Fabulous tour in Yosemite to hit the highlights! With just enough hiking as well

5.00Our driver/tour guide’s name was Annette. She was knowledgeable about the park and we could tell she definitely enjoyed her job. She was concerned about our safety and made sure we had plenty of snacks and water. She took us to the main highlights of the Yosemite valley and to a few special spots that weren’t so crowded with people! We especially enjoyed eating our lunches off the beaten path! It felt like we were on private tour as it was just my husband and I and one other adult. She was so good about taking pictures and we never felt rushed. We truly enjoyed our day in Yosemite!
Fantastic!

5.00We spent the day in Yosemite with Ally and were thoroughly impressed with her knowledge of the area and her ease of navigating us throughout Yosemite Valley. We were able to get an early start and perhaps because it’s a weekday we experienced very little traffic. Ally had a few favorite spots that made the day really special. Highly recommend this tour and Ally in particular!
Fabulous Discovery tour - would highly recommend!

5.00Fabulous day in Yosemite, our guide Nate was fantastic, providing lots of information about the park history, geological features, plants & wildlife. The trails he took us on were quiet and there was plenty of time for stops as well as the most beautiful location for lunch. It was our first time visiting the park and we’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
Amazing time

5.00One of the best tours I have ever taken. Our guide Bryant was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and made the entire Yosemite Valley experience even more special. Would absolutely love to try the other tours he offers.
Thank you Echo & especially Annette

5.00We had a glorious day with Annette. We were the only visitors on the tour so had a very personal experience. She tailored the day perfectly. We hiked in snowshoes to the giant sequoias and Toulumne Grove trailhead. It was such fun. In the valley she made sure that we saw the sights that mattered to us. We’ve come away with great memories and some fantastic photographs that she took of us. We had our packed lunch on a log in a snowy meadow admiring El Capitan. We highly recommend Echo and especially Annette. We couldn’t have had a better day.
Had a wonderful time!

5.00We went on a hike the day after Thanksgiving with my two boys (ages 10 and 12), and it was such a memorable experience! Our tour guide, Bryant, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient with my boys. He encouraged them when they started to feel tired and answered the million questions they threw his way with enthusiasm. The trails we explored were awesome, and the lunch provided was both delicious and satisfying. Elizabeth, who checked us in at the shop, was equally wonderful—so friendly and helpful, she made the start of our day feel welcoming and easy. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone, and we can’t wait to come back and visit again!
Awesome trip

5.00No matter the weather, in our case we had drizzle, snow and cold, the Tour operator has enough experience for you to enjoy the tour making adjustments to the original itinerary, super recommended, tips: overnight in Groveland a day early because they are roads that are better to travel in daylight than at dawn to arrive at 8am
Great walk, great guide

5.00We enjoyed this tour very much. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the geology and plant life around us. He kept a comfortable pace for the group, and clearly knew all the paths so he could adjust to our needs and preferences as we went along.
