I booked this trip to allow a friend from Texas who had never been to Yosemite the benefit of seeing all of the beauty this park contains in the most efficient way. I didn't want her to miss anything! Our guide was Mike with Lasting Adventures. He made a couple of 60 year old ladies feel special. So, if you're planning a trip, ask for Mike - He puts a ton of research into every area he guides so he can provide people with the best experience possible. He's very knowledgeable, and a great person! His passion for nature is contagious! I'm so happy I booked this tour!
