I recently explored Yosemite National Park with an amazing guide, and I can't recommend him enough.
Here's why:
- Expert Know-How: Our guide knew Yosemite inside out, making every moment informative and fun.
- Passion and Energy: He brought the park to life with his infectious enthusiasm.
- Safe and Smart: Our guide started early to avoid traffic and the scorching heat, keeping us comfortable.
- Friendly and Relaxed: He was not just knowledgeable but also super-friendly, answering our questions with a smile.
- Tailored Fun: The adventure was personalized with our preferred vista points.

An unforgettable Yosemite experience.

This company and the guides know what they are going and have been running this company for around 20 years. John is excellent and informs you about everything that is involved, if you’re uncertain, he will encourage you and put you at ease. I learned a lot from hiking with him. I can’t wait to return and book another trip with these guys

We were given a tour of the Yosemite Valley Loop by Dan, who was absolutely fantastic. He took us on a route that was a little off the beaten track and showed us parts of the valley that we just wouldn’t have seen had we gone on our own. Plus of course he told us plenty about the history and ecology of Yosemite that we wouldn’t have otherwise known. We took the ‘moderate’ tour which involved some uphill hiking and around five hours of walking (with breaks), but I’m pretty unfit and I coped with it fine. Thoroughly recommend YExplore - ask for Dan!

Gus was a great guide with a lot of knowlegde - but paying 500$ for a 3h hike on a path which is laid out is not appropriate

John was a great guide. He took us for a 6 miles walking tour at a comfortable pace, telling us about the area as we went and allowing time to rest and take pictures. We wanted to see giant sequoias but the Mariposa grove was closed so John directed us to a different sequoia grove. Overall very good experience, would recommend.

I have been on several hikes throughout the years with yexplore, most recently an international trip to Nepal to hike Everest base camp. I cannot recommend this company enough, the guides are so knowledgeable and every experience has been so fun and memorable! My favorite Yosemite hike with them was half dome, the Mist Trail is incredible!

My husband and I did this hike with our 21 year old daughter and her boyfriend. David was so knowledgeable and pleasant and turned the hike into a memorable experience for each of us. He had a wonderful way of relating to each of us. I was by far the most novice hiker with a fear of heights, and David was very encouraging and took time to teach me a lot of basics about hiking.

The actual hike provided many scenic moments that were stunning. We had multiple views of the Vernal Falls at different heights including up to Clark’s Point as well as other waterfalls. We saw numerous climbers on Half Dome, and David passed around his binoculars for us to observe them. We had expected to feel exhausted at the end of the 6-7 miles, but we were exhilarated instead. Ask for David when booking this tour…you will not be disappointed!

David was a great guide. Nice breaks and well paced. I'd do it again, different trail. Def do the trails early as possible to avoid the heat and any crowds

Thank you YExplore! Our hike to Vernal Fall was stunning. It was just the right amount of challenge! And something we would not have done without your guide John! He gave us the confidence to know we could accomplish the trail! John was very knowledgeable, professional and fun! I highly recommend using YExplore and a guide! You will experience Yosemite in a way you couldn't imagine!

Had a wonderful experience with John our guide. He was patient & kind. We would have absolutely gotten lost had we tried this hike alone. He gave me some great tips on hiking techniques & safety. He also taught me a few things about taking better pictures. It was worth every penny (and more) . The views from Vernal & Nevada Fall were amazing. Again, we could not have done it without their guidance. We highly recommend this tour company.
