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.

Alexis is excellent, you feel she cares you really enjoy the experience. You never feel any rush. She takes cares of details you are interested in. Very knowledgeable of park history.

Best way to maximize your time in the park. One of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. The tour guide, Alexis, was the difference between a regular tour and a great tour.

Breakfast stop a must at Clingans! Bring extra clothes, might be cold. Very windy trip there, Dramamine saved the day! Book with Alexis, she is AWESOME! Even stopped at a huge garage sale with us! Excellent photo taker as well! Thank you so much Alexis for making the Giant Sequoias so fun!

What an amazing day! Kristi, our guide and driver, picked us up at our rental house and took us all around King's Canyon & Sequoia National Park. She tweeked the itinerary to accommodate my 84-year old Daddy as we had no intention of hiking Moro Rock (as described in the description) Because we, and my sister, were the only ones in this tour, we were able to skip that but Kristi graciously added the General Grant tree and King's Canyon in its place! Informative, funny and super friendly, Kristi is a gem and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see it all in one day! Luckily, we get to have her again tomorrow for the Yosemite tour!

I did this tour solo from England & my tour guide was Kristy, with a couple from Puerto Rico. I had the best time, everyone was lovely. I was a bit slower with the Moro Rock climb but I did it & wasn't the only one stopping in the way up. Sequoia national park is beautiful & well worth a visit, Kristy was very friendly, knowledgeable & an awesome guide. Would definitely recommend this tour, Thank you.

Kristy was a delight to spend time with. She tailored our trip to accommodate my husband’s back surgery and a knee that I had dislocated. We saw beautiful views and were able to get out and walk some without risking our respective injuries. We had a great day! Would recommend 100%.

We did all three parks with Alexis. I don't have enough words to describe how awesome she is. Alexis' knowledge of Kings Canyon, Sequoia & Yosemite is very impressive. Her passion for these parks is so contagious. She has incredible energy, patience and is accommodating. If you are considering visiting any one or all three of these beautiful parks do yourself a huge favor and book with Alexis.

This tour is absolutely worth doing. First of all, Alexis is a very enthusiastic guide. She knows in details all the information about the parks and the Sequoias. It is amazing how muh knowledge from the region she has. The tour is not rushed and you have more than enough time for pitures, videos, and admire this beauty that Sequoia National Park is. Alexis will take you to the best spots in the park, surely. Another thing, she is a skilled driver. Even tough you prefer to drive your own car all the way to the park, I strongly reccomend take the tour from there as well, because Alexis has all requisites to be considered an excellent tourist guide.
