Saw this as an option to come and take a look around Yosemite and thought my family would enjoy it. We had the pleasure of Ron giving us our tour. He was very friendly and met our accommodations. He took us around to the spots that were open and gave us a lot of knowledge of the area. He even offered to take some pictures. It was honestly breathtaking. It was nice because it was a small group my family with 5 and another family of 4. Lunch was good and it is provided with your tour. A sandwich, water, chips, banana, and a cookie. Overall great experience and we are so glad we booked this tour. Ron is really the best!! Also, I would book this if you are unsure about driving yourself through the mountains. I get a big nervous and Ron followed the speed limits which made me feel safe. The roads up there might get you car sick so make sure to bring gum and a bag just in case!

Daniel Gonzalez is THE BEST tour guide! He is so knowledgeable about all of Yosemite, and his added personal history & stories just added to that. We were promptly picked up at our hotel, had a fabulous full day (with tasty picnic lunch), and were really sorry to see it end. If you can actually “request” a guide, do yourself a favor and ask for Daniel. You won’t regret it.
