Yosemite Discovery Walk

Allie was our tour guide, and although she was new, she was fantastic! She provided a lot of history, gave us plenty of time to take pictures, and took us to some off the beaten path spots. We traveled with our kids, and although they were tired by the end of the day, they really enjoyed the tour as well.

Yosemite National Park & Sequoias Private Tour from San Francisco

jerry_m, Jun 2026

Such an amazing, valuable experience!

We can't praise our guide Pablo enough. The private tour was SO worth it. First, we were picked up & dropped off at our hotel. Once there, we had no worries about parking as we were picked up & dropped off at each site. Pablo knew all the best vista spots and took amazing group photos to capture the incredible scenery and our wonderful day together. We were a family of 6 adults and we all agreed that the trip was so valuable--an experience of a lifetime. Pablo also arranged stops on the way there and back so we had plenty of food & drinks for the trip and gave us time for shopping at the visitor center. He had the logistics down and knew the most efficient routes to get everywhere, which gave us more time at the sites. If you are trying to work Yosemite into your trip, DO this tour!

We had an amazing tour to Yosemite with our tour guide Daniel from Crossroad Tours.

Private Family Hike in Yosemite

penny_e, Jun 2026

Phenomenal Excursion!

We (family of 5) were interested in not only hiking to see the notable sights in the Yosemite Valley but also learning about the history of Yosemite. We were also interested in getting recommendations on areas to go and places to eat after the private hike. Josh, was an amazing guide; so knowledgeable and full of smiles! We also loved how he asked for our input during the hike so we truly got a personalized hike. I’d highly recommend this excursion; and i’d recommend that you take this the first or second day of your vaca so that you can get the “lay of the land” and really get the most out of your stay in Yosemite!

Seeing Yosemite was on...

Seeing Yosemite was on our bucket list. I have some balance issues and we needed someone knowledgeable about the park to take us to see the highlights and give us a chance to walk on even ground when there was an opportunity. Our guide was great about finding those opportunities and describing our choices for each path, allowing us to have the most involved Yosemite experience we could. In addition our guide Mike was able to tell us all about the history of Yosemite - how it was formed, who lived there when, etc. He took excellent care of us. We would definitely recommend our experience to any group with mixed physical levels that wants everyone to have a great time.
