With over 25 years of global travel expertise and a foundational degree in Business and Tourism from London University, I have dedicated my career to crafting unforgettable travel experiences. My career began in the early 1990s leading tours through the historic landscapes of Greece, where I discovered my true calling: adventure travel. For the past two decades, I have specialized in designing and guiding private, tailormade multi-day and day tours across the USA, Canadian Rockies, and the wilderness of Alaska. I specialize in the national parks and cities of the western United States. In 2004 I made the Bay Area my home. I work closely with small groups and individual travelers to shape unique itineraries that perfectly align with their specific group dynamics and personal pacing. Because I view every trip as a fresh adventure, I pour my expert "hidden gem" knowledge and deep-rooted local industry relationships into every itinerary. This unique network allows me to secure exclusive experiences while keeping client costs to a minimum—ensuring unparalleled value without compromising on quality. I love what I do, and I look forward to guiding you on your next great adventure.

Journey from San Francisco into the heart of California's Sierra Nevada on a four-day adventure exploring the dramatic landscapes and natural wonders of Yosemite National Park. Famous for its towering granite formations, cascading waterfalls, giant sequoias, and sweeping mountain vistas, Yosemite offers an exceptional opportunity to experience one of America's most celebrated national parks. This itinerary combines iconic viewpoints, opportunities for hiking and walking, and time to appreciate the park's diverse scenery at a comfortable pace with an expert local tour guide. This tour can be fully customized/extened to include other national parks in the Southwest USA and end in a different city, for example, Las Vegas, Phoenix and more.
Day 1: San Francisco to Yosemite Leave San Francisco behind and travel into California's spectacular mountain landscapes, arriving in Yosemite National Park to begin exploring its remarkable natural surroundings. Along the way, enjoy the changing scenery as the urban landscape gives way to forests, foothills, and granite peaks. Day 2: Yosemite Valley Explore Yosemite's iconic sights, including Lower Yosemite Fall, Vernal Fall, Nevada Fall, Mirror Lake, Bridalveil Fall, and Tunnel View. Enjoy opportunities for scenic walks and photography. Day 3: Giant Sequoias and Glacier Point Visit Tuolumne Grove or Merced Grove to discover magnificent giant sequoias. Continue to Glacier Point for panoramic views of Yosemite Valley and Half Dome, with a short walk, subject to seasonal access. Day 4: Return to San Francisco Travel back to San Francisco, stopping at Knights Ferry, a historic California community known for its picturesque wooden covered bridge and Gold Rush-era heritage. Arrival is expected around 3 PM.
