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.
