5.00I booked this tour for myself and my elder parents. It’s very convenient if you want to see the major viewpoints of the park without having to navigate the park yourself. We only had 20 minutes per each stop which goes by pretty fast so you don’t get to explore too much but if you’re not one to do that and just want to take beautiful photos at each stop then this tour is perfect for you.
