More Yosemite Train Tour Information:
This Yosemite Tour by Train (1 Day) is very popular. Book Early. No other tour company from San Francisco or East Bay, California has the Amtrak train option as part of their Yosemite tour. On the way home we are taking a shuttle back to the Train Station and then another 2 hour Amtrak train ride (with restrooms and cafe).
One of the options to consider: is Pricing Option #3, booking the 2 Hour Open-Air
Tram Tour that is guided by Park Rangers for an additional $25 above the $129 adult price above. If you do this, it's an open air tram (weather permitting) so bring a hat to reduce sun exposure. It's one of the best valley floor tours around (if not, the best). If you choose not to do the 2 hour tram tour, you will get free time on your own.
Note: The key location point is Yosemite Lodge at the Falls Hotel. That is where you will be dropped off and that is where you will pick up our shuttle at 4:30 pm to start your return trip to San Francisco. No worries, there is a Tour Guide with you during these important elements of the tour such as during the train and shuttle rides to give you important information and make sure you do not get lost during the tour. Finally, we provide hotel drop-off for San Francisco customers who are staying at either a Union Square or Financial District hotel. Otherwise, you will be dropped off at a Taxi or Trolley stand to get to your hotel. Please call us at 415-513-5400 for more information on this Yosemite Tour.


The Yosemite Train Tour is even more wonderful with the Open-Air Valley Floor Tram Tour Option. If you choose this option for an additinal $25 added to the $129 adult price, you should know that there will be no roof over your head, which is what you don't want anyways when you get to Yosemite National Park.
* Those that do not choose the Open-Air Valley Floor Tram Tour will have free time. Your tour guide will give you lots of ideas on how to use that time.
Yosemite Train Tour is a Great value for only $129 per person or ($154 with Open-Air Tram Tour)

You will know you made the right decision once the train starts rolling toward Yosemite.
