and Yosemite was beautiful. Our tour guide was wonderful. Sharing tidbits about SF, yosemite. He also made sure we got the best photos / views among the crowds.
