  • 5Yosemite Discovery Walk

    Allie was our tour guide, and although she was new, she was fantastic! She provided a lot of history, gave us plenty of time to take pictures, and took us to some off the beaten path spots. We traveled with our kids, and although they were tired by the end of the day, they really enjoyed the tour as well.

  • 5Fabulous tour in Yosemite to hit the highlights! With just enough hiking as well

    Our 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!

  • 5Fantastic!

    We 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!

  • 5Fabulous Discovery tour - would highly recommend!

    Fabulous 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!

  • 5One of the best tours I...

    One 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.

About Yosemite National Park

Yosemite is a national park in California's Sierra Nevada, famous for granite cliffs, giant sequoias, high waterfalls and meadows below the peaks.

Yosemite National Park covers a wide stretch of the Sierra Nevada in California, with Yosemite Valley, carved by glaciers, at its heart. Sheer granite walls rise on either side of the Merced River: El Capitan, a favourite of rock climbers, and Half Dome, a rounded summit, tower above the valley floor. Yosemite Falls drops in several stages for a total of about 740 metres, among the tallest waterfalls in North America.
