Great day in the valley - 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.

Great day with lots of interesting info! Great guide, great service, cool give away as a reminder! - We were traveling by car and on foot in the Yosemite Valley and were able to reach almost all important points. Our guide was there with a lot of expertise about geology, fauna and flora and was happy to answer any questions. Fantastic viewpoints, lots of peace and quiet - should have been a little sportier for us, but ideal for families even with younger children!

Really great tour - proper value - 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! - 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!

What more could I ask of a tour? - I had an absolutely marvellous time with the tour. My guide, Nate, was had an excellent gamut of knowledge regarding not just the geographical layout of the park, but also it's history. The route was carefully planned out to give a good balance of time spent in both sunlight and shade with stops at bathrooms. Nate was even kind enough to suggest a hiking route for me to take after the tour and pointed it out on my map. Truly exemplary service.

A great discovery tour - Bryant is a great guide with a lot of knowledge on the Yosemite Valley! The tour is an ideal first discovery of the valley with some walking. Also, the pc-nick is great at a spot with less tourists.

Informative tour duration didn’t equal to advertised 7 hrs - Our tour guide was exceptional, provided interesting foliage and historical information. However, we booked & paid for a 7 hour tour which we started at 9am, took an hour for lunch and were brought back to our car at 2pm. I’m not great at math, and I’m confident that doesn’t total 7 hours.
