It’s Just Like Having a Tour Guide in Your Car™

WHAT TO EXPECT:  
Yosemite just might be the iconic US National Park.  A land of giants, massive granite cliffs and domes providing the setting for dramatic waterfalls to tumble thousands of feet over.    

Our tour begins as you approach each entrance, listen to an overview of the geological features you’ll be viewing and how time and the elements have shaped the valley, as well as a plan for exploring the Park.

While in Yosemite Valley, with stops at Yosemite and Bridalveil Falls we’ll show where to spot for rock climbers on the sheer granite El Capitan.  Considered mecca for climbers from all over the world, you’ll hear about their feats, while new records may be set for you to see.  

As we climb to the spectacular Glacier Point for views down into the valley, you’ll learn how important Presidential visits shaped the future for National Parks and hear how the legendary Buffalo Soldiers became guardians of the National Park.

Travel to a hidden corner of Yosemite National Park, the Hetch Hetchy Valley and feel rather insignificant as you stand under the towering Giant Sequoias in Mariposa Grove.

The tour officially starts and ends close to each entrance of the Park; Big Oak Flat, El Portal, Fish Camp Wawona or Lee Vining Tioga Pass entrances.  Or you can join and pick up the commentary anywhere along the route.  Narration will automatically trigger at the next commentary point.

Highlights along the tour route include

•	Mariposa Grove

AMAZING!!

This app brought me to the most breathtaking scenic locations in Yosemite that were not described, or even mentioned, in my guide book! (Two are Taft Point/The Fissures and Washburn Point, both on the road to Glacier Point.) The narration is educational, and delivered in a friendly, congenial manner. Feels like he’s a friend traveling with me who is chock full of knowledge. As other reviewers have said, the app works flawlessly, even in areas where there is no GPS or cell phone reception. I am so grateful for this app. I have already purchased it for my next national Park trips.

Must-have for your trip

This app was helpful to know which lanes to be in to maximize seeing attractions in the park. We loved the stories peppered in along the way. So glad we discovered this app before the trip!

Great alternative to a real tour guide

Excellent value for the money. We were going to take a bus tour, but they were closed. Our hotel suggested this and we were very happy we tried it.

The whole family loved the Gypsy!

We were so glad we downloaded this and had Mr. Gypsy take us around Yosemite and tell us stories along the way. My 7 and 10 year old loved it, and even my hard to please hubby. I experienced the best Yosemite had to offer and learned so much, while also being entertained. I will not do another trip without this app!

Fabulous app!

We have purchased this for seven different parks and it is awesome! Bryce & Zion, Yellowstone & Grand Tetons, Rocky Mtn, and Yosemite National Parks. The narrator is fabulous! He alerts you along the way with must-do stops and prioritizes others. In between, he gives short anecdotes about the geology or history of the area. His voice is energetic without being childish and the stories he tells are interesting. Every time we go to a national park, I look in the App Store for the GyPSy Guide for the area...it does not disappoint!!
