Our guide Nate was so personable and very quickly figured out our interests after seeing what we gravitated toward. He drove us into the valley and we saw as much of the major natural features of Yosemite along with Native American influence and people and immigrants who helped shape how we access and explore this amazing national park today. We discussed the native fauna and plants which provided us with a deeper understanding and appreciation of this wondrous natural environment despite the tourism. And then, The Ahwahnee hotel which was the inspiration for the interior sets of “The Shining” horror movie - we wanted to visit and Nate took us for a personal tour - just WOW! Highly recommend the Yosemite Valley Discovery Walk, it was not tiring at all for us and got our 15,000 steps in for the day. Plus Nate is the best!

Hands down an excellent tour and would highly recommend
Carmelita_A, Mar 2024
Nate was our tour guide and did a phenomenal job maximizing our experience on the Yosemite Valley Discover Walk. He captivated our attention throughout the tour by sharing his knowledge of the layout and history of the park. He exuded time management skills that enabled us to see many of the park’s hidden gems that pictures cannot do justice and we probably would’ve missed out on had we ventured on our own. We went mid March, dressed in layers, and brought a change of clothes. The kids 10 & 14 loved walking through a hollowed trunk of a fallen tree and playing in the snow throughout the hike. Hands down an excellent experience!
