A Beautiful Day in Yosemite - John DeGrazio was beyond excellent. His knowledge of Yosemite history, flora and fauna made our day. He was accommodating to our request of different stops along the way. After years of hiking excursions, John continues to show his love of nature and Yosemite. Our four hours and six miles went quickly as we marveled at the mountains surrounding us .

5STARS All the way!!! - The website was easy to navigate. I chose this company because we had a limited time in Yosemite and covered all the must see sights. Our guide Erin was AMAZING!!! She was easy to connect with, understood our fitness levels and adjusted accordingly, taught us a lot about Yosemite and was a true pleasure for our 5 and a half hour hike. Would highly recommend!!!

Summiting Half Dome with YExplore! - John, our guide and owner of YExplore, guided our group up to the summit of Half Dome. John has summited over 200 times, knows the trail inside and out, and was our official cheerleader getting us up the Cables. John is the nicest guy and was an honor having him guide us up Half Dome. I will be returning next year to do more adventures with YExplore.

Amazing Firsy Day Hike - This guided hike was the perfect way to start our time in Yosmeite, we hiked Sentinal Dome, Taft Point, and Roosevelt Point from Glacier Point.
The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, learning about the topography, nature and wildlife and the way of life in these parts, it was a true insight we could not have got from hiking on our own, it made us more aware when we were exploring the park on our own and shaped our own itinerary for the rest of our stay.
Thank you for your amazing service. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic hike - Booked the Glacier point hike 5-6 hours. Completed the hike in just under 5 hours. Views were stunning and we even got to see a black bear and lots of other wildlife. Ana was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Great tour despite one of the hottest days - My 16 year old daughter and me were doing a Yosemite hiking tour first time and it was one of the hottest days in the year but our marvellous guide Emily just found the perfect hike that we could handle it and we saw most of the spectacular sights.

Amazing experience - This company and the guides know what they are going and have been running this company for around 20 years. John is excellent and informs you about everything that is involved, if you’re uncertain, he will encourage you and put you at ease. I learned a lot from hiking with him. I can’t wait to return and book another trip with these guys
