What are people saying about Yosemite National Park

Yosemite Nights: 90-Minute Stargazing and Stories Tour

Victoria_B, Oct 2026

Excellent night sky experience!

This was a fantastic way to see (and learn!) about the stars at Yosemite. Zeke, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about the stars and constellations and had a high powered digital telescope plus binoculars to help see them better. We saw the Milky Way, Vega, Polaris, Hercules, Pegasus, and many more. The evening ended with a view of Saturn. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys stargazing - it was one of our top experiences in Yosemite!

Yosemite Highlights Small Group Tour

RickandDianne_H, Sept 2026

Best day of our West Coast visit.

This is a fantastic tour and experience. The bus was very clean, comfortable and easy to enter/exit. Our guide, Jarrett, was extremely knowledgeable about Yosemite, the local area and any other questions we had for him. He made the tour fun, exciting, and extremely interesting. We never would have seen and learned as much as we did if we tried to do it ourselves. I highly recommend this tour.

Semi Private Yosemite Tour with Ahwahnee Lunch and Hotel Pickup

Carole_K, Sept 2026

September in Yosemite

I was picked up in Fresno for this tour. Our guide Daniel is a national treasure. He grew up in the area and offered very interesting tidbits about the land and the history that most people don't know. Our tour covered the southern part of Yosemite including Half Dome, Glacier Point (with a picnic at 7000 feet), El Capitan and Ahwahnee Hotel to name a few. A very inclusive day and I would highly recommend.

Private Guided Hiking Tour in Yosemite

Michael_W, Sept 2026

Happy Hikers!

My wife and I are so happy we chose this tour. John is an expert guide who quickly assessed our physical capabilities and adjusted our pace accordingly, sprinkling in just enough challenges in our two great hikes with him - one day in the lower Yosemite and the next day in the upper. John has a rich knowledge of the Valley’s plant and animal life and human history that he shared with us as we hiked along admiring the awesome views at each turn. We were even fortunate enough to see a mamma bear and her cubbies! We can truly say John became a friend by the end of our second day on the trails with him!

Yosemite National Park & Sequoias Private Tour from San Francisco

Karen_S, Sept 2026

Tour experience with Pablo

Pablo was our tour guide and did an excellent job. He picked us up from where we were staying and arrived on time. We visited Tuolumne Grove of Sequoias, Tunnel View, Bridaveil Falls, Swinging Bridge, Half Dome, Lower Yosemite Fall Trail, El Capitan, and Valley View. We had an excellent meal at the Ahwahnee Historic hotel and visited the Yosemite Village store for souvenirs. Pablo did a great job of explaining everything that we visited and details of what we were looking at. We would definitely recommend Pablo if you are looking for a comprehensive tour of Yosemite National Park.

We absolutely loved this...

We absolutely loved this digital tour of Yosemite National Park! The app was incredibly easy to use, and the interactive map made exploring the park simple and stress-free.

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.
