    Josh, our guide, was FANTASTIC! We ALL absolutely LOVED our hike. We also loved how much he genuinely loved Yosemite. There were 4 of us on our hike and he made sure he took care of each of our needs and concerns. He even made us coffee, camping style, and it was delicious!! We HIGHLY recommend this hike and our tour guide.

    Our guide was Zim and she was just awesome! We had kids ages 13-6 plus 4 adults and she did the perfect level of hiking. She showed us so many special places that kids would find fun and us adults! Thanks Zim

    We did the mist trail which was stunning and very wet due to the unusually vibrant waterfalls this year. Our guide was Zim and she did a great job helping us avoid the rookie mistakes, navigating the climb which at times can be treacherous due to slippery rock and crowds. She also knew our pace and made sure we took time to enjoy particular views.

    The best experience of our trip. I have 2 adventurous teenage boys this experience was amazing. Our guide Alex was fantastic, so knowledgeable, helpful and fun. We hiked Upper Yosemite Falls and Alex made the trip outstanding! The owner, John was so flexible and great with us as our plans changed. I am such a fan of this company! If you are interested in hiking In Yosemite, use YExplore Yosemite Adventures. I highly recommend it!! My boys are planning their next adventure with this company. Thank you John and Alex for a memorable trip! See you guys next time.

    David‘s knowledge of the topography, trees, birds, animals and local history and climbing, was just what we hoped to learn about on our visit to Yosemite. His enthusiasm and care for the wilderness was evident. He accommodated two adolescents well. All round just great.

    Nos fascinó el tour !! El guía muy amigable y muy profesional !! A pesar que los días fueron complicados por que en el sur de Yosemite estaba el incendio, nos hizo el tour muy interesante !!

    We walked the Mist Trail to the top of Navarra Falls with our boys aged 14 and 17. The view was stunning and the cool water streams at the top made a perfect lunch break before we decended on the John Muir Trail. The only down side to this walk is that there are quite a lot of people on this trail.

    It was a great experience. Totally worth it. We learn a lot about the history of the park and made the most of the time we spend there. I think the best time to apreciate the beauty of this park is around may but it still was a great experience. There was a fire very close but the company was very helpful and we didnt loose the opportunity to visit this amazing park.

    We had a GREAT experience with YExplore. This company really cares about its customers and Yosemite. At all points we felt valued and welcome. They really went out of their way to make sure a guide was available for us when we could hike, and that we had a great guide. Our guide Emily was AWESOME--experienced, calm, patient, fun, interactive, interesting and informative. We were not experienced hikers, but she gave us confidence to complete a challenging hike. I guess we could have done the hike on our own, but having Emily really gave us confidence on our 1st day in the park and helped us to enjoy our hike even more. It was a perfect way to start our time in the park. I could not recommend YExplore (or Emily!) more highly.

    Our tour guide Chris was very nice, however, we were done with the tour in just about two hours. Based on how it was advertised, no fault of Chris’s, we thought there would be a lot more to see and expected something different than what we could just do on our own. It was very disappointing. It was way over priced for what we got. I feel like we should be reimbursed at least half of what we paid.
