Yosemite National Park & Sequoias Private Tour from San Francisco

Madeline_K, Oct 2026

A great day trip to Yosemite - well worth it!

We had a great day trip with Pablo. He knows Yosemite very well and made sure we saw all the highlights in one day. The tour was well organised - he stopped in at the grocery store on the way into Yosemite to ensure we could get supplies first, could get coffee and go to the bathroom (as well as on the way back to San Francisco); gave us ample time for lunch and made sure there were regular bathroom break opportunities so we never had issues and avoided the portaloos! He showed us all of the great photo spots and took plenty of pictures of us too which was appreciated. Highly recommend spending the money - it’s a great day out! :)

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!

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!

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. It provided fascinating history about Yosemite while guiding us to some of the park's most beautiful sights. One of our favorite features was the flexibility. We could either follow the recommended driving route or choose to explore hiking trails at our own pace. It truly felt like having a knowledgeable tour guide with us the entire time, but with the freedom to customize our adventure. This tour added so much to our visit and helped us appreciate the park on a deeper level. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Yosemite. 10 out of 10!

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.
