En primer lugar me gustaría remarcar que esta excursión HA SIDO UNA PÉDIDA DE TIEMPO Y SOBRE TODO DE DINERO. Me parece una estafa completa. No puede ser que una excursión de 200$ para ir a visitar el parque Yosemite, no se reprograme en un día de tormenta de nieve y diluvio; o al menos, que se de la opción de cancelar. Aún sabiendo y conociendo las condiciones que iba a haber hoy, nos han obligado a hacerla. 5am para hacer un trayecto que era a priori de 3 horas, en más de 6 horas porque el guía necesitaba hacer tiempo para justificar la excursión. Hemos parado 4 veces en sitios sin sentido para ir al wc. Básicamente nos ha dejado en dos spotlights para hacernos las fotos como marionetas. Y hemos pasado 3 horas sentados en el restaurante del parque sin hacer nada solo para cumplir con el horario. No se ha buscado ni un plan alternativo con este tiempo. Sinceramente un ROBO. Más barato coger el coche e ir tu. El guia basicamente es un conductor. Todo el dia literal comiendo y en el bus.
