Yosemite was one park I kept putting off and when I finally decided and booked, I didn’t even know I was going during waterfall season! What a treat. Alexis was a joy as a guide. She was organized and fully knowledgeable about the park and the surrounding areas. She was also a wealth of information about some other parks in the wider PNW that are now on my bucket list. Will definitely be favoring “Authentic Adventures” for my next park tour.

Another great day spent with Kristi showing us her old stomping grounds! She grew up nearby so knew all the roads like the back of her hand! Friendly and informative and got us the best photograph stops! Even when we thought the fog would deter our plans, she worked around it and got us the views we wanted! Highly recommend these girls and their tours!! They're adaptable to your needs/wants when it was just us. And thankful for that as we had my 84-yr-old Daddy with us. We skipped the hike and saw all the sights instead! Book it...you won't be sorry!!

Kristy took us on a 9 hour tour of Yosemite. Magnificent views of mountains, valleys and tours with the Sequoia trees being the highlight. She was an engaging and friendly guide with lots of information about the area in general. My advice is to choose your overnight location in Fresno carefully.

Alexis Newlin is our Tour Guide. She is friendly, polite, and happy. She took us to see El Capital, Half Dome, Bridalveil falls, and all other attraction places in Yosemite . She offered informative and engaged commentary about the destinations was visited. Alexis took us to restaurant in the park to have lunch. She provided water as much as we need. She took pictures and made some clips for us. We really enjoyed our Yosemite trip with Alexis. Thanks Alexis for a memorable trip.

Loved there was an option for hotel pickup. Alexis is a great tour guide friendly and happy to answer questions about not only Yosetime but the surrounding areas. If youre a solo traveler like me shes happy to take pics. But found out I could save 100.00 by booking through the website. Also, with being picked up at 7:00 would be nice if we had the option to go to chik fa la so pack snacks or eat breakfast. We didnt eat lunch til after 1pm, and if you dont want a deli, grocery store bought sandwich ask to eat at the Park. There is a grill and a bakery that serves fresh food and there is a grocery store attached to the gift shop.Yes! lunch was (only) a sandwich no sides no drinks for 350.00!?!!?! Napkins were not even given just a sandwich so eat at the deli or grill theres fresh food, drinks, and yes, napkins.

Thank you, Alexis, for navigating the crowds at Yosemite for us! And for making sure we got our desired hikes and scenic views checked off! I am not sure we would have continued on into the park without your guidance! We ended up having a great day (including a stop for ice cream : ) without the stress of having to deal with driving and parking during the busy season ~ a great day, with the waterfalls putting on a spectacular show for us!
