I'm a savvy, experienced world traveler with a passion for the Bay Area. With over a decade working in the service and 6 years in the travel industry, particularly in the bay area, I have cultivated extensive knowledge and learned secrets about places around here. As a guide working for several top notch tour companies in the city, I have learned the importance of planning, timeliness, and communication. Working for these companies has also taught me that smaller groups interact more, learn and have more fun with less worry. As a fellow traveler, outdoor enthusiast, and foodie my goal is to make sure you have the best possible day exploring the city, enjoy the nature or sipping wine. I'm easy going, fun and personable and I hope that by the end of the day we're friends.

Overview of your Oakhurst tour

This is the best tour to get the most out of your one day experience to Yosemite Valley. It's a bit of a drive but worth every mile. We'll get on the road early in the morning and make our way east. Before reaching Yosemite we make a brief pit stop to grab breakfast and possible lunch to go. We arrive at Yosemite NP around 10. 30. We start off with a peaceful stroll down to Tuolumne Grove to see the Giant Sequoias, the biggest living thing on the planet. We make our way to the Valley after the hike. Before arriving in Yosemite Village we'll make several scenic stops e. i. Tunnel View, Bridalveil Falls. Once at the village, we'll have time to explore, hike, relax near the Merced river, check out the visitor center, or do whatever with at least 2 hours of free time. Yosemite Falls, Vernal Falls, Half Dome are all within minutes of the Village. On our way out of the Valley, we'll stop to see the crazy climbers on El Capitan and wave farewell at Valley View. We arrive back in SF in time for dinner.

Eric was great and really went above and beyond to make this tour the best. My daughter and I cant thank him enough for a truly memorable experience. Eric has a lot of knowledge of the aera and the park. Made some great suggestions and tailored the trip to meet our needs.

This tour with Eric was great! It was the perfect way for me and my family to see Yosemite in a day. We didn’t have to worry about the thing…just sat back and enjoyed the trip. Eric arrived early. He has a nice clean car. He provided waters and had an early stop for us to grab food for the day. He provided great interactive conversation and was very knowledgeable. We had a bit of fog for the day but he was very determined to have us see as many highlights as possible. We never felt rushed. We could walk trails at our pace, take breaks, and tons of pictures. Overall it was a top notch day. Everyone enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend!

Eric was an excellent travel guide. He was very accommodating to our needs and requests. He was also very knowledgeable of the area and its history. We were lucky to have Eric as our guide on one of the first days of our trip, as the information and recommendations that he shared with us were useful for the remainder of our vacation. I would highly recommend any of Eric's tours to anyone traveling in the San Francisco area.
