The website was easy to navigate. I chose this company because we had a limited time in Yosemite and covered all the must see sights. Our guide Erin was AMAZING!!! She was easy to connect with, understood our fitness levels and adjusted accordingly, taught us a lot about Yosemite and was a true pleasure for our 5 and a half hour hike. Would highly recommend!!!
Great tour despite one of the hottest days

My 16 year old daughter and me were doing a Yosemite hiking tour first time and it was one of the hottest days in the year but our marvellous guide Emily just found the perfect hike that we could handle it and we saw most of the spectacular sights.
Unforgettable Yosemite adventure with the best guide!

I recently explored Yosemite National Park with an amazing guide, and I can't recommend him enough. Here's why: - Expert Know-How: Our guide knew Yosemite inside out, making every moment informative and fun. - Passion and Energy: He brought the park to life with his infectious enthusiasm. - Safe and Smart: Our guide started early to avoid traffic and the scorching heat, keeping us comfortable. - Friendly and Relaxed: He was not just knowledgeable but also super-friendly, answering our questions with a smile. - Tailored Fun: The adventure was personalized with our preferred vista points. An unforgettable Yosemite experience.

Gus was a great guide with a lot of knowlegde - but paying 500$ for a 3h hike on a path which is laid out is not appropriate

John was a great guide. He took us for a 6 miles walking tour at a comfortable pace, telling us about the area as we went and allowing time to rest and take pictures. We wanted to see giant sequoias but the Mariposa grove was closed so John directed us to a different sequoia grove. Overall very good experience, would recommend.
