What To Expect
This place is a must-stop before any trip to Sequoia National Park. Here we will stop, grab a cup of coffee, and some delicious pastries, and go over the details of the day. From their lattes to their italian sodas, you can not go wrong with a drink here. My favorites are their vanilla and spiced chai. As for food, you have lots of options, and their baked goods are all made in-house! If you are wanting something sweet, their scones and cinnamon rolls are to die for. My favorite go-to sandwich here is the spicy ring- a jalapeno cheese homemade bagel with a sausage quiche. There are keto, vegetarian and gluten free options here too.
Giant Forest Museum
The museum is housed in a historic market in the Giant Forest sequoia grove at 6,500 feet (1,980 m) elevation. Explore exhibits about sequoias and learn why this landscape grows the biggest of big trees.

5.00Day was perfect. Great weather, fabulous driver, and wonderful views. Alexia was great to communicate with, answered all my questions in a timely manner. Our tour was on a Saturday and Alexis knows Sequoia so well we were hardly in any traffic or crowds. She also spent time helping us prepare for our trip to King’s Canyon the next day. Lots of great tips and restaurant recommendations.

5.00Alexis is running a fabulous business. The communication was timely every time I had a question or concern. She showed up on time and prepared to head out. Her knowledge of the park made the busy Saturday in the park so enjoyable. Lunch was very nice. She spent time giving us recommendations for our drive to King’s Canyon and other local restaurants in the area. You will get your money’s worth with this day long excursion.
Giant trees, fabulous guide!

5.00Wow! What an amazing day! Alexis was an amazing tour guide. Seeing the sequoias in person has been a dream for me and I finally made it! These giants are unreal and Alexis’ knowledge of the park and its history made the experience all the more memorable. Highly recommend this tour and would love to go on another tour with her and her company.

5.00Alexis is an amazing guide. She picked us up from our Fresno hotel and took us to many scenic locations in Sequoia National Park. She enthusiastically shared her knowledge on the giant Sequoias and answered all of our questions. Each stop in the park was well paced and we had plenty of time to see all of the sights. I recommend anyone wanting to visit Sequoia to take this tour with Alexis!
Wonderful day

5.00Had a wonderful time. Jerry and KayLynn were very informative and helped the day be a success. Jerry even took pictures of me when I wanted since I was by myself along with the group.
Snow day in Sequoia NP

- Review from Viator
4.00It snowed the night before and was cold and foggy which allowed for some beautiful, but limited, views. This was only the second solo tour for our guides, Gerry and Kalen. They were super nice, helpful, and adjusted the trip based on group needs and weather. Constructive input for the new guides: speak loud enough for those in the back to hear you. The van ride was very quiet. That would be a great time to engage your group in some interesting park facts/trivia and help your group get to know each other.
See the great Sequoia...

5.00See the great Sequoia Trees was far above my expectations. Experiencing the hike up Moro Rock was a once in a life time achievement.
Beyond my wildest dreams! Alexis is phenomenal

5.00Alexis was a great guide. She had deep knowledge on sequoia trees and sequoia national park: We really enyoued her stories and hospitability. We were to actually a private tour. Alexis thanks a lot! Br Anna and Seppo
