Pat was amazing. We had not taken a private tour before, but after taking the free crowded shuttle busses around Grand Canyon on our last trip, we were wanting a better, less "dealing with the masses" and more enriching experience at exploring Yosemite. My husband has a huge interest in photography, and he enjoyed Pat's tips and tricks. My husband is not so much a people person, but Pat made him feel so at ease. Usually I get impatient on vacation with my husband with all the pics he wants to take of scenery and sights, but this was perfect. If I wanted to hang back by the car on certain stops, he had Pat to go with him to take some pics. Pat is a wealth of information about Yosemite and the surrounding area and historical sites. He knew how to avoid the crowds as much as possible. Pat is a genuine, good natured person, and a delight to spend the day with. Thank you Pat!
