What To Expect

The tour is planned and written by our team of historians and archaeologists and is vibrantly narrated by voice over artist Daniel Frazer. With wit, humour and expert knowledge, Daniel will guide you through Yosemite history spanning from thousands of years ago to the present day. Once you’ve parked your vehicle (please note entrance and parking fees need to be booked separately), use the provided map to make your way to the tour’s start location. Highlight One: Glacier Point is one of California’s most acclaimed natural viewpoints. Here you’ll have an opportunity to take heart-stopping photos before you continue along the trail. Highlight Two: Take in the elegant Illilouette Falls. Its unassuming location often evades other visitors to the park, but it is well worth the visit. Highlight Three: You will be enchanted by the falling water and hanging gardens of the Emerald Pools, a magical location steeped in history and legend. Highlight Four: Prepare to be floored by the power and magnitude of the famous Nevada Fall. The four hour tour also encompasses a host of other exciting stories and surprises and you can be sure of breathtaking views almost every step of the way.
