Awesome your!!!
Everything was perfect, from the booking process to the end of the tour. The route was awesome, Mick showed us a lot of beautiful places explaining us all the things we wanted to know about Yosemite. We recommend Crossroad Tours to all of you who want to visit this amazing national park, and ask for Mick. Thank you so much Mick!!!

A great way to see Yosemite

Semi Private Yosemite Tour with Ahwahnee Lunch - with Hotel Pickup !
Having Laura as our guide was an amazing way to see Yosemite. The stories and tid bits of details gave another dimension to our experience. We enjoyed every minute and learnt so much. Even though we couldn’t enjoy a sit down lunch at the Ahwahnee Hotel because of the Covid restrictions, the packed lunch provided was super delicious and we could sit in the hotel and enjoy the ambience. Laura was a hoot and such enjoyable company! Highly recommended!!

Absolutely fantastic way to view yosemite all in one day. Daniel our driver made this experience. He was very knowledgable and extremely friendly. We felt very safe driving around in a luxurious ford expedition with all round viewing through large windows and open top roof. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Architecture of theAhwahnee Hotel

In an effort to attract more affluent visitors to the park, this historic hotel was commissioned in the 1920s. Some 5,000 tons (4,536 metric tons) of stone, 30,000 feet (9,144 meters) of lumber, and 1,000 tons (907 metric tons) of steel were brought in for construction. The design takes inspiration from art deco, Native American, and Middle Eastern cultures, with details like stained glass windows, hand-woven tapestries, and hand-stenciled ceiling beams.
