We were first-time Yosemeti visitors with 3 days to enjoy. This full day immersion was perfect. We saw every major point, and through the eyes and narrative of Chad, who grew up nearby and clearly knows the park's history, geology and just about anything else you want to know. He was terrific. Pick up was specific and ontime. Van comfortable with water and snacks. Thank you for a fabulous experiernce. We went back on our own to the Mariposa Grove for a 7 mile hike.
