Absolutely stunning private tour

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was absolutely amazing, myself and my partner had arranged the trip for his 40th birthday, a bucket list checked for both of us. Our tour guide Pablo arrived on time at the hotel as scheduled, drinks and snacks were provided for the full day tour. Be prepared this is a very long day, but the vehicle is comfortable and you can make as many rest stops along the way as needed. Our tour guide Pablo was informative, polite and knowledgeable providing information along the route to Yosemite. Inside Yosemite Pablo takes you to all the infamous scenic spots Tunnel View / El Capitan / Yosemite Village / The Ahwahnee Hotel / and many more historic places for photo ops and to really get a feel for what Yosemite is about - he took the best photos and knows all the angles to get the best shots of this absolutely stunning national park. The place is absolutely breathtaking - literally as in places your over 6000+ feet above sea level Definitely recommend this tour, and a massive thank you to Pablo for making this day extra special.

Enthusiastic, patient and excellent guide. Directing us to the best places and being the most proactive personal photographer. Brilliant day. Strongly recommended.

Great tour of Mariposa Grove and Yosemite Park

Published on Oct, 2024

We visited San Francisco in September, and Pablo drove us to Yosemite National Park and Mariposa Grove. During our visit, we were able to see the giant sequoia trees and the magnificent rocky mountains, including El Capitan and Half Dome. Our guide, Pablo, drove us to all the places we wanted to see. Even though there was a lot of driving involved, we were able to visit all the locations we had in mind, including the waterfalls and the river surrounding the area. He was very nice and showed us around. Although the long hours of driving eventually got tiring for the kids, we still enjoyed our visit very much.

A day out in Yosemite

Published on Oct, 2024

Yosemite is beautiful, everyone already knows that. While I’ve seen countless photos and videos about El Capitan, I was literally speechless and breathless the first time I saw it in person! Our timing was also perfect, as we got to see Glacier Point, Grizzly Giant, Half dome, the Yosemite village etc. It was the highlight of our 1 week SF trip, the whole place is beautiful and a natural treasure! More than Yosemite, I loved the company of Pablo - he’s the best. It’s a long drive from SF, and we had a long chat about how life in Brazil and India are weirdly similar in many ways. I was travelling with my wife and 2 year old baby, and we had so much fun. Pablo takes amazing pics, is an amazing driver, and is always considerate, friendly and knows a lot of fun facts about places and people! Thank you Pablo. Take care!
