William and Jordan were so kind and patient with us as none of us had ever fished before! Our experience was a dream and we will continue to come out to this place! The lake is beautiful, the boat we rented was so fun, clean and comfortable!!! I cannot be happier with our experience there! The crew is honestly the best!!!! Thank you so much William and Jordan for making this fishing trip so memorable for all of us and helping the guys get everything they needed! We will be coming back!

We booked a boats here at Lake Mary on the 3rd day of our stay at Mammoth Lakes Camp Grounds. The…read morelake is so beautiful and seems to be well maintained. We rented two boats, one 8 person and another 10 person. I wish there was an option for a bigger boat to accommodate bigger groups but we ended up just making sure to drive to the same areas so that we would be together. The guy that helped us with the boat was very helpful, although he did not have a lot of knowledge about the best fishing spots. Around 6 of us were fishing and before our time ended I was able to catch one fish! :)

We were lucky another couple booked a guided tour for the same day as us, Aug 21st. Stuart…read morecoordinated our booking so that we got the best price. From beginning to end, he was awesome. We met at Navy Beach and began around 9am. We stopped for a short respite and science lesson, then returned about noon. I am a birder. Loved the eared grebes and ospreys. Stuart was caring and patient with the other couple, who had never kayaked before. It was a beautiful day on the lake--hot--but lovely. Always bring water and sunscreen. We would do it again if we manage to get back there!

We rented two single kayaks from Bass Lake Water Sports. The good: we got there waaaaaay early and…read morethey accommodated us. Of course we got there way early because the instructions said arrive an hour before your appointment time. Good little soldiers we, arrived at 8:02 for our 9am paddle. By 8;10 they wanted to know if we wanted to get breakfast first or just go. Pffft! Lemme at it. The other good: okay, it's the Sierra Nevada. How can it not be glorious on a lake? Buuuuuut... here comes the bad: waiting, waiting, waiting at the end for someone to notice we came back. I blew my requisite emergency whistle twice in frustration and still nothing. Probably ten minutes of employees not seeing us, or maybe preoccupied with the gasoline powered craft. Which brings me to the next maybe not bad but not great... we were the only people who didn't need to sign the disclosure that we had to pay for our fuel separately. That, in and of itself isn't so bad... but it meant this 3.5 mile lake was choppier than some oceans on which we've kayaked. Constant wake. We had to stay on the shore side of the large orange buoys, and the motorized pontoon boats, sea-doos, jet boats with water skis... they were on the other side. It's like when I was a kid flying 11 hours LAX - LHR in the 1970s and the smoking section's boundary changed based on the ratio of smokers. Yeah, there was segregation but hoo, didn't make a lotta difference. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. Still, we're on the lake, it's a beautiful day, what's not to love? The ugly wasn't appalling by any stretch but it wasn't great either, and it's the reason I'd rate this place 3 of 5 stars. It got the job done but I didn't see any evidence that people cared. The kayak was dirty and had trash in/on it - half a paddle padding torn off and river weeds. The paddle was held together with peeling electrical tape, had only one drip ring with no padding (maybe sitting on the prow?) and the paint was chipping off. And the drink holder was half full of slimy river water. Blech. Who wants to risk drinking nasty water running down your bottle? For $250 for two hours, I would expect better.

This is a historical landmark and she walked me through every room with great detail on the origin story and the rooms we were in. One of the best tour guides I've had. I have never experienced anything this - you have to really appreciate the amount of work, design and detail by Baldassare Forestiere - truly a feat! Very grateful the family makes this available for tours. Highly recommend if you appreciate gardening, architecture, art, engineering etc. They also did a great job of reminding me of my appointment and following up afterwards. If in Fresno area, this is a don't miss!!

My family along with our cousins and aunt decided to tour the Forestier Underground Gardens. It was…read moresuch a gem to visit. The gardens were built in an unexpected park of Fresno and these is a lot of history behind them. Parking was somewhat difficult but once you enter, the staff were very kind, organized, and positive. Our tour guide Raul was super sweet and provided a lot of history regarding the gardens and the family who built them. Raul had my 3 young boys engaged and interested. He answered all my questions and was so open to conversation. You could tell Raul was proud to be there telling all of us how the Gardens came to be. The Gardens are very interesting. I've never seen anything quite like these. The smell of all the citrus trees combine with the natural cooling underground was amazing and made the tour comfortable. If you have any time i do recommend visiting these secret gardens.
