Kristina was our guide for our tour and she is also the owner. We did the Jeep tour which included stops at granite plains, Bass Lake Vista and also Sequoia Grove. Drove through some streams, saw a lot forest and just breathed in fresh air and the smells all around were great. She was very informative about the area and was a pleasure to have her as our guide. All the reviews are spot on.
We booked this Jeep Safari as part of our family trip to California in July 2019. We booked the three hour tour and this took us way up into the Sierra Nevada Nation Forest with some incredible mountain and lake views. Our guide / driver was super friendly and well informed. This was one of the many highlights of our holiday and we are so glad we did it. It's a great contrast from the roads of the National Parks to be on a single track rough road with no-one else around. Unforgettable experience.
My family and I love jeep tours and try to go on one every vacation. Sierra Nevada Motorsports is definitely customer service oriented. I booked online, and they accepted my date even thought they were "officially closed." My family of 4 to the 3/4 hour jeep with Chase. He was a local and was able to tell lots of history about the area. We went on a short hike to see a the Nedler grove of Sequoias. We had the place to ourselves. Then we went to see an amazing vista of Bass Lake. The trip was awesome and Chase made it so. The ride was a little rough, but in a good way. The kids and the adults loved it.
