I was debating taking my family on a guided hike and I’m so glad I did. Our guide had so many interesting facts and stories to share that we never would have heard otherwise. He had fun activities for the kids which I was very grateful for. We hiked to some incredible views of the park and it made our experience so much better than if we had done it alone.

Experiencing the spectacular views of Yosemite with a guide was such a treat! Zeke was amazing and full of interesting facts about the area. We kept a leisurely pace and had plenty of time to take pictures, ask questions, and enjoy the scenery.

This was my first time to Yosemite, so selecting to join a tour with other family members, was the most logical way to go. Our guide, Zeke, was very entertaining with a quick wit and great sense of humor. He is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning new things and interacting with him. He also enjoyed it when we shared an additional tip. We're very interested in going back in the spring. We will definitely request Zeke as our guide. I highly recommend you spend some time with him.
