Robert was very personable, friendly and kind. His knowledge of the park educational, interesting and just what we were looking for. Robert gave us the flexibly to explore the waterfalls and hoke a bit. He spent the whole day with us and we never felt rushed. At the end he even suggested a place to eat.. it was a good choice! Thank you Robert and Crossroads for a great day!

Dynamic Duo

Bridget_G, May 2023

We had two excellent drivers, James & Mike, due to the road closure. Even though this unfortunate circumstance made them drive out of their way to do the tour, each man was very polite and friendly on their leg of the tour. We learned lots of information about Yosemite and the surrounding towns. Both gentlemen made us feel safe and comfortable. We would definitely go on a tour with either or both gentlemen again.

Great Tour and Guide

Amazing tour with a wonderful guide!

Lindsay_C, Jul 2022

We had a wonderful tour. Our tour guide, Daniel, was so knowledgeable and made this trip a truly enjoyable experience. He taught us so much, not just about Yosemite but also the state of California. Can’t say enough great things about the tour and Daniel.

Fantastic way to view Yosemite

Dagmar_C, Jun 2022

Absolutely fantastic way to view yosemite all in one day. Daniel our driver made this experience. He was very knowledgable and extremely friendly. We felt very safe driving around in a luxurious ford expedition with all round viewing through large windows and open top roof. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Request Laura! She was extremely knowledgeable about local history and all things Yosemite. Super friendly, flexible and all about making it the trip you want it to be. The money is well worth it for getting a strong understanding of the area and a fun experience.

Private Yosemite tour

David_S, Oct 2021

Richard our tour guy was fantastic. So much information. History of Yosemite was on point. Richard is a mountaineer and had such exciting stores of past climbs. The vehicle was a full size Expedition with massive sun roof. Perfect vehicle for this type of tour.

Maureen_P, Oct 2021

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the park for our group of 5 friends. Brian was our guide and was very knowledgeable about Yosemite. We enjoyed learning about the trees, history of the park and all the great vistas. We would recommend this trip however we were concerned that due to the lack of vaccination of our driver we were required to wear our masks and keep our windows open for our trip.

A Day to Remember

Leen-v, Jul 2020

A Day to Remember Sometimes in life you need a place to rest and reflect, Yosemite is one of those enchanted places. Brian our tour guide enhanced our visit with his knowledge and experience as his warm and pleasant demeanor. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour ; it was a day to remember always.

Per chi vuole massimizzare il proprio tempo a Yosemite

Andrea_C, Aug 2023

Ottimo tour che permette di massimizzare il tempo a disposizione per visitare Yosemite senza dover cercare strade tra un punto e l’altro (le distanze sono talvolta notevoli) e sottostare ai tempi dei tour con gruppi. Ottimo il pranzo al sacco offerto; una stella in meno perché il nostro mezzo di trasporto è stato un van Mercedes e non un Hummer. Poco male per noi ma penso sarebbe più onesto indicare che l’Hummer è una possibilità, non una certezza.

Außergewöhnlich

chrismg266, Nov 2019

Fantastischer Ausflug ins Yosemite-Valley mit einem tollen Guide in einem tollen Auto - und das Abseits des normalen Touristenstroms - jeden cent wert
