Super great during Thanksgiving Day with family

Published on Nov, 2024

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Thanksgiving Tour with Matt - Hidden Gems & Personal Touch We had an outstanding private Thanksgiving tour of Yosemite with Matt, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. As a guide with a double major in history and sustainability, Matt's knowledge added incredible depth to every location we visited. Despite it being a busy Thanksgiving day, Matt expertly navigated us away from the crowds while still hitting all the highlights. Some standout moments included: - A peaceful visit to Merced Grove - A special viewpoint for Tunnel View away from the usual spots - Perfect positioning for El Capitan views - Fascinating insights into Native American cooking and culture What made the tour special was Matt's ability to connect with everyone in our family, including our teenagers. His engaging conversation style and vast knowledge kept everyone interested throughout the day. The practical aspects were also well-handled - the included lunch was excellent, and we appreciated the thoughtful touch of receiving reusable water bottles. Staying at Yosemite Basecamp made the tour logistics super convenient. If you're looking for a tour that combines crowd avoidance strategies, expert knowledge, and personal attention, I highly recommend booking with Matt. It's particularly perfect if you're traveling with teens or want a more intimate Yosemite experience.

Great day in the valley

Published on Oct, 2024

Great day with a small group. The guide was experienced and knowledgeable. Several stops at the most iconic sights. Leisurely stroll around the valley. Would highly recommend this tour.

Yosemite is brilliant and so is Nate and this tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an amazing day in Yosemite with Nate. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative, friendly, the food was great and of course Yosemite itself is magical.

Really great tour - proper value

Published on Sep, 2024

Really great tour. It’s a slow burn. At first you think you’ve made a mistake, but bear with it, the whole experience is fantastic! The only suggestion to improve is to just spend five minutes outlining the agenda and then you know exactly what to expect! Tour guide was Matt and he was ace. Echo (via Viator) we’re super responsive and really easy to deal with. We had a great time and would totally recommend this supplier and this tour as a gentle but full intro to Yosemite.

Awesome day trip to really experience Yosemite!

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guide kept the pace appropriate for slightly senior couples, but gently encouraged exploration. He found shady trails and would stop - in the shade- to explain and teach about the park and what we were experiencing. He was very respectful of park rules and respecting all wildlife, and led us farther away from a grazing doe who was not intimidated at all by us. The deer wouldn’t move so we did!
