Great Yosemite tour experience! - John was the best tour guide! Showed us so many things in the Yosemite Valley that we would not have found on our own. Wonderful experience! 10 out of 10! Highly recommend.

Lovely guide, beautiful day, memorable experience - Emily was exceptionally nice, very thoughtful, asked up front what would be important to us and it worked great. She did a great job to make it a super memorable event. Has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth

Great Experience with YExplore - We had a fantastic experience with YExplore. Our original hike location had to change due to snow and road closures, but the team at YExplore was proactive with their communication. They helped us switch to the Mirror Lake/Eastern Yosemite hike. Despite the rainy conditions, we thoroughly enjoyed our five-hour hike with Emily. She was very knowledgeable, making our time together enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend YExplore for hiking in Yosemite National Park.

Great hiking experience - It was a great hike! I booked it for my brother and myself; but a couple had a cancellation on their tour, so we ended up having them in our group. But it was great - they were a nice couple and very friendly. The hike was moderate and was a great push for me. John was extremely knowledgeable and informed us about the flora and fauna, and even though we didn't get to see a bear - we saw great views!

Beautiful views, beautiful hiking trails and fun information about flora and fauna by John and his daughter Sofia - Very nice guide, John DeGrazio. He had brought his 13-year-old daughter which was very nice for our 13 and 15 year-old daughters. The hikes took us past beautiful parts of the Yosemite primeval forests and gave a particularly good view of the park from the two viewpoints of Taft Point and Sentinel. Many thanks!!!
