We are a group of 10 and John guided us on a team a tour to Sentinel Dome and Taft Point. The sights were incredible and John was a fantastic guide, full of information and passion for Yosemite and the natural environment. Great guidance and when and where to go to beat the crowds too.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Our guide, Alex, was absolutely amazing. He was full of energy and enthusiasm and made the trip great fun and truly memorable. The equipment provided by YExplore was excellent and the food amazing - there was no chance of going hungry. Communication (both email and text) on what to bring, food options and meeting location once we had booked was great, although if there is one small negative I would say the website is not clear enough for people who have never been to Yosemite and are not sure what option to go for. However, If you are loooking for a great experience and a fantastic adventure, this is the place and company to go to.
