We used Lasting Adventures to book the 1 day hike from Glacier Point to Sentinel Dome and Taft point. Our guide 'Critter' was excellent, professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. We stayed at Half Dome village and didn't realise until the day of the hike that it started at Glacier point parking lot which was ~40 miles away so we were 15 mins late in arriving but Critter was waiting for us and there was no issue. He took us to see some of the most amazing views on earth which will stay with us forever, superb and life-affirming experience, great value (especially wit group discount) and opportunity for some of the best photos ever. The hike itself was fairly easy and took about 5 hours going at our own pace and stopping whenever we wanted for as long as we liked. Hot in the sun. Magical

We had 5 people and arranged a private hike down from Glacier Point to the valley floor. The guide, Nick, was informative and helpful and took us on a great walk, pointing out points of interest and filling us in on the history and geology of Yosemite, and the particular trails we were on. If i get a chance, I'll do a longer hike with these guys, I think it would be a wonderful experience based off how good this day hike was.

We took the Panorama Trail from Glacier Point with our guide, Zach on June 14th. From scheduling the hike to meeting Zach that morning, everything was easy. The views on the hike were amazing and the waterfalls were beautiful (even looking straight down them from the top). Not only was Zach knowledgeable about the trail, birds and trees, but he was also equipped to handle medical needs such as blisters, headaches, and sprains which was a comfort to know (thankfully we did not need this!) and was a great photographer so we could have pictures together along the trail. He was encouraging to us and to other hikers that he noticed may be struggling. We traveled at a comfortable pace for someone with a sore knee which I had been concerned about before arriving. The hike was an enjoyable experience and if the other guides are half as good as Zach, you can't go wrong. We would recommend Lasting Adventures to anyone considering taking this hike.
