My daughter and I had an amazing time. It was a day full of adventure, history, and breathtaking views. We were able to capture some really amazing pictures. We had an awesome time! Our tour guide, Brian, was great! He made us feel comfortable and made our day extra special. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with a wealth of information. His energy and enthusiasm were the same throughout the day. Thank you to Brian for reaching out with information about the meeting time and place before the tour. I highly recommend this tour and Brian as your tour guide.

We are so happy that we booked this tour. It saved us a lot of time in terms of planning. Our guide, Brian, shared a lot of insider info and options that would suit personal preferences. Highly recommended!!

We did the Yosemite tour and I can't say enough good things about our experience. First, we originally booked for a Saturday and a few days before ran into some scheduling issues and I thought we were going to have to cancel. I spoke by phone with Phil who went above and beyond to work things out for us and shifted some things around so we could still go. So already I'm amazed by this company. Then on the day of the tour, our tour guide was Brian. He was a phenomenal tour guide. Not only is he knowledgeable and excited about Yosemite, he has excellent people skills and is great in front of groups. The day started just before 5am when we departed an hour earlier to avoid lines at the park and were picked up by Brian at our hotel. Midway through the drive up, Brian stopped at a grocery store so we could pick up breakfast/coffee/lunch for later in the day. The whole drive up Brian showed various Yosemite videos as well as sharing photos to prepare us for what we would see. When we got to the park, Brian stopped at key points and assisted with photos. Midway through the day he stopped in an area where we had free time for lunch and to explore things on our own. Later in the day we stopped by El Capitan where he had binoculars and a telescope so we could try to find people climbing on it (we learned a ton about rock climbing today too). Towards the end of our Yosemite visit we stopped by the Tuolumne sequoias. We went on a hot day, and Brian had plenty of cold water available in his cooler and offered it to us regularly throughout the day. On the drive back, Brian stopped at a farm stand as well as a grocery store. We would definitely book a tour with this company again - thank you Brian and Phil for a fantastic experience!
