5.00Visiting the U.S. for the first time with my son was already special, but Yosemite made it unforgettable. The park's beauty—towering cliffs, waterfalls, and serene meadows—was beyond words. Our guide, Roman, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and made everything come alive. The tour was smooth and well-organized, letting us enjoy every moment. Watching my son take in El Capitan and Yosemite Falls was priceless. A perfect introduction to America's natural wonders. Highly recommended, especially for first-time visitors!
