Summary:
We had such a great time on this tour, I would recommend it. Jarrett was a great guide, he was so knowledgable. We were a family with two teenagers and they loved it too. Lunch was good and the stops were perfect for a little bit of exploring. Watching the climbers on El Capitan was fun!

Summary:
The perfect blend of spectacular Yosemite sights, stops, photo ops, walks, and narration. There was even a telescope to view cimbers on El Capitan. Our tour guide, Phil, added enthusiasm, great history, perspectives, and engaging stories. He was responsive to our requests and made everyone feel comfortable. The snacks were great with plentiful bottled water. The lunch sandwiches were fresh with a large selection. A very worthwhile and relaxing way to see Yosemite.
