Fantastic tour of the valley

Marjorie_W, Apr 2019

We had a great time on this tour, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and he gave us useful advice for the following days. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for people who are new to Yosemite, like ourselves. We were the only ones on this particular tour so the experience was really tailored for us, which was fantastic.

Valley walk.

Scott_D, Mar 2019

I had a great time on the valley walk. Tha guide did agreat job even with some of the trails closed. He kept up an informative and entertaining narrative the whole 6 hours of the hike.

Our tour guide was very informational...

e_hammontree, Dec 2017

Our tour guide was very informational with the history of the park. We toured Yosemite Falls, the valley as well as Mirror Lake. She also gave us a map of other tours/hikes for the other days we were in the park. Great Experience!
