Amazing! All of it! Would definitely do this again and recommend to anyone!
Possibly one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had. As a solo traveller I was nervous and apprehensive I would end up lonely but the whole trip ended up being 5 other solo travellers who very quickly turned from strangers into friends. Our guide, jonathon Yonts, could not have done a better job. He was extremely professional and organised, while also managing to be one of the most fun people to be around. Whatever he is being paid isn’t close to being enough, this man did not take one second off the whole trip. He was constantly making sure everyone was good, organising food, helping us out etc. he took the time to get to know us all quite deeply and really invested himself in us all. An unbelievable trip that will stick with me for the rest of my days.
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible review! We're truly happy to hear that your trip became such a memorable experience, especially as a solo traveler. It’s wonderful to know that you connected with your fellow travelers and that a group of strangers quickly became friends. We’ll be sure to share your heartfelt words with Jonathan. His dedication, organization, and genuine care for guests are exactly what make a trip special, and we know he’ll appreciate hearing how much of an impact he had on your experience. Thank you for traveling with us and for sharing such a meaningful memory!
The itinerary for the 3 days was well planned out and really showed the beauty of Yosemite. Considering we went on a weekend in July, we avoided overly crowded spots and queues, which I was concerned about. As a vegan, I was well looked after from a food perspective too, and the options we were given were good quality and healthy compared to other tours I've been on. The final day being a day of doing your own thing was nice too for those more independent travellers, and our guide Ben was great at giving us options with how to spend it. My only negative feedback would be the campsite and camping equipment (mattresses were pretty rubbish). I was keen to stay in the park and have a more 'in nature' feel as opposed to the tight squeeze of the RV park. I understand the choice is due to the facilities available, but it would be good to make this super clear to avoid disappointment. I also think it would be great to provide a packing list of what to bring pre-tour. A lot of us rocked up without a towel or pillow, as we did not know what would be provided.
It was an amazing experience! Sara was the best and was always there for us!!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy you had an amazing experience. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Sarah—she'll be delighted to hear she helped make your trip so special. Thanks for choosing to travel with us!
Would like to give 6 stars. Such a wonderful event. Nice group, great guide of course Yosemite is worth staying 3 days
Thank you so much! We'd gladly accept that sixth star! 😊 We're thrilled you enjoyed the group, your guide, and everything Yosemite has to offer. Three days really is a great way to experience the park. Thanks for traveling with us and for sharing your kind words!
It was amazing! Sarah was a great guide who alwasy tried to accomodate us in the best possible way. We did some hikes with amazing views and Sarah also had great reccomendations for our free time. The trip was a good mix of hiking, visiting iconic viewpoints, enjoying nature and free time to do whatever we liked.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're really happy to hear you had such a great experience and that Sarah took such good care of you throughout the trip. It sounds like you really got to enjoy the best of Yosemite—from iconic viewpoints to great hikes and some well-deserved free time. We appreciate you traveling with us!
Happened to visit during a period where it was not packed. Tristan was a great tour guide and worked very hard.
The 3 day camping trip to Yosemite was by far the best group tour i have ever done. Yosemite has incredible beauty, and the 3 days give you just enough time to really enjoy it (and a desire to come back again). What really made the trip, though, was our phenomenal group, not least our gem of a tour guide Lawton. Lawton was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the area, and went above and beyond to connect with all of us both individually and as a group. Even with long days of driving, and when the weather wasn’t quite in our favor, he was always positive, kind, and keen to chat. His adaptability meant nothing ever felt like a pain, and we never felt like we missed out. If you have the capacity to do the 3 days i would 100% recommend (especially if you are lucky enough to get Lawton as your guide), just make sure to bring a pillow 😊
Incredible 3 day camping trip. We saw so much and Lawton our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful. Best guided trip I’ve been on.
An awesome trip to Yosemite! Lawton was a great guide with a lot of knowledge :) Even with the weather changing so quickly he adapted the day so we still had an awesome time and saw great places!! Camp-site was great too but may have saved some driving time if we were in the national park.
