Very good experience for a first time hiker in Yosemite. The guide reached on time and showed us around. Since I could not climb steep elevation, he kept it easy as possible for me. We walked around the valley and he kept explaining about all the vantage points. It was a good experience overall.

I had such a phenomenal time at Yosemite National Park. The views were absolutely incredible and John was an excellent, personable host who is very familiar with the park, it's rich history, and spot on recommendations of hiking ventures to explore. The locations we were able to visit through Yosemite Valley had the most beautiful backdrops to take pictures and create worthwhile memories. I wasn't sure I was going to see everything I wanted to see on this trip because of COVID and the potential limitations, but we were able to safely explore the park by wearing our masks and social distancing. Catherine was also very helpful in providing background information of the tour such as specific route recommendations, expected miles to hike roundtrip, items to bring, etc. You will not regret purchasing this tour -- it was well worth it!

I had originally booked a snowshoe tour but there wasn't enough snow for that so we hiked. Luckily John had trekking poles because it ended up snowing the last couple hours of the hike and they were helpful in icy/snowy spots. I learned a lot about the history and ecology of the park and really enjoyed the customized hike in Tuolumne Grove admiring the giant sequoias and so much more. Another thing I'd like to add is the customer service from both John and Catherine were top notch. They answered all my questions before booking, after booking, and checked in how things were after the trip. I'll be singing the praises of this small/unique business to anyone I know heading out to Yosemite. I had an amazing time!
