What To Expect
Tunnel View
Time to whip out your cameras, the next stop is Tunnel View! Tunnel view provides one of the most famous views of Yosemite Valley. From here you can see El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall rising from Yosemite Valley, with Half Dome in the background.
Lower Yosemite Fall Trail
art of North America's tallest waterfall, Lower Yosemite Fall is the final 320-foot (98-meter) drop. Deafening in spring and early summer when the waterfall peaks in volume, you can expect to get sprayed with water when standing on the footbridge near its base. This short, easy walk rewards with spectacular views of both Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. This paved loop trail offers different vantage points of Yosemite Falls and Yosemite Creek, and you can stop at the many exhibits to learn more about the natural and cultural history of the area.

5.00This was a fun relaxing experience. Loved the truly semi-private feel of the tour. Small group not to crowded just the right amount to comfortably fit inside the van, chat and receive the personal tour feel from the tour guide. The van had I believe 11 seats but not every seat was used which allowed for more comfort. Our tour guide was Gerry who was so nice, and made sure we were comfortable and had exactly what we needed throught the tour. We never felt rushed we could take our time at every stop and fully take in and enjoy the experience. We also received freshly made sandwiches for lunch the tour guide Gerry made sure to reach out the day before the tour to personally place the order for each sandwich. We had a beautiful lunch with an extraordinary view from deep inside the park I was blown away it was a beautiful picnic in the middle of the mountains!! The ride in the car was smooth, the tour guide arrived on time was very nice, the van was roomy and clean and there was plenty of water and snacks if needed. I would 100% recommend this tour.
Great experience

5.00Alexis is very knowledgeable about 3 National Parks near Fresno. The Yosemite day trip was well planned, but Alexis was quick to make changes as needed, especially in the case that of 2 of our riders were elderly & needed assistance with walking. Alexis was able to answer many questions with her experiences in the park.
Only way to enjoy the national parks!

5.00Yosemite was one park I kept putting off and when I finally decided and booked, I didn’t even know I was going during waterfall season! What a treat. Alexis was a joy as a guide. She was organized and fully knowledgeable about the park and the surrounding areas. She was also a wealth of information about some other parks in the wider PNW that are now on my bucket list. Will definitely be favoring “Authentic Adventures” for my next park tour.
Highly recommended

5.00Another great day spent with Kristi showing us her old stomping grounds! She grew up nearby so knew all the roads like the back of her hand! Friendly and informative and got us the best photograph stops! Even when we thought the fog would deter our plans, she worked around it and got us the views we wanted! Highly recommend these girls and their tours!! They're adaptable to your needs/wants when it was just us. And thankful for that as we had my 84-yr-old Daddy with us. We skipped the hike and saw all the sights instead! Book it...you won't be sorry!!
Great professional attitude of Mark Daniels

5.00Had a chance to chat with that wonderful agent Mark Daniels who went out of the way to suggest me various options. While I am still yet to book I am amazed at the wonderfully professional attitude of Mark who must truly be an asset to the organisation. God bless
Best Way to Visit Yosemite!

5.00This small group tour was perfect. Kristy was very prompt, friendly and accommodating. She knew a lot about the area and we enjoyed her stories. Be prepared for a long day of traveling. However, there were multiple stops with restrooms at every stop. Lunch was a sandwich of choice, simple but satisfying. I wish I had brought my own snacks but there were good opportunities to buy snacks at some of the stops. The vehicle was very nice and comfortable. We were definitely spoiled by the ride itself. The sights we visited were unbelievably breathtaking. Kristy navigated the way with a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm. There was time to do some exploring on our own at each stop. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable trip. We hope to be back to support this awesome and locally owned business again in the future.
Great day with a great tour guide.

5.00Enjoyed our day with Alexis. She picked us up in Fresno and we (two couples from NorCal) enjoyed our tour and her friendly/helpful personality. She was flexible in catering to our interests, spending more time in locations that we were particularly interested. She’s like that local friend or relative who is happy to host her visiting bffs …. excited to share one of the most beautiful parks in the world. Would highly recommend.

5.00Kristy took us on a 9 hour tour of Yosemite. Magnificent views of mountains, valleys and tours with the Sequoia trees being the highlight. She was an engaging and friendly guide with lots of information about the area in general. My advice is to choose your overnight location in Fresno carefully.
