We enjoyed the tour and company of our guide. - Our tour guide was very accommodating . He attended to our needs. We love that we were able to go near to some waterfalls with Gabe guiding us. He made us comfortable as if we were family on a tour. Thank you we enjoyed our tour.

Best Yosemite tour! - Gabriel was amazing! He knew all the secret spots to get the most breathtaking views of the waterfalls. My mother had always dreamed of seeing the waterfalls of Yosemite, but she had a stroke which left her unable to walk very far without assistance. Gabriel brought us to so many incredible spots that allowed my mother to take in the stunning beauty of Yosemite.
I greatly appreciated his flexibility in adjusting our tour to accommodate the many changing requests of the group. He was also very sweet and patient with my kids, who took some time to warm up. And to top things off, he is a phenomenal photographer. He captured so many picture-perfect moments of our family that I definitely plan to print and hang on our walls. The highlight of our trip was having a sunset dinner and s'mores at Glacier Point; the view was breathtaking.
Thank you, Gabriel, for the unforgettable and magical tour. We had so much fun, and the hikes were unforgettable. We will definitely be back for more adventures and hidden gems with you!

Amazing waterfalls and guide! - Super inspiring day out with a wonderful guide. We made it to seven of the ten waterfalls. The other three would have been too much for my four and eight year olds. Seems like the timing was perfect for the full flow experience. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

Awesome customized private tour of Yosemite waterfalls! Gabe is the best! You won't be disappointed. - Gabe was responsive from the moment we booked the private tour. We had never been to Yosemite and we knew we were staying over an hour away from the meeting spot. I asked if we could start at 10 instead of 9? And could he customize the tour as we were not big hikers? Gabe immediately got back to me and said 10 would be perfect and we could take shuttles or drive to minimize the extra walking. He just wanted us to have the best experience.
Once we met him the day of the hike he was personable, knowledgeable and he got along with the entire family. He showed us up close all the most amazing waterfalls and took us on back trails that were not marked and open to the average hiker.
The bonus is Gabe is an amazing landscape photographer so he kept stopping us and taking these great family photos! He air dropped them to my phone at the end of the day so not only did our family see amazing sights we have photos of the family to remember our day at Yosemite.
I would highly recommend Gabe. Tell him what you want to see and your level of fitness I am confident he can create a schedule that will work for you and your group.

Amazing guide with extensive knowledge of Yosemite. - I've hiked Yosemite my whole life, but the one thing I hadn't experienced was the Yosemite Valley fire falls which occurs every year, if the conditions are just right. I never knew the best place to view them from so didn't try in previous years.
We scheduled time with Gabe from Wild Yosemite and he took us to a spot to view the falls from that is kind of a secret spot where only a few serious photographers were located. My wife and I watched the fire falls and sipped wine from about 700 feet above the valley floor. It was amazing.
Gabe at Wild Yosemite scouts out the best hikes, best viewing locations that only come with constant exploring of Yosemite. Gabe's knowledge of Yosemite, and his warm and caring personality make him stand out among guides.

Fabulous Firefalls! - Seeing the Yosemite Firefalls has been on my bucket list for years and Wild Yosemite made it happen! Gabe scouted out the perfect uncrowded spot with a perfect view of the firefalls and timed the trip so we got there with time to spare for the show. He is super easy to talk to and made everyone in our group comfortable and he even offered to carry my bag to make the hike to the viewing area easier. Gabe got information before the trip on our fitness levels and interests to customize it just for us. I would definitly do a trip with Wild Yosimite and Gabe again. Fabulous trip!!

AMAZING & Professional! - Our trip to Yosemite with our family was spectacular! Gabriel, from Wild Yosemite, was very knowledgeable about the history of the park and where to go (and where NOT to go). My favorite hike was the Mist Trail. Gabriel was great with our kids, showed a lot of patience with them and helped them to get a better perspective on the outdoors and the beauty of Yosemite. Gabriel really listened to us and crafted a trip that EXCEEDED our expectations! It was wonderful!
If you are looking for a fun, informative and transformational experience: call Gabriel!
