Snowshoe John made the trip worth it! - Snowshoe John knew everything there is to know about Yosemite with his 30+ years of experience in the park. He answered all of our questions, had personal experiences to share, and added so much to the tour. We saw everything we wanted and MORE! The lunch was perfect, sitting in Yosemite valley for an unforgettable experience! He was awesome and I will be back to visit Yosemite Park! Thank you for the tour!

Fantastic tour of Yosemite! - We highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Snowshoe John, was amazing!! He has a wealth of knowledge and is very enthusiastic about Yosemite NP. The tour started with pick up at 5:00am, stopped for a lite breakfast set up by John and entered YNP at 7:45. The road at just opened up so there weren’t a lot of people which was great for us. John set up a delicious lunch next to a raging river with a gorgeous backdrop. We saw everything described in the tour and much more! We were in the park for about 9+ hours. It was a long day but totally worth it!!

Fantastic comprehensive overview of Yosemite. - This tour is a perfect way to get a comprehensive overview of Yosemite if you're staying at South Lake Tahoe. Our guide John was so informative, personable, engaging and focused on making sure everyone had a great time. It's a long day for sure but we had over 8 hours in the park, even getting in some bonus stops since traffic was lighter. John really knows the park and it's so obvious he has a passion to show the beauty of Yosemite to his guests! He even supplied breakfast and lunch for our tour, both were delicious! My only suggestion would be to have a bit more time at the store in Crane Flats to shop for souvenirs as the store we stopped at didn't have a great selection. Other than that, the day was perfect in every way.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience! - This tour was amazing! I saw and experienced so much more with the group than I ever could have done on my own in the same amount of time. Snowshoe John was friendly and SO knowledgeable about Yosemite and the surrounding area, about everything from geography to history to the plants and animals around. He also happens to be a good cook! The picnic lunch was great. Definitely recommend this trip. It's more than worth the price!

Fun and informative tour! - John is one of the best excursion guide we have ever had. He is so knowledgeable about the area and was considerate of the need to stop for a restroom and snacks. The breakfast and lunch were fun picnics. It was obvious that he prepared the meals with alot of consideration! We definitely would recommend this tour with John.

Yosemite experience - Snowshoe John was a great guide and a good driver! We encountered icy roads and blowing wind but he handled everything very well. He gave us ALOT of information about the park based on his own experiences in the park. The snack and lunch offerings were excellent choices with plenty to go around. The stops were well timed and the photo ops were incredible! All around a great experience and well worth the cost. Thank you, Snowshoe John!
