    Tour Details
    • Incredible AdventuresOperator•Written September 2026

      This is a great tour that includes visits to Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes and Lake Tahoe, plus so much more! We operate this tour June though September, with departures from San Francisco on Tuesday and return on Friday.

    Lynn

    Asked on June 9th, 2026

    Could you please clarify if these travellers can each book a private single supplement room option for this tour?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Incredible AdventuresOperator•Written June 2026

      Are the two travelers planning to travel on the same departure date and join the same tour, but would prefer to stay in separate rooms? If so, yes, that is possible. However, each traveler would need to book under the Single Occupancy option, as each person would have their own private room. If they select the Double Occupancy option, the pricing assumes that both travelers will be sharing the same room, which is why the rate is lower.

  • S

    Sandy

    Asked on May 31st, 2026

    I'm one person traveling alone and wanted to check if I would have my own private room? I'm not interested in sleeping in a room with a stranger. Also - Is this an active tour with hikes and a lot of movement or mostly geared towards an older crowd? I'm less interested in taking pictures and more interested in being active in pretty scenery.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    • Incredible AdventuresOperator•Written May 2026

      Yes, as a solo traveler you will have your own private room, so there's no need to share with anyone else. In terms of the experience, this is definitely an active tour. The itinerary includes several opportunities for hiking and exploring, so it's a great fit if you're looking to stay active and enjoy the scenery beyond just sightseeing.

    Asked on April 6th, 2026

    I'll be traveling to San Francisco and would like to explore availability for the first week of May. It seems like your tour is already sold out, and I realize this is a last-minute request, but I was curious if you might have space for one person. Your tour looks awesome, and I'll be leaving from the city center in San Francisco.
