We were a day late getting to the park and had to drive in the day of our tour. John (owner) was so nice and accommodating, we couldn’t be more grateful. Then, to send us out with the best guide in Yosemite was almost too much. David was phenomenal—informed, kind, and considerate. He made the experience so memorable. Love the team at YExplore!!

We had David for our guide. He is an interesting young guy who was knowledgeable and very pleasant and tailored the hiking that we wanted to the level that we wanted. While we chose not to have significant elevation, changes, and back country experience, we still managed over 12 miles, and really enjoyed the beauty of our surroundings. We highly recommend this to our group as it was individualized, very personal, and very pleasant.

Our guide Josh was excellent! He had great knowledge of the history, geology, flora and fauna of Yosemite. He also offered expert insight into the climbing community. Our hike was well matched to our ability and we learned a lot while observing many amazing landmarks.

Jana_E

Our guide was so patient and knowledgeable. He mapped out the perfect hike based on our goals and expectations. He adjusted the schedule to accommodate my lskill level and made sure we accomplished our highlights. Highly recommend this service to get the most out of your time in Yosemite.

Loretta_D

John was awesome! He truly personalized our hike! His passion for the park, nature, history made it extra special. He was so aware of the weather and made sure we got great views and tune to enjoy the scenery! Thanks John! You're the best!

Our Guide David was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He knew every mountain peak, dome and valley. He shared his knowledge about all vegetation and wildlife along our route. It made our hike so much more enjoyable. The only negative would be I was hoping for a little more off the beaten path of regular tourists

Absolutely fantastic! John is a pro. Knew all the best spots to go to and when to be there for the best photos. We are so glad we booked this. It made our trip infinitely better.

We booked a hike with John DeGrazio who was extremely knowledgeable about Yosemite and guided us along a fantastic 9+ mile journey through the El Capitan Meadow. By the end we felt very comfortable with the area and ready to explore several other hikes. I highly recommend John and would definitely book him again.

David was a great guide on the big Half Dome hike this past weekend. It was great not having to worry about the route (we started at 5am), the permits and also having a guide to help with the cable climb was a big help. Along the way we found streams to cool off in and even saw a Bobcat on the hunt. A memorable day for my family. Thank you!
