This tour was amazing. It was a great educational experience with a lot of historical background and fun stories associated with Yosemite. Brian did an excellent job from beginning to the end of the trip. His knowledge of the park was excellent. He effectively took us to all key features of the park. He also pointed out some of the features that typical visitors usually miss. Brian was very accommodating. He spent time setting up the scopes for everyone to look at the climbers and base camps up high on the “Dawn Wall”. Brian always asked if we needed help with picture taking at everyone stop. He also followed up with texts and pictures of the trip for everyone. I also enjoyed the stories that he told and documentaries that he played for us during the rides to and from Yosemite. It was an excellent tour and we enjoyed it a lot.

We were a group of 3, including my senior mother and 11 year old son. Brian, our tour guide, was fabulous! Knowledgeable, friendly and prepared. He prepped what we saw with videos and historical information. Even had telescopes and binoculars to view the rock climbers that would have been completely missed with the naked eye. Just a heads up that the hike back from viewing the giant sequoias is 1 mile up a steep incline. I highly recommend this tour and make sure to ask for Brian.
