A great discovery tour - Bryant is a great guide with a lot of knowledge on the Yosemite Valley! The tour is an ideal first discovery of the valley with some walking. Also, the pc-nick is great at a spot with less tourists.

Let someone else do the planning so you can enjoy! - Amber guided us on what type of tour to take for our group and helped us book with ease. Matt was our knowledgeable and fun tour guide and he was fantastic! It was so nice to do a tour where Matt planned everything and gave us the history and fun facts about Yosemite while we all walked and enjoyed the natural beauty. Yummy hikers lunch too. Will be back for another tour for sure!

Brilliant tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Matt, who was an excellent guide. He is an authority on Yosemite & shared his knowledge as we made our way around the Valley.

Cool small-grouped van tour around Yosemite Valley - We loved seeing Yosemite Falls, dipping our feet in the cool river below, and stopping at many beautiful picture spots! It was also fun chatting with our guide, who was a very flexible and kind person. Overall very impressed with the company.

Best for first time visitors - I’m glad we booked this tour. This is our first time visiting Yosemite and we didn’t know where to go or how to get to places. Our tour guide, Matt was very knowledgeable and knew where to go for great photos.

Not Flexible - Matt the guide gave so much knowledge of what we were seeing from the van ride to each spot we stopped. Only disappointment was they didn’t pick up or drop off at my RV campground. They were not very helpful about getting a ride, funny enough we drove right past the campground going up and back to Yosemite. Even offered to pay for the ride. So it affected the Gratuity I left the driver.

Very upset - I made the payment for the Yosemite national park with US$180 on July 18th for the trip on July 19th , the confirmation No is 1544703061. However, I haven’t receive the email until now, which should be received within one hour after I made the payment on July 18th. I went to the designed address (i.e. Bridalveil Falls Trailhead) at 8 am on July 19th and wait for long time, but no one pick me up for the tour. I feel very upset and try to call tripadvisor many times yesterday, but the call is always busy without anyone responding to me, I request to get the refund. Please help to proceed for my request.
