Great experience! The tour went exactly as planned, and our guide, Mr. Ben, was knowledgeable and ensuring all our needs were met throughout the trip.
Yosemite Escape Camping - 3 DaysThe guide Jaymes was excellent. The tour was run at a comfortable pace with many highlights. It was "incredibly" disappointing that the first night's accommodation (of 3) was outside the Yosemite NP. This added hours of additional travel (driving) and a lost opportunity to spend quality time in the NP. This accommodation at Yosemite Bug was very poor. Incredible Adventures needs to address this - even if the tour cost is a little more.
Yosemite & Tahoe Sierras - 4 DaysGreat way to travel and meet new people! Changes were made to the itinerary due to road/trail closures but it worked out in the best way. CEO adapted meals for vegetarian travelers in the group. I would book with them again!
