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.
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.
WHAT YOU’LL SEE:
Highlights along the tour route include
• Mariposa Grove
• Bridalveil Falls
• El Capitan
• Yosemite Valley
• Glacier Point
• Hetch Hetchy
• Tioga Pass
• Yosemite Falls
• Half & Sentinel Domes
• Wawona Covered Bridge
• Olmsted Point
• Tuolumne Grove

Yosemite GyPSy Guide Tour App Comments & Reviews
Yosemite GyPSy Guide Tour Positive Reviews
Must-have app for your visit!I am so glad I heard about this app before taking a family trip to Yosemite! This app is absolutely perfect - it works flawlessly (even without cell service), the narrator is well-spoken and pleasant to listen to, and it is full of great facts and recommendations. We just started the tour, put the phone down, and listened to all the great info as we navigated the park. You don’t need to ever touch your phone. All of the information is automatically triggered by your GPS location. It warns you of upcoming points of interest, where to turn off, and gives hints about best parking options. This frees you up to just enjoy the views! It’s really like having a tour guide with you in your car. Absolutely worth the money! I will definitely purchase their other apps if we visit other locations they cover..Version: 2.7.0
Really greatThis app was surprisingly good. I just spent two days in Yosemite, and this app worked beautifully. This is an audio guide. You start the app while you’re driving and it gives you information as you drive, based on knowing your location and which direction you’re traveling. The script is quite rich, and the person who recorded the audio was quite skilled at it. It was like having a tour guide riding in the car with us. In addition to information about stops and scenery, it also give navigation information that is very well timed to help you get into the right lane at the right time for wherever you want to go. It was absolutely worth the several dollars I paid for it. Keep in mind, though, that this is just an audio guide, and while it was great, I was initially surprised that it didn’t have any text-based info in it. That is, it doesn’t have anything in it that you can read in advance of your trip, to research what sites to see or to plan your itinerary. Just get a different app for that and plan on launching this one as you approach the entrance to Yosemite National Park, and keep it running whenever you’re in the car..Version: 2.1.6
Amazing technology!Whoa! This app absolutely made the trip to Yosemite perfect for us! We named him Papa and he guided us through every part of this national treasure. Plenty of advance notice when there was a decision on a turn to take or a picture opportunity...without him we would have been lost both geographically and educationally! Although they give you a map when you enter, just save that for when you get back home! Papa gave us so much history and information on each feature that we may not have taken the time to research...real time and real eyes on the park feature as he described it. Use this app ...period! You will love it!.Version: 2.8.1
The PERFECT App!We have been to Yosemite a number of times but this guide completely changed our experience. It helps point you towards things you must see and others that you may not have realized existed. It gives you real time approach (through GPS) to parking so that you don't miss a parking lot and gives you direct pointers on where to spot iconic landmarks. Great for pictures! It also gives you amazing hiking tips including what to expect for experience levels. In between guided points, he provides fillers with Yosemite history tidbits. Unquestionably the best app I have ever had for guided travel! Thank you!.Version: 2.1.6
Don’t go on a trip without it!!While planning our trip to Yosemite National Park, I read about this app somewhere and thought ok, I’d risk the few bucks!! I am sooooo glad I did! We didn’t miss a thing while riding through Yosemite, and decided to ride to Hetch Hetchy as well! It’s like having your own personal tour guide! I happened to have bought a portable battery charger for this trip, so I never had a problem with a dying battery. If you’re planning on spending money to go on vacation, then spend the extra on this app and the battery charger. You won’t regret it! Now I can’t wait to go on more Gypsy Guide tours!.Version: 2.7.0
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..Version: 3.5.1
Gypsy Made The Trip So Much Better!My wife and I learned about the app on the Yosemite Facebook page and also saw it in a Yosemite magazine. We decided to try it and were so glad that we did! We learned so much driving from place to place and all of the recommendations were spot on. It is also very helpful with where to turn, etc. We came away from the trip with so much more history and knowledge than we would have got by just doing it ourselves. Really cool and highly recommended..Version: 2.8.1
Great GPS Guided Tour of YosemiteI've been to Yosemite several times, but my husband of 72 years had last been here with his family when he was a child. I found this app to give him an audible experience along with our drive through. It's wonderful! Many helpful directives some of the iconic places in the park and entertaining historic tidbits between stops. The only thing is the narrators self promoting discussions of his publications - but you can't blame the guy for shameless plugs on his own app! 😏 Having said that, we thoroughly appreciated this app and will definitely use it again for another destination!.Version: 2.1.6
A must for any tripMakes the drives so much more enjoyable! This was the first time I used Gyps Guide since I only just heard about it. I am mad that I did not know about it for a past trip to Yellowstone. It makes the driving so much better, and it is great to know in real time what you are seeing and if you are missing anything. Between the navigation, tips, stories, and suggestions, it is a must, especially for national parks! I am excited to see future improvements and new locations..Version: 2.7.0
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!!.Version: 3.0.1
Best App Ever Made for YosemiteThis made my Yosemite trip 1000x better. We drove into the park in the South Gate and I remembered to turn this app on. I was blown away at how you basically have a knowledgeable tour guide in the car with you! He recommended we stop at Glacier Point, then showed us the Yosemite Valley! Just buy this app if you are going to Yosemite, even if you have been there before this will tell you about facts and stories you didn’t know! BUY BUY BUY!!!.Version: 2.8.1
Ended up having a friend in the carResearching, I ran across the Gypsy Guide for Yosemite National Park. For $5+ what’s to loose. We were so pleased at the points he pointed out that we would have missed. Also he helps navigate at turns and major routes. After Yosemite we went to the hotel and downloaded the Big Sur tour, just as informative plus 7 have to ding dongs, so you don’t miss out. This tour was $9+, but worth it. Highly recommend this app.Version: 3.0.1
Gypsy YosemiteLOVED IT!! It was very informative about what was in the park to see, the driving instructions were spot on! Loved that it told us what lane to in, all the different options on how to get to where we wanted to go. Especially loved the commentary, the history of the area and the men and women who played a part, the stories were entertaining. Will be using again and again, would highly recommend to everyone!.Version: 2.1.6
Amazing App - Won’t travel without it!GyPSy made sure we saw all the amazing parts of Yosemite, and eve recommend the less important parts we could skip. We used it all three days in the park and would highly recommend for anyone coming for their first or second visit. So much better and convenient than the tours offered inside and outside the park. Will plan our next vacation only around parks with GyPSy guides!.Version: 2.1.5
Yosemite and Grand TetonsThis app is incredible. Well worth the money. The guide sounds like someone I would love to meet! Personable, funny, articulate and so informative! Around every turn seems something new and enjoyable to hear about! Such great information and just interesting to listen to. Have just purchased the guide to Zion and Bryce Canyon trips and can’t wait to use it again . Thank u for this fantastic app!.Version: 2.8.1
Really enjoyedWe had a great time listening to this guide while driving through Yosemite - we loved learning about the park's geological and human history. We downloaded the app before getting to the park, so all the audio was on our phone already and didn't require cell signal (which is important because you will definitely lose cell service in the park)..Version: 2.0.5
Excellent!We used the gypsy guide to Yellowstone a couple of years ago and was amazed at how well it worked and how great the tour guide was! It will not only give you great history and information in the park but also helps you navigate around the parks so well you won’t need your gps! The Yosemite gypsy guide was just as good this time! It’s a must have and for the price you can not beat it!.Version: 2.1.1
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!.Version: 3.0.1
Completely changed our tripI downloaded this app at the end of our first day in the park. Man did this tour change our trip. He is so knowledgeable and helps even in guiding through traffic. Everyone in our family love him and we will definitely buy another app wherever they are available..Version: 2.1.6
Got my kids off their social mediaLoved this app. Will look for it on all my future trips. Had it playing in car and every time it came on my boys got off their phones and shushed everyone so they could hear the interesting commentary. Very helpful info for Yosemite trails..Version: 3.0.1
Must have appWe have used Gypsy Guide in other parks before Yosemite. Didn’t disappoint. This guide is easy to use, has so much info!! It stayed with us no matter where we were in the park and allows visitors to really enjoy Yosemite without worries of missing something or getting lost. INVALUABLE!.Version: 3.0.1
Must-have for your tripThis 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!.Version: 3.5.1
AMAZINGI have used this for multiple national park trips, and I am telling you, this is a life saver. It makes sure you don't miss a thing while guiding you and giving lots of useful information. Only wish is that there was one of these for every national park!.Version: 2.0.5
AmazingThis audio driving tour was absolutely perfect for our first visit to Yosemite. So helpful and informative. I thoroughly enjoyed this app and will definitely be using other gypsy guide apps for other parks! In my opinion, this app is a must have for your first visit..Version: 2.1.6
Highly recommend!!!So glad we used this app. Not only did it point out interesting places along our drive, it helped so much in knowing where to park and what to anticipate along the way..Version: 2.8.1
AmazingThis app is absolutely amazing and worth the money. It was like we had our own personal tour guide in our car. I would highly recommend it for everyone. Even my 20 and 18 yo loved it. Best app purchase ever!!.Version: 2.7.0
Great alternative to a real tour guideExcellent 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..Version: 3.0.1
Worth itThis was a great app! Great information about stops and informative stories to learn about the park. I’ll definitely be buying his other locations!.Version: 2.7.0

Great for a first time visitVery useful..Version: 2.1.1
Wow.This made my Yosemite experience unbelievable. 😱.Version: 2.0.5
Love this app!Yosemite is the 2nd tour I've taken using Gypsy and it's amazing. I also used it for Yellowstone. Not only are you assured of being given every option you need, but the tours are also peppered with humorous antidotes and additional background and history. The $4.95 cost replaces a $200 per person ticket on a tour bus, and allowed us to do everything casually at our own pace. Both places I used this app, there was no cell service, but since the app is GPS activated, it was not the least bit of an issue. This will be the best $4.95 you will ever pay for an app..Version: 1.1
Amazing such a good app best $5 ever spentMy wife and I have loved GyPSy Apps in both Yosemite and Road to Hana (Maui). We love these app guides. He is so funny and helpful and always has really good insight into what to do, how much time to spend, and what is a must do! Honestly the best $5 I've ever spent!.Version: 1.1
Mr. DisneyThis was our families first time to Yosemite, and we only had one day to spend in the park. We looked through numerous articles, blogs, and YouTube videos to find awesome places to explore, but none were as insightful as this fun gps car tour guide. The voice is perfect, and not annoying. Highly recommend. He is with you as you drive throughout the park and is definitely worth the small price..Version: 2.1.6
Very informativeA very informative and helpful ap. Love that it runs on location services alone as service in the area is spotty if non existent.The ap developers should provide an update for current information . The information regarding entrance requirements to Hetch Hetchy are outdated..Version: 2.1.1
