We were thrilled seeing...
We were thrilled seeing Yosemite Park. Absolutely breathtaking views. Commendations to our tour guide Bryan and driver Travis. They were geniunely concerned in our safety and enjoyment. We got lost and a bit late to return and they took the effort to wait and find us. We also experienced seeing a wild bear and same manager fire which made the tour unforgetable.

The tour guide and bus...
The tour guide and bus driver were great. Yosemite is a beauty everybody should see if they can. The con was regarding the bus operations. It was a very warm day and the a/c was not working. This made a long day feel even longer. The driver attempted to open the roof hatches for ventilation and we were told he was unable to which seems like that would be a safety issue.
