My Husband Mark an I went on your tour Oct.19,2023. We were so impressed with our tour guide John. He was very informative on the trip. He set up a nice Breakfast, also Lunch. Very Happy with the tour. Mark and Sheila McIntyre

The beauty and grandeur of Yosemite speaks for itself. What really made for an unforgettable experience was the extreme dedication and deep knowledge of all things Yosemite and Sierra Nevada of our guide Snowshoe John. He is a true Renaissance Man. At the same time he is an historian, a geologist, an arborist, a meteorologist, a humorist, an outdoorsman, a watershed authority, and an expert driver who also sets a lovely luncheon table. The price of admission is well worth it and while the trip makes for somewhat of a long day, It is worth every minute. Brian and Judy Smith Ormond Beach FL

The amount of breathtaking views was enormous!! John was so generous in his stops for picture opportunities. He was a font of knowledge and given his experience as an outdoorsman he could add personal antidotes.

Second time doing this tour with Snow shoe John! Plethora of knowledge and takes you to the best spots! Awesome lunch, always fresh and delicious! Thanks again and we will see you again!

Kelly_R

This was a great scenic experience. We were very disappointed, though, that we did not stop at the Visitor Center in the park. We were all expecting that we would be able to do that. The driver was very knowledgeable but there were times that he talked too much.

Snowshoe John provides a professional and thorough experience through Yosemite. His wonderful charisma and true care for the park and left us with an unforgettable day in the park. This is the best way to see Yosemite if visiting Tahoe. You won’t be disappointed. I would rate higher if possible.

Noyonika_R

The guide makes this trip worthwhile ! A once in a lifetime experience for sure…….. Would love to do this again in the summer

Ellen_D

Snow shoe John knew every inch of the park. Saw more and did more than going for a day then traveling by car. Lunch and breakfast were homemade healthy and great. We highly recommend this trip. This was our second time and saw many new sights

Betty_M

The guide was extremely knowledagle, engaged and wanted to ensure we got every experience to have in the day. It was a long day, but so worth the time, money, and entire trip. If you only have one day to experience the park, this is the utimate way to do it! Great experiece!

Maria_S
