“Our guide Calder was great. Communication before hand of where to be was spot on, he arrived on time, talked us through the detail of the day, kept us informed the whole time. We made a few stops for refreshments and bathroom breaks. As we drove Calder, where appropriate pointed out areas of interest and just interacted with us all day (but also gave us our own time to ask questions and just enjoy the ride). The van was lovely. Although it rained that didn’t stop us! Calder provided us with umbrellas! We saw climbers on El Capitan which was just unbelievable! Some of our group saw bears, Yosemite is…”
