A memorable time at Yosemite with Zeke - Our hike to Taft Point and Sentinel Dome with Zeke was a highlight of our trip to Yosemite. I don't think we would have seen both had it not been for his expert guidance. Zeke is personable and super easy going, making our time very enjoyable. He is also very knowledgeable of the park and we enjoyed learning more as we hiked to the amazing views! Thank you Zeke!

A great introduction to Yosemite - Lexi was amazing. Very knowledgeable and knew how to make the pace just right in the heat. Learned a lot about the plants, animals and Yosemite in general. And got to see my first bear with two cubs in the wild! Highly recommend .

Take this tour!!! - We had an amazing time on our 3 - hour walking tour! The park, of course is beautiful and amazing itself, but Lexi and Zeke made it the complete experience. They were extremely helpful in guiding us into the park and their knowledge and history of the park made the experience wonderful! Thank you for helping to make our time in Yosemite so memorable.

AWESOME WALKING TOUR! - Zeke was amazing. Knew the area and history, flora and fauna, kept it fun. Shared a few secrets that you’ll have to take his tour to learn. Coming back to Y next year with friends and we’ll definitely book him again.

City Girls in Yosemite - What a fun, knowledgeable and mostly flat hike around Yosemite! Zeke was engaging, story telling and fun activities were offered and made you feel more in tune with the vast surrounding valley. Communication was outstanding leading up to both our tours as well.

A perfect day in Yosemite - Can’t say enough about our experience on this walking tour. Zeke is an incredible guide you exhibits vast knowledge about the park and its plant life. We got to enjoy the most breathtaking visuals the park has to offer while learning so much. We will definitely be back for another tour. This tour is so cool.

Family-friendly tour - It was a nice, laid back way to explore parts of the valley. Very kid friendly, not rushed. Great way to hear and see highlights that would be easy to miss if we went on our own.
