Our tour guide was ‘the best’. Number one he was a safe driver. Number two he was so interesting and knowledgeable. Periodically he would play informative tapes on Yosemite park that were very interesting. Number three he kept the tour on schedule. Number four he personally prepared a lunch for us, all healthy food and all delicious. You could tell he was into cooking. Number five he was very kind and made sure everyone was comfortable. Number six he went way and above on what he had to do. Also someone had left a wine glass on the bus from a previous tour and he was making a special trip to Harvey’s to return to owner and that woukd have been a huge hassle with the traffic and parking. I can’t really say enough good things about the tour or guide. His ski name was snow something!!!!!! Terrible I didn’t catch it the entire day; was too busy taking every second in!!Maribeth_B

Snowshoe John was an excellent guide on this trip. He is very experienced and friendly answering countless questions from his personal experience. He made me feel very comfortable then entire trip. I would take another trip with him as a guide without question. It was a great experience made only better by him. I also enjoyed the lunch we had in the park. It was refreshing to have real hand-prepared food on the trip and not just cold sandwiches. It was unfortunate that smoke from the Dixie fire affected some of our views, but we were lucky and still had so many great and memorable views and experiences that it barely diminished the experience. I hope these tours continue as what they offer is extremely valuable. We even saw videos along the trip that helped show us more about what to expect as well as interesting history related to our trip.10Foster

There was something for everyone on this trip. Don't go if you hate beautiful vistas, mountain fresh air, a bit of exercise and history lessons. Snowshoe John was the perfect host, feeding us delicious food and educating us about all things Yosemite.
