We found Pat serendipitously when there was a error in our Yosemite day pass. As I write this review, it is August 2020 and Covid is rampant in the United States, so access to Yosemite park was limited. We found Pat and his services and he saved our trip! The experience was great. Pat is knowledgeable about the park and an expert with Photography. He knows exactly the route to take his guests to maximize our time in the park and capture them with ours or his camera. The day we were scheduled with Pat, he had a guide that he was training. They were both very receptive about the feedback about photo composition, lighting etc. At first there was a little sticker shock of $850/day for a family of four. however, if you compare this rate with other companies operating semi private tours, Pat’s rate is a bargain! A half a day in a semi private tour will cost you about $700. Pat met us in Oakhurst at 8 AM and our tour ended at 3 PM. It was the highlight of our week. Thank you.

I bought a Yosemite photo safari with Pat Althizer as a birthday gift for my husband, who is getting more and more into photography since retirement. It turned out to be the best present ever for both of us! We met Pat in the park at 11AM and he took us to all the right places at the right times of day for the best photo opportunities. And in addition to our picture taking, Pat took quite a few of his own, which he will send us to help us document our day. We drove, we hiked, we picnic'ed, we got an up close (as close as possible) view of the major rock slide that occurred the day before we were there, we learned a lot about the history of the park, and we had a few laughs. My husband also got a lot of photography tips that he found very helpful. Since Pat is a park guide, as well as a very experienced photographer, we had the best of both worlds. We believe we saw more and learned more about Yosemite with Pat in one day than we ever could have on our own in several days. Our day spent with Pat was perfect. It couldn't have been better! We highly recommend this photo safari!!!!

"At the right place at the right time in Yosemite" and in this case with the right people made for the perfect day. With the hint of early autumn color and just the right left over day temperatures from summer, the conditions could not have been better. Thank you for another great day in the park.

This was our first visit to Yosemite and we have 4 children ranging in age from 11-20 and Pat was able to make the day one we will always remember. His warm and funny demeanor combined with his true insider knowledge of the park made the day relaxed even though we covered a tremendous amount of the park and the pictures he took (while also assisting me in my shots) were amazing. He is a treasure!!
