ヨセミテは想像以上に素晴らしかったです。 ただ外国人は入場税に100$以上追加徴収され、日帰りツアーとしては財布に優しくないです。昼食をセットするなりして少し割安感を出してもらうと助かります。また道中、工事中のため大きく迂回せざるを得なくなり、到着が遅れました。事前の情報収集はしっかりお願いします。

Molto costosa come escursione, ma merita di andare, l'unica cosa che ci ha infastiditi è l'audio del microfono dell'autista/guida che era talmente alto che neanche con la musica nelle orecchie riuscivano a isolarci. Parlando per più di 4 ore di fila diventa pesante. Per il resto molto bravo, simpatico e preparato.
