About Yosemite National Park: Full Day Tour from San Francisco Day Tours

Escape the city and immerse yourself in the majestic grandeur of Yosemite National Park on this full-day guided tour from San Francisco. Cruise through towering granite cliffs, thundering waterfalls, and ancient giant sequoias with an expert driver-guide leading the way.

Local Legends & Stories

Yosemite Valley holds deep spiritual significance for the Ahwahneechee people, who called this land home for thousands of years before it became a national park. The name 'Yosemite' is believed to derive from the Miwok word 'Yo-semite,' meaning 'they are grizzlies.'
