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.

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!!

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

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.
GREAT YOSEMITE WITH ALEXIS

5.00Alexis Newlin is our Tour Guide. She is friendly, polite, and happy. She took us to see El Capital, Half Dome, Bridalveil falls, and all other attraction places in Yosemite . She offered informative and engaged commentary about the destinations was visited. Alexis took us to restaurant in the park to have lunch. She provided water as much as we need. She took pictures and made some clips for us. We really enjoyed our Yosemite trip with Alexis. Thanks Alexis for a memorable trip.

3.00Loved there was an option for hotel pickup. Alexis is a great tour guide friendly and happy to answer questions about not only Yosetime but the surrounding areas. If youre a solo traveler like me shes happy to take pics. But found out I could save 100.00 by booking through the website. Also, with being picked up at 7:00 would be nice if we had the option to go to chik fa la so pack snacks or eat breakfast. We didnt eat lunch til after 1pm, and if you dont want a deli, grocery store bought sandwich ask to eat at the Park. There is a grill and a bakery that serves fresh food and there is a grocery store attached to the gift shop.Yes! lunch was (only) a sandwich no sides no drinks for 350.00!?!!?! Napkins were not even given just a sandwich so eat at the deli or grill theres fresh food, drinks, and yes, napkins.
From US$300.00
