Good tour but promised refund never come
A fantastic tour led by a very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide who knows the area inside out. Overall it was great. The only issue was the tour company promised a refund for our Uber taxi fare but despite my enquiries a few time I never received a reply which is totally unacceptable. So watch out if they promise you a refund when making a booking.
Response from the operator: We have been off for two weeks in November and just getting back in the office. Your money will be refunded no problem. Have you sent us the Uber receipt.

LA to Yosemite
Hi folks! If you want to do this trip, I suggest you just get a tour for the yosemite part of the trip, and then make sure that there is not a lot of time designated to picking up and dropping off other people who are joining your group who are not REALLY close by. At least, 4 fours of the day was designated to picking up and dropping off other people. You get to see half dome and el capitan and the falls, and a few of the smaller giant sequoias, and our driver Mick, was really nice, knowledgeable, loved what he does, and that was the good part. The best way to do it, is to drive to oakhurst, and stay there for the night, then spend a full day seeing and hiking yosemite, and sleep in oakhurst again, and drive back to LA the next day. Otherwise you need to take a bus from LA to Bakersfield, a train from Bakersfield to Fresno, and sleep in Fresno, AND THEN YOU ARE STILL AT LEAST 80 MINUTES DRIVE TO YOSEMITE!!! This was the second time I have been to Yosemite. It is worth the effort to visit!

Stunning Beauty
First when they say from Los Angeles by train that's sort of accurate. You board an Amtrak bus in Los Angeles to Bakersfield then catch a train to Fresno so just be aware when you book that's the actual trip detail. It's about 5 hours from L.A. to Fresno this way. We were met by the Crossroads Tours rep. in the morning at our hotel then drove about an hour up the mountain in her SUV to meet our Yosemite guide. We hooked up with Mick and continued the ride up the mountain in his SUV. Luckily, nobody else was on the tour that day so we had a private tour which was as good as it gets. Mick is an interesting character who is a pleasure to talk with and share life and travel stories. He is an expert on Yosemite and and will make sure you see all the sights that must be experienced. Great guy! You will walk away from the tour knowing the interesting facts about the history of the valley and see the interesting spots. Make sure you cell phone is well charged as you'll be taking a lot of pictures. The owner of Crossroads called a couple times after booking to ensure we received the e-tickets and were set for the trip which was nice and she was able to answer all questions right away. Be prepared to spend another hotel night in Fresno as leaving for L.A. when tour ends will get you into Union Station around 11:15pm so for us too late to catch connecting train down to Orange County. The train ride home was without any issues and the L.A. to Irvine train had some entertainment when the cars were full of drunks and one pulled the emergency brake resulting in a chase around the cars by the staff to catch the person who was then taken away by police. Great craft beer available in the train cafe along with cocktails if you wish.We'd recommend this tour with Crossroads to anyone....not the cheapest out there but you will go home happy to did it.....Insist on having Mick as your guide and all will be well....
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words

Good and bad Yosemite
The park and tour guide were wonderful. The SUV and lunch good. The bus and train horrible! Do not do this trip from LA!!
Response from the operator: Traveling in a train is excellent comfortable way to travel, sorry you didn’t have the same experience.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Yosemite and Glacier Point Tour from Los Angeles by Amtrak: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fresno.
How much does Yosemite and Glacier Point Tour from Los Angeles by Amtrak cost?
+
Prices start at $589 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fresno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yosemite and Glacier Point Tour from Los Angeles by Amtrak take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fresno is not rushed.
Is Yosemite and Glacier Point Tour from Los Angeles by Amtrak worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Fresno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yosemite and Glacier Point Tour from Los Angeles by Amtrak?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Yosemite and Glacier Point Tour from Los Angeles by Amtrak suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yosemite and Glacier Point Tour from Los Angeles by Amtrak?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fresno can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fresno and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yosemite and Glacier Point Tour from Los Angeles by Amtrak start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fresno within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fresno?
+
Fresno, CA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Fresno by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Fresno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour in Sequoia and Kings Canyon, Semi Private Tour to Sequoia National Park with Lunch, Private Yosemite & Glacier Point SUV / Van Tour Including Hotel Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Fresno?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Fresno, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fresno?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
