We had a great time on this tour, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and he gave us useful advice for the following days. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for people who are new to Yosemite, like ourselves. We were the only ones on this particular tour so the experience was really tailored for us, which was fantastic.

Nate is a great guide, informative and accommodating. If you're like us clueless on hikes this is a great way to start until you're good on your own. Plus he gives you tips on the next hikes to take on your own too.
