Wild Yosemite - Sonora, California

We loved working with Wild Yosemite!!! Gabe was incredibly prompt and efficient in securing Matteo as our guide for a week-long hiking program last October.

Matteo did an incredible job relaying his vast knowledge of Yosemite in a very entertaining and relatable way for our participants. He was fun, personable, and genuinely cared for and catered to the needs and pacing of our elderly clientele.

I would highly suggest the team at Wild Yosemite to any first-time or returning visitors of the Yosemite area!

Gabriel was amazing! He knew all the secret spots to get the most breathtaking views of the waterfalls. My mother had always dreamed of seeing the waterfalls of Yosemite, but she had a stroke which left her unable to walk very far without assistance. Gabriel brought us to so many incredible spots that allowed my mother to take in the stunning beauty of Yosemite.

I greatly appreciated his flexibility in adjusting our tour to accommodate the many changing requests of the group. He was also very sweet and patient with my kids, who took some time to warm up. And to top things off, he is a phenomenal photographer. He captured so many picture-perfect moments of our family that I definitely plan to print and hang on our walls.

The highlight of our trip was having a sunset dinner and s'mores at Glacier Point; the view was breathtaking. Thank you, Gabriel, for the unforgettable and magical tour. We had so much fun, and the hikes were unforgettable. We will definitely be back for more adventures and hidden gems with you!

CJ (our guide) was very familiar with all areas of the park and valley as he is an experienced rock climber. He took us to areas we would not otherwise have known about without his guidance. My son (age 13) and myself really enjoyed this adventure.

What an epic trip! We had such a lovely experience visiting Yosemite and working with Gabriel. He had vast knowledge of the area and was very patient with our group. We have four kids ranging from 8-13.
Gabriel was very thorough and committed to everyone’s safety.
Gabriel showed us Yosemite and led us to places that only the locals knew of. We had an amazing time and will be back to partner with Wild Shepherd! Very professional and knowledgeable.
Thanks for a life changing adventure.

I've hiked Yosemite my whole life, but the one thing I hadn't experienced was the Yosemite Valley fire falls which occurs every year, if the conditions are just right. I never knew the best place to view them from so didn't try in previous years.
We scheduled time with Gabe from Wild Yosemite and he took us to a spot to view the falls from that is kind of a secret spot where only a few serious photographers were located. My wife and I watched the fire falls and sipped wine from about 700 feet above the valley floor. It was amazing.
Gabe at Wild Yosemite scouts out the best hikes, best viewing locations that only come with constant exploring of Yosemite. Gabe's knowledge of Yosemite, and his warm and caring personality make him stand out among guides.

Gabe was an amazing guide who was very knowledgeable about the area, it's history, and the climate. He took the time to speak individually with everyone in our group. I would recommend this tour to everyone who visits Yosemite

I had an incredible experience with Wild Yosemite, particularly being guided on the Pohono Trail by Gabriel. His expertise and enthusiasm made the journey unforgettable. He even took some amazing photos of my group of friends. If you’re looking for a professional tour guide, this is the right guy for the job.

Gabe helped make our trip absolutely unforgettable! From stunning hikes to engaging conversations Gabe only exceeded expectations. His knowledge of the park is vast, he knows all the best views and the local intel. Got a question about a certain rock formation or tree? Gabe knows the answer. He makes sure to curate the trip based on your interest and ability, while providing the overall best experience the park can offer you. Absolutely will be returning to hike with Gabe again!
