Thank you for setting up the Sunday hike to the top of Half Dome. Laura was a great guide, the weather was perfect, visibility was incredible, and outside of a small hiccup or two, the day couldn't have gone much better.

Ian, Sam was fabulous - we highly recommend your organization to everyone. It was an enjoyable day. Thank you!

Hi Jerry: Thanks very much for your letter and the pictures. We had such a great time with you. The hike In Tuolumne was everything we had hoped it would be, and more! You're a wealth of information, not only for Tori and me but for Alex and Nan as well. It was the highlight of our Yosemite experience!

Ian: Just a quick note to tell you how much Kevin and I enjoyed the guiding that Laura did for us last week. We had a great time! Laura was a pleasure to be with -- friendly, very knowledgeable, patient with all our questions, quick to show us everything she could, etc. Kevin and I both want you to know what a great job she did and how much we appreciate her efforts. You obviously have built a very good business in the Yosemite guiding and we can see why. Thanks again., Bill

I just wanted to let you know that the two guides we hired for July 7 to tour Yosemite Valley (Jerry Anderson and Csuri Odry) were excellent and the group of kids and parents had a fabulous time. You and your team are true professionals and we could not have done our trip without you. Thanks! Craig Knox.

I just wanted to drop a note to officially thank Csuri Odry once more for helping to make my Hike for Discovery hike on June 24 a big success. When my fear of heights got the best of me on my way up Half Dome, Csuri saved the day. She sat me down and told me stories until I was calm enough to go down. She then led me and a fellow Hike for Discovery participant on a wonderfully fun hike around the park before meeting up with the rest of our group. Csuri took a potentially disappointing and embarrassing event and helped turn it into a very special and memorable experience. I truly appreciate her extensive experience, amazing attitude and beautiful spirit. Thanks! Amy Holder

Ian, Am now back in UK. I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you for fixing everything up. Jerry was FANTASTIC. I could not be more grateful. We had a terrific 2 days together...what a charming person he is.

Just a quick email to say Thanks... Jerry was fantastic, and all four of us had a wonderful time on Sunday withhim leading our hike to Gaylor Lakes. I'm very impressed by SYMG - and look forward to another trip with your team in the future!

Dear Ian, We just returned from the two day hikes, guided by Csuri Odry. We enjoyed the hikes immensely and are grateful to have had such an excellent guide.Thank you very much. Kind regards, Bernd Kirchhof .

Jerry the few simple tricks you taught me have made hiking much much easier. I can walk steep downhills much more easily. I'm only sorry that I had to wait till age 65 to learn.Thanks again.

Once again the hike was fantastic! Tenaya did a wonderful job and the hike was better than I expected. You run a great operation and have a fantastic staff.

We wanted to commend your organization for having such a sensational guide, Jerry Anderson. Words cannot appropiately describe the wonderful time we had with him. He was patient, knowledgeable, skilled, and thoroughly commited to our needs. We couldn't possibly have wished for a better guide. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to spend time with him.

Brian & Susy, February 2003

Thank you for choosing Jerry Anderson as our guide. He toured us through Yosemite in September. His knowledge on local history and his personal experience were awesome. We spent 3 days in Yosemite, then 1 week hiking in Tahoe and Jerry was definately the highlight of our trip. Please feel free to use us as a reference as needed.

I felt it was very important to let you know that we received the following comments from one of our clients. He and his daughter just returned from a 4 day Yosemite trip with SYMG and called us to say what a wonderful vacation it was. He said that his guide was fantastic and could not have possibly done anything more than he did. He also said the Tenaya Lodge was superb and everything about the trip was first rate. Thanks from us at GORP also. Keep up the great work; we certainly enjoy recommending tours when we know our clients will be well taken care of.

Debbie Mulvey, Sales Manager GORP Travel, August 2001

Our hiking tour was both comprehensive & informative, and inspirational. We appreciated the short hike at the beginning when we were fresh and ready for what was to come...and then the quiet place (with no tourists) for lunch by the stream. Our guides pace was comfortable for our group, ages 9-60. Thank you.

Judi Clarke, August 1999

Thank you! We really enjoyed our day in Yosemite with you. the views from our lunch spot were the best we had. We also appreciated the knowledge you shared about the park, the flora, rock climbing and fly fishing.
