Brian was an amazing host and guide. Such beautiful scenery and the perfect sized tour. Felt COVID safe.

I live in san Francisco but I still decided to book a tour with Brian. Brian was very attentive to our needs and he tried his best to make the pick up location convenient for us. I cared less than he did. The movies on the way to Yosemite were amusing and entertaining, the tour itself was awesome however I don't think you can mess it up because the nature is stunning by itself , but I rate the organization as excellent. when my mom will come over to America, I'll send her with Brian to Yosemite for sure.

Fantastic 1-day excursion! Super-convenient pick up and drop off with short stops for restroom & food (both ways). Food court at Yosemite had nice options and boxed the takeout (we picnicked near the swinging bridge - best al fresco dining spot during COVID-19, and beyond!). Informative and interesting videos played on the way to the park, and appreciated the knowledge of our guide, Brian, who knew the best photo op spots — and even set up multiple tripods with telescopes so we could view the climbers scaling El Cap (which you really cannot see with the naked eye)! Weather was perfect - sunny and depending on where in the park, ranged from 65 to 75. Happy that we saw the Giant Sequoias - the path was wide and well groomed - but the incline when returning required some brief stops to catch our breath (not treacherous). We had the opportunity for time alone to spend wandering, hiking, etc. Amazing day! The van for our group (3 pairs and 2 singles) was a 9 or 10 passenger size so we had no social distance with members of the group. Everyone had a mask but, like myself when snacking or drinking, had it off for a while.
