A "Bucket List" visit to Yosemite National Park almost did not eventuate!! Following months of planning our pre booked tour to the Park was cancelled We,( my Son, Granddaughter and I) arrived late afternoon in Fresno having travelled quite a long distance there in an SUV with the idea of visiting Yosemite next morning. However the tour was cancelled due to insufficient numbers. It was to be our second last day in USA as we were returning home to Australia. We were devastated as there was little hope of us returning in the future - so near and yet so far. The Co-ordinator from Crossroads Tours was sympathetic to our plight and arranged to provide a special private tour for the 3 of us. To our delight and early start the next morning the wonderful Daniel came to our rescue - and so began one of the most interesting and memorable days of our lives. Daniel told us how he and his siblings had used Yosemite as their playground when they were growing up as they lived in Oakdale close by. He told us countless entertaining stories in a quiet and engaging way and encouraged us to ask questions. No questions were left unanswered, his knowledge is superior. His knowledge was endless about the early inhabitants of the Park, the different tribes of Indians and their survival in harsh conditions; the settlers who built cabins; the intrepid adventurers who still attempt to climb El Capitan every year; the animals who live in the Park; the names of the beautiful trees and herbs; waterfalls; mountains - so many incredible things. We were thrilled when it began snowing during lunch at the beautiful old Hotel and excited with the picture postcard scenes we captured in photos to take home to show friends. Daniel gallantly saved my mum more than once from sliding in the snow!! We did not want the day to end. Without our excellent guide Daniel, it would never have started. You will not be disappointed by requesting Daniel to be your guide. BECAUSE OF YOU DANIEL WE HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF YOSEMITE THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE 3 OF US.

This trip we had limited days to be in the Park and thought a tour would be a great way to catch the highlights and learn a bit too. We found Crossroads Tours through the Trip Advisor app. There are several companies available but we chose Crossroads because of the small group size limits - max 12. Our group was six which was wonderful. My husband and I are both in our 60's and have lived in California most of our lives. Each of us have been to Yosemite many times, but this was the first time either one of us had been on an organized tour. Our guide Daniel was born and raised in the Yosemite area and his family has been in the area for generations so he has a lot of historical knowledge and personal stories to share. We are history aficionados and we were delighted with all the new things we learned about Yosemite and California history too! We highly recommend touring with Crossroads Tours for first time visitors to Yosemite and seasoned visitors who want to learn more about the unique history of Yosemite!

Excellent tour of the most interesting part of the area, a small group, Laura Ullmann was our guide and I thought the information with an unmatched passion that she shared with us was spectacular, one hundred percent recommended

Changed our vehicle from Hummer to Jeep the day before we were set to take the tour. They told us the Hummer was not mechanically sound. This did not work for us because we were a party of four. Jeep would be to small for 4 plus the driver so we canceled and were told we would be refunded. We did not get the refund. We were later told it was because we did not cancel within 24 hours. They sent us an email at 10:18 the morning before our tour was scheduled. Our tour was supposed to start at 7am. That is not 24 hours notice that our vehicle was being changed so how could we have canceled within 24 hours? So we are out $1268 and received no tour. Total scam. They had months to tell us about the vehicle change. Stay away from this scam! I have emails to back up my claims.

Laura was an amazing guide. She knows so much about Yosemite and is so kind. She also took great photos of us. Highly recommend this company and Laura in particular as a guide

Wrote in twice to enquire, gave the benefit of doubt they did not receive first enquiry. Wrote in again, no response. Disappointing.

We did not even go on the tour. We were to have the tour booked on 10/2/23- I had scheduled way in advance, talked to a agent, and had received several emails to print my tickets. On September 27th I received an email with no explanation that my tour was canceled and my money was being refunded. When I contacted the agent the answer I got is that it was canceled for "unforeseen circumstances" . Very unreliable and unprofessional.

Brian was a great tour guide, he was super knowledgeable and helped us make the most of our day at Yosemite. Rather than worrying about driving and traffic, we were able to sit back and enjoy the scenery and get a lot of knowledge about the park and its history, as well as recent events, like fires.

We are in our 70’s so are not likely to ever see Yosemite now. The tour we had booked for September 21 was cancelled, however we had to call Crossroads to find out. They did not answer my emails to confirm a pickup time and place, so part of the time we were concerned it is was not a real enterprise. They did refund $800 we had paid in advance within a few days. Would have liked to give a good review. We used the day to go to Sequoia park by ourselves, which was nice.

We spent 8 days in and around Yosemite and this was by far our best day ! It was a great overview of the park and done in such a way to allow us to see many areas and know where we may want to explore more later on. Juli was fun and had lots of info to tell, and was an excellent driver high up on the somewhat stress- inducing mountain roads ( for those afraid of heights that is) Would highly recommend to first time visitors as well as veterans of Yosemite.

We had an absolutely amazing time with our guide Juli. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the park and knew exactly where to go for breathtaking views. She brought pictures of her at a child at different locations in the park, she had old newspapers clippings about different happenings, and overall provided a truly magical one of a kind experience.

I contracted with Crossroads Tours for a transfer from my hotel to the Fresno airport. My pick up time was 7:45AM. At 7:55, I called and I was informed that the driver was on his way and would be there momentarily. Several calls were made to Crossroads and each time they said the driver would be there momentarily. The driver was 35 minutes late and drove like a mad man. Not only did I nearly miss my flight, but I had to contend with seriously poor driving because this company did not keep their word. I cannot state strongly enough to everyone to not use this company. They are UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE and ARROGANT.

Booked a transfer from Oakhurst to Fresno airport 2 weeks in advance. They completely forgot about the reservation. After numerous calls and texts they showed up 35 minutes late and the passenger barely made the flight. After contacting them to get a partial refund, they blocked me. I reached out to them from a different phone number and the owner Ramesh Gurnani said "F*ck off you piece of sh*t". Words cannot explain how terrible this company and its ownership are. DO NOT USE!

My wife and I have done a lot of tours and Juli, our driver and tour guide, was in the top one or two. We were apprehensive about being in a van with 6 other people we didn't know for nine hours (they were great), but this trip was well worth it. Juli was the best driver down those very curvy roads (my wife is usually car-sick in the first 30 minutes- but even she liked it). We received a very good cross section of the highlights of Yosemite. The highlight for me was seeing the climbers on El Capitan (Juli had binoculars!). For my wife, it was the view from Glacier Point. The next day we hiked 4 miles up to Nevada Falls and then saw the sequoias at Mariposa Grove- all at Juli's recommendation. Highly recommend this tour...especially early in your visit to Yosemite.

Our guide Laura was enthusiastic from 6.30am when she picked us up for our full day tour, her knowledge was amazing and helped that she had lived and worked in the area for many years. Laura took us to all the best spots to make our experience amazing. The benefit of having a guide meant she knew all the best spots for photos and was able to make the most of our time as she would take the car to park it and drop us off while she did this. The lunch was lovely but was made better where we had it with the best view out the way of the crowds
