I am a Los Angeles native. I have a zest for life and knack for adventure! I love to experience all of the gems that this beautiful city has to offer. Whether it is a day at the beach, local treks, the city attractions, Hollywood glamour, or taking in the splendor of Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, or the thrill of Las Vegas -- I will help you to experience the "wow" factor! After twenty years of the corporate grind, now that my youngest daughter is off to college, it is my time to pursue a career that I love! My passion for traveling has lead me to this new career as a professional tour guide. I have long been the go-to source for friends and family who want to have the adventure of a lifetime experiencing the wonders of California and beyond. Now, I will treat you just like my closest friends and customize an amazing tour experience that you will never forget! As a photographer, I also have a passion for finding the exceptional beauty in the ordinary. I will take you to the perfect spot to experience an amazing sunset, a semi-private bluff and cove at the beach, or an incredible view of the city skyline, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon. As a professional driver, I also know how best to navigate the city traffic to best maximize your precious tour time! You will find that my tours are like snowflakes -- no two are exactly alike because I will always customize something special to make your experience unique to your desires, interests and activity level! All ages are welcome - I am great with everyone from 9 months to 99 years young! Let's go! There are no restrictions with this tour.

Experience the splendor of Sequioa Kings, Canyon and Yosemite National Parks. With the largest concentration of waterfalls in the world, majestic granite monoliths and the giant sequoias all in one place. This is what makes Yosemite the "Grandest of all National Parks". Views of Yosemite Falls, Tunnel View, Half Dome, and so much more! Be prepared to create your own Ansel Adams awe-inspiring photographs and life-long memories! In Sequoia we will visit "General Sherman" the largest living tree on earth and all the other wonderful Sequoias in the Giant Forest. This is home to half of the Earth's largest and longest living trees. We will also stop off at several view points as we drive through Kings Canyon NP towards Yosemite NP. This is a 3 day/ 2 night tour.
Amazing tour! Mark is a brilliant guide, full of interesting information and local knowledge to get the best out of the trip depending on time of visit, personal interests and fitness levels. The car was very comfortable and Mark's driving is excellent - no travel sickness even on the switchbacks! Mark was very accommodating and a genuinely nice person to chat to. We saw so much more (and with zero stress) than we could ever have achieved on our own. Highly recommend!
Mark was an exceptional tour guide. It was very evident from the start that he loves the parks and does everything he can to impart knowledge that most tourists would not know about the parks. He is well educated, articulate, friendly, and very customer oriented. Dedicated to pleasing his customers at all times. He made our trip one of the best, and we have traveled the world.
Mark gave us a wonderful experience through Yosemite National Park. He altered the agenda of the tour given closures at Sequoia NP so that we still got to see the Mariposa Grove, and adjusted our tour on the road to suit our needs. He was very knowledgeable and clearly has a love for the natural beauty of Yosemite. He was also great company for our family for three days. We would wholeheartedly recommend Mark for future travellers.
My tour with Mark was amazing. He is very knowledgeable of the area. He caters to your needs/wants/abilities and makes great recommendations for places to stay based on your budget. He also made the long drive to Yosemite interesting by talking about the local history of California. I highly recommend him as a tour guide.
